Grand Theft Auto 4: Lost and Damned DLC release date is February 17, 2009
Grand Theft Auto 4: Lost and Damned has been revealed as the Xbox 360-exclusive Downloadable Content episode and is scheduled for release on February 17, 2009.
You may recall that one of the major selling points of the Xbox 360 version of the game was Microsoft’s ability to snag exclusive downloadable episodes from the paws of Sony (the game was originally going to appear just on the PS3) and now finally, six months later, the first details of the new episode, titled “Lost and Damned”, has been revealed.
The episode will feature a new main character and a new plot that intersects with the storyline of Grand Theft Auto IV. The new mission will offer a fresh way to explore Liberty City and will include new multiplayer modes, weapons, vehicles and a diverse soundtrack with new music that will what you expect from the GTA team.
“Making these episodes has enabled us to expand the narrative and the experience of interacting with a game world in really innovative ways,” said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games. “We hope fans of the game enjoy the new way of experiencing life in Liberty City contained in this first episode.”
The Lost and Damned main character is The Lost Biker gang member Johnny Klebitz, who Rockstar described as being “very different” from the star of the main game, Niko Bellic, who will make cameo appearances in the game but will only be a background character.
“I can’t go into too much detail on the story, because we try not to give away too much plot before the game is released,” said Rockstar Games vice president of creative development Dan Houser. “But I can say that the story will show you a different side of Liberty City.”
“We feel like we’ve only scratched the surface in terms of depth and detail,” Houser said.
Wedbush Morgan Securities analyst Michael Pachter said to expect the new episode to cost up to $20, and he expects Rockstar to be able to sell between 2 and 3 million downloads.

playstation3 games run on blu-ray disc, half of the 360 games dont run HD discs, and the 360 cannot access this site because it does have internet browser and i am on this site using my playstation3 also the 360’s graphics are not as sharp or anywhere good as the playstation3’s graphics, i could go on for ever with arguments saying tht the playstation3 is better and the only reason i know this is bcos i have gone through 6 xbox 360’s and now my garantee has expired with microsoft i can no longer send it off to be fixed unless i pay $200 so now it sits in the loft collecting dust where all xbox 360’s belong but i miss gears!
