Are you one of the many PlayStation 3 owners that are a little disappointed that you couldn?t play the episodic content for Grand Theft Auto IV? Don?t worry. Rockstar understands your frustration and apparently they have big things in store for PS3 owners in 2010.

While speculation is one of the best things going in the industry, we?re going to assume that either 2010 will be the year PS3 owners finally get their hands on GTA IV?s episodic content or that Rockstar may be announcing another prime exclusive for the PlayStation 3. Most will point their fingers to Grand Theft Auto 5, but we?re hoping for a new property much like The Agent.

If you?re wondering where this info is coming from, well, today, Rockstar published more answers to their fan?s questions on their official blog. This was one of the responses when questioned with content on the PlayStation 3.

The question posed was, ?I was highly anticipating the release of The Ballad Of Gay Tony, but just found out that it is only on the XBox360. I am certain that I am not the first person to ask this, but how come it wasn?t released on the PS3??

Which Rockstar replied, ?We know that it continues to be an often-asked question ? and believe us, we understand the frustration of PS3 owners like yourself who haven?t been able to play any of our most recent releases. All we can say is that we at Rockstar promise to be very good to you with our releases in 2010. Please stay with us and stay tuned!?

We look forward to finding out exactly what this is!

There?s also news on the oft hidden L.A. Noire. The game was originally presumed to be a PlayStation 3 exclusive, but with Rockstar handing Agent to Sony, this game is expected to be for the Xbox 360 and PC also. The question for the past year or so was whether the game actually exists.

A question asked, ?Your latest word on L.A. Noire is that it is coming along ?splendidly? and that we can expect more details very soon, but that was in September. I?ve been anticipating this game for ages now and I was wondering if you can provide any new information or when in fact you?ll publicly provide more information. By the way, is it still on the PS3??

And Rockstar replied: ?There will be something great to see soon ? a proper in-depth look at the game and why it is so ground breaking and innovative, both in terms of the game?s design and the amazing new technology to support it. Expect to see a long-awaited reveal via a big cover story next month.?

It?s about time!

I hope/can't wait to see information on L.A. Noire and Agent in the next couple of months. :D

sounds like another interesting year ahead for sony. looking forward to it.

i just hope its not gay tony..

I'd still love to play both The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony DLC on PS3.

Not going to happen. Microsoft paid exclusivity for those two. So either it's a new exclusive DLC or a muti-console DLC for GTA4 that will be announced.

I just hope they don't though. Who cares about GTA4 anymore? It's way too late for new DLC. :/ Bring on GTA5!

They paid for TIMED exclusive not all out exclusive so it could well be them two packs :)

It's my understanding that Microsoft supplied them with 50 million dollars in some form to help with development of the DLC.

I thought it was more complex than this, like it was a loan or whatever and they'd have to give MS a certain amount back at some point or whatever. I don't think they got to just take 50 million anyway.

Anyway I'd say they are alluding to DLC. The likely hood of them doing an exclusive game seems slim for me, especially when GTA4 sold pretty evenly on both systems.

While I am expecting Agent info etc., I'm also pretty sure I read that it was a loan that was to be partially paid back in some form.

      All these CEOs got the biggest boners thinking about firing employees for AI. Turned out it was just a wet dream.

      And the fact that the majority of people from Poland are white European Christians while the people you are complaining about in post after post are not is just a coincidence... Every sentence in your post I am replying to is racist nonsense. None of it is actually based on any facts whatsoever. All immigrants are seeking a better life too. It's literally the only reason they would risk everything and leave their homes, families, and homeland. They are working and contributing to the economy too, as you even admit. They get the same benefits your partner did AND that YOU are eligible for as well. That is one of the key things of the EU and a mark of a civilization. That is the definition of a society where everyone is given a chance, treated equally and fairly, and is judged by the content of their character, not their different skin color or which version of ignorant superstitious nonsense their parents lied about as children. Racists around the world said the same things about the Irish and Jews and Poles (like your partner) and...every other immigrant movement over the centuries. What's your family's heritage, by the way? Were your ancestors lied about with racist fearmongering crapola by self-entitled locals the same way as you are now? If someone like that said the same things about all people from Poland, like your partner, would they be right? Or would you want them to judge your partner based on who they actually were, not where they just happened to come from?
