Then MS would basically have to erase the great memories I have of when I got a PS2 and GTA III for Christmas 2001, or maybe a good old brainwashing would do it. :D They try to get people to connect GTA with the 360 in our collective minds… good luck with that.

I watch the adverts and I'm thinking "hey, it's on PS3 too, you cunts! stop trying to trick people!" Sony did a similar thing with Burnout Paradise, and I hope this isn't a trend that'll continue. All machines should get credit. Yeah I know, but it just seems a little scummy.

Seems they're trying to steal it for the 360, it's ever so slightly pathetic. Makes me want to buy it on the PS3 just to piss in their cornflakes.
