Good news for GTA fans is that Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City has finally arrived on the PS3, after almost six month’s exclusivity on the Xbox 360 but better late than never.
It’s official! After over a year of exclusivity on the Xbox 360, Grand Theft Auto IV’s downloadable content, The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony, will soon become available for both the PC and PS3.
From March 30th around the world, PS3 and PC gamers will be given access to the two sets of add-ons, either as individual downloadable content (in which case you’ll need a copy of GTA IV) or as an all-in-one retail compilation called Episodes From Liberty City, comprising both The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony (in which case you won’t need a copy of GTA IV).
Rockstar’s Sam Houser enthused:
Microsoft has taken the wraps off a new limited edition Grand Theft Auto Xbox 360 bundle.
The bundle includes an Xbox 360 Elite console as well as Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City and Grand Theft Auto IV. It will be available in South African stores from the 13th of November for R3499 but only for a limited time.
For a princely sum of 1600 MS Points, you’ll be able to gain access to Liberty City’s world of “guns, glitz and grime,” in a new Grand Theft Auto IV episode, The Ballad of Gay Tony, now available on Xbox LIVE Marketplace.
“As Luis Lopez, part-time hoodlum and full-time assistant to legendary nightclub impresario Tony Prince (a.k.a. “Gay Tony”), players will struggle with the competing loyalties of family and friends, and with the uncertainty about who is real and who is fake in a world in which everyone has a price.”
Be sure to take a look at all of El33tonline’s previous coverage of GTA IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony, as well as the compilation disc, GTA: Episodes From Liberty City, to flip through a wealth of screenshots, trailers and extra information.
A batch of new GTA: The Ballad of Gay Tony screenshots have found their way out into the public, accompanied by a crazy, crazy trailer for GTA: Episodes From Liberty City, which comprises GTA: The Lost and Damned as well as the upcoming Ballad of Gay Tony into one, standalone retail package.
As can always be expected from Rockstar, the trailer is of the highest quality (with sharp humour squeezed in for kicks), while the screenshots continue to impress:
Rockstar has released yet another amazing trailer (do they have awards for these things?) for its collection of Grand Theft Auto IV downloadable content (DLC), which packs both The Lost and Damned DLC and The Ballad of Gay Tony DLC into one retail disc.
Entitled Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City, the pack will be available on October 29th worldwide on Xbox 360, and won’t require a copy of the original Grand Theft Auto IV to play, which is nice.
The trailer for Episodes from Liberty City also contains all of the Roxette you can handle, so decide wisely whether or not to watch it below:
The good Major recently posted up on his blog that the latest Xbox LIVE Deal of the Week concerns a 400 MS Point price drop for the GTA IV downloadable content (DLC), The Lost and Damned.
Xbox LIVE Gold members can now get the GTAIV DLC for 1200 MS Points, as opposed to the usual 1600 MS Points. This offer only lasts for a week, though, so you’d better get to it!
Rockstar Games has announced that Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City will be available worldwide on the 29th of October.
Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City will include two complete games, The Lost and Damned and The Ballade of Gay Tony, together on one disc exclusively for the Xbox 360. The game will retail at $39.99 and will not require a copy of the original Grand Theft Auto IV to play.
Rockstar Games and Take-Two have announced that the next set of downloadable content (DLC) for Grand Theft Auto IV (GTA IV) will be releasing (again exclusively) for the Xbox 360 this Fall, going by the name The Ballad of Gay Tony.
Following in the footsteps of the previous GTA IV DLC, The Lost and Damned, The Ballad of Gay Tony puts players in the role of Luis Lopez, “a part-time hoodlum and full-time assistant to legendary nightclub impresario Tony Prince (aka “Gay Tony”).”
The DLC will go for $19.99 and makes heavy use of the nightclub life of Liberty City, which is a huge departure from The Lost and Damned’s biker gang theme. The Ballad of Gay Tony will require a copy of GTA IV to play.
Take-Two also revealed that they would be releasing both of the DLC packs, The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony, on a single standalone disc entitled Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City. The pack will go for sale at retail with a current RRP of $39.99, and will not require a copy of GTA IV to play. Commenting on this new retail opportunity, Take-Two president Ben Feder said:
Grand Theft Auto IV day continues, as new footage from the new GTA IV downloadable content (DLC), The Lost and Damned, rises to the surface.
Below you can watch a bit of story-related gameplay, not only showcasing the wonderful voice work in The Lost and Damned, but the wonderful action, explosions and gunplay as well. Polished to a tee (spoilers may be included, depending on your definition of the term):
After some mouse-clicking action on your part below, you can watch another piece of The Lost and Damned gameplay, as the game’s main gang, The Lost, battle it out on the streets against their rival, the Angels of Death:
To get in the mood for the just released GTA IV downloadable content (DLC), The Lost and Damned, you can get your Xbox Avatar all dressed up for the occasion with a new pack of Avatar biker clothing.
For the guys, you can get a cool Rocker Jacket and a Skull Ring, while the gals can get a keen pair of Black 60’s Boots and Biker Gloves, amongst other clothing accessories. Peek below for the full list of items you can gussy your Avatar up with, below:
Yep, that’s right, the long-awaited downloadable content (DLC) for the enormous Grand Theft Auto IV, The Lost and Damned, is available now to purchase and download, provided you’ve already got the original GTA IV on Xbox 360, that is, as well as the requisite 1600 MS Points.
The Lost and Damned follows the story of biker gang The Lost, as players take control of veteran gang member Johnny Klebitz, trying to help The Lost survive in Liberty City.
Johnny soon finds himself in the middle of a gang war when Billy Grey, the leader of The Lost, becomes intent on tearing up the city to enforce their authority, while Johnny simply wants what’s best for the gang. Enormous explosions and epic gunfights ensue. Riveting stuff!
Get in the mood to cruise with the intro trailer for The Lost and Damned below:

Another exciting trailer for GTA IV’s downloadable content (DLC), The Lost and Damned, this time featuring a glimpse at a familiar face from GTA IV.
Yes, Niko from the original game will make an appearance in The Lost and Damned, although it’s unclear in what capacity he will be available, or what part he plays in the add-on content. Providing missions? Probably not playable though… probably.
Watch the launch trailer for GTA IV: The Lost and Damned below:
GTA IV: The Lost and Damned is available on Xbox LIVE on February 17th - set your clocks and circle your calendars!
Rockstar Games music supervisor Ivan Pavlovich has revealed some of the new tracks that will accompany the new GTA IV downloadable content (DLC), The Lost and Damned, as four of the GTA IV radio stations are receiving fresh new hits.
As the information is a bit difficult to understand for non hip-hip enthusiasts, and rather than butcher the information in an attempt at dissemination, you can instead head on over to MTV News where the story originally appeared.
For those of us that just want to look at pretty screenshots, however, you can continue with that activity below:
To celebrate the release of the Grand Theft Auto IV downloadable content (DLC), The Lost and Damned, Microsoft will be making its multiplayer Xbox LIVE services free for a week, for those playing either the new DLC or vanilla GTA IV.
