In its continuing and unyielding quest for world exclusives, Spike TV is adding another notch to its already pretty well-notched VGA belt with the "world premiere" of "The Lost and Damned," the first of two Xbox 360-exclusive DLC expansions for Grand Theft Auto IV.
There's not much more to glean from this press release – "The Lost and Damned" will provide "new missions that offer an entirely fresh way to explore Liberty City with new multiplayer modes, weapons and vehicles; and a diverse soundtrack with additional music" – but we're imagining the actual reveal will be a little more ... revelatory. Find out December 14th at 9PM on Spike TV (or, alternatively, a couple minutes later on Joystiq).

Hopefully new radio station content as well. Probably the best part of GTAIV was cruising around and listening to all the hilarious commercials and talk shows.

Pretty damned excited about this. Hopefully the story and characters are just as good as they were in the main game.

The "hardcore gamer" that gets the vast majority of their gaming news from sites like this or various web forums don't comprise the majority of "gamers" that are out there.
The Average Joe, who also plays games every now and then, is likely to be hearing about this expansion for the first time during the VGAs.

Spike targets males 18-33 (somewhere in that region).
You got...
UFC Unleashed
UFC Fight Nights
The Ultimate Fighter
TNA Wrestling
MANSWERS
Etc.
All these shows have HEAVY videogame marketing.

Does it have to be the Spike VGA's? Should I have to endure a classless production that assumes we are all 15-year-old boys? Why can't it be on Rockstar's website or something else? Why?
While I would prefer to see it first online, Strike Man is right about the fact that much of the general public who don't read joystiq every day are out in the black on the info of the GTA DLC.

I like many others simply do not like Microsoft (for good reason). I do however like Rockstar and look forward to this most likely great content losing its exclusivity.

Hopefully this isn't shit and it comes to the other versions of the game.

Watching Sons of Anarchy got me pumped for some biker action, so I'll definitely be downloading.
