We are happy to announce the much anticipated release of Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and Games for Windows® - LIVE on March 30, 2010. For the first time, PlayStation 3 and Games for Windows - LIVE players will have the opportunity to experience the last two thrilling chapters of the Grand Theft Auto IV saga.

 

The two action packed episodes will also be available for download on the PlayStation Network and Games for Windows® LIVE on March 30, 2010. Each episode boasts the same detailed and immersive Liberty City we all know and love. Games for Windows - LIVE players can enjoy 32-player multiplayer matches and an advanced video editor, and all fans will have the chance to once again listen to the dulcet tones of Liberty City Radio.

 

The Lost and Damned is a dark trip through Liberty City’s seedy underbelly as outlaw biker, Johnny Klebitz, fights to keep his gang together as a rift in the gang’s leadership threatens to tear the brotherhood apart. In The Ballad of Gay Tony, players explore Liberty City’s high-end nightlife as Luis Lopez, struggling to balance the temptations of money and vice against loyalties to family and friends. Both episodes feature a slew of new vehicles and weapons, and each episode adds new activities including cage fighting, gang wars and BASE jumping.

Was thinking of buying it for the 360, but going to buy the episodes for PC now instead. :D

Finally! This has taken much too long for players of the other platforms... Just hope it'll somehow be released as a PC-DVD, like what they did for the 360, instead of being a download-only thing

 

That's exactly what was said in the news I quoted on the first post. :cheeky: It is going to be released like on the 360, i.e Episodes from Liberty City is the Retail version which has both The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony, and doesn't need original GTAIV or you can buy and download them separately from PSN or GfWL. ;)

Just what M$'s X360 division intended when they handed over the $.

 

Does seem like a long time though, but the DLC is worth it. Story wise its solid and the multiplayer add ons, particularly BoGT are well worth it.

 

Now all I need to do is play them on my profile for the GS. :)

Good news indeed. :dance:

I'm not surprised this has happened, but it would be interesting to know what the contract between M$ and R* was. $50 million does seem like alot for temporary rights, considering the DLC and EFLC were not good sellers... can't see them racking up much from PC sales either. Most of that will be from illegitimate means imo.

 

Does this mean Shadow won't be able to fanboi whine anymore though?! ;)
