It seems I am a little late to this one, but according to reports I’ve read, there was recently a thread on Sony’s forums about GTA IV‘s DLC being playable on a PS3 at an unmentioned convention. Follow the break for a quote.

And they were certainly showing some PS3 love – Grand Theft Auto: The Lost and the Damned was available to play in a special 18+ area, we didn’t manage to get our hands on it due to the MASSIVE queue – but those inside looked pretty ***** excited.

The quote, which is allegedly from a Sony employee by the handle of ‘Yaster’ was deleted shortly after being posted. After the deletion of the thread, Yaster had this to say:

The text from the thread got sent to us from our guys in Germany, it’s a little late now but I’ve been trying to get in touch with them to ask if it was worded the correct way and if all the facts are correct.

So it’s possible the details are wrong due to a language barrier/improper translation. But the fact that the thread was deleted altogether and not edited makes the mind wonder. At this point, consider this info to be for the conspiracy theorists until we have further details.

UPDATE: Sony seems to outright denying it now. They claim that the PS3s weren’t playing GTA IV, but rather playing discs with promo images and information for the game and its DLC. I still find this hard to swallow, but believe what you will.
