BetaNews | at | by Mike
Although it stops short of the coveted "exclusive" contract, Microsoft said Wednesday that it had paid $50 million for exclusive content for Take-Two's Grand Theft Auto IV.The next sequel in the wildly popular game series will launch in October on both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, however downloadable add-ons will only be available for Microsoft's version.
Microsoft will pay $25 million for each of the two add-ons Take-Two is to produce. The company is likely hoping to recoup much of the cost through whatever content it decides to charge users for downloading.
