It would be amusing if come launch day, the DLC came in the box with the PS3 version, microsoft moan, rockstar say "well you said we couldnt give them it as DLC, this was the only other way!".
I never downloaded any content before and i wont this time, that said ill be getting the cheaper 360 version.

50 million is nothing to these game companys , it will proberly just be a couple of side missions or a few different cars

I really doubt you're going to be able to download a new San Andreas wih MS only paying 50mil, Rockstar would lose a lot of money.
Then rockstar could just charge for the content.

why would they lose a lot of money. their game and pricing is based on making an engine and making a game, the engine, tools to make levels and scripted story is all there and working, everything is done and making more content by that point is streamlined, quick and cheap. so thats the game, with whatever profits.
THen MS pay them 50mil to do more work build a quick city and so on, i mean how many designers does it take to build a city and how much time and on what wages, 50mil will easily cover that. You pay money to people to work, they work, thats how life goes. MS is paying them to do extra work on content for them, can't really see how hard that is to understand.
THe higher ups at Rockstar might well be making a few mil in wages, the level designers, texturing guys, these are normal guys on normal wages, 50mil will get a lot of work done. Rockstar aren't losing anything, they are simply going to spend extra time, to the tune of 50mil in man hours(probably significantly less to be fair) on content they would otherwise not have done and simply moved onto the next game.
ANyone that thinks the PS3 downloadable stuff will be comparable is just retarded. 50mil IS a lot to companies like Rockstar, this game will bring in a lot of money, but it cost a lot to make and gets heavily reinvested into next projects.

50 million is nothing? You do know, for example, Gears of War only cost 10 million to make the whole game right?
So it is 5 Gears of war we are talking about, that's not 'nothing'
$50m is massive money to ANYONE, especially games companies. The vast majority of games don't even make that up, especially as all parts of the pie are divvied up.
The vast majority of games don't even cost $50m, so it's a lot more than that.
$50 million is peanuts for a game series like GTA, its got massive hype and if only 6 million people worldwide pay $8 MS have broken even and gained a lot more fans and interest, the games business now you have to spend money to make it and spend big, .
Thats probably what you will be getting on PS3 for DLC
With $50 million they could easily build another GTA game and still have change left over, so yeah $50 million is nothing 
The 360 will more then likely get an extra borough to expand the current city, rather then creating a whole new one I can see them expanding and improving Liberty City. Also I can see the DLC missions included with them being a sort of side story from one of the other character point of view.

Sony don't need to waste money on DLC just to make more people buy their consoles.
I'm glad MS spent another £50m.. it's a waste tbh.. I certainly won't be going for a 360. Even though its out on both PS3 and 360 it's only advertised for the 360. why waste money? I'm still going to get it on PS3.
MS are wasting there money trying to change my mind hahaaaaa
At least MS are spending money on us and not just making up BS.
Glad to see you are enjoying your splitscreen 1080p 120fps 10.1 sound console.
Well they desperately need to do something.
If it was that significant they would release it as a new game and make hundreds of millions from it, not accept a paultry $50m from Microsoft.
You'll be lucky to get a new street or two nevermind a new city let alone one San Andreas sized, heck GTA4 isn't even San Andreas sized and that's been in development years...
