@deftangel, IIRC, the 50 Million is not payment for exclusiveness of DLC. It is pre-payment (advance payment) for DLC, in which Microsofot doesn't have to pay a penny to T2 (Rockstar), until their DLC revenue share have exceeded $ 50 Million.
I believe that $ 50 Million is more like incentive for T2 to develop DLC for X360, or to make the DLC content time exclusive on X360, not as payment to make the DLC exclusive forever on X360.
About the $50 Million as advance payment, you can browse GTA IV comment (forgot whether it is for X360 one or PS3 one), and you can decide yourself whether you believe it or not.
