We still don't have a release date for the expansion or much more than a handful of screenshots, so we really hope you enjoy this box art until the first trailer hits tomorrow afternoon.

Yeah, but they didn't show a parachute. I've jumped from a helicopter many times in GTA: IV without a parachute.

This is a Standalone Disc Right?
So I don't need GTA IV on 360 to play this?
(I have GTAIV on PS3)

Yes, they are stand-alone. You do not need the orignal GTAIV.

Hey someone from Joystiq, can you ask Rockstar if this will have a thousand achievement points.

I want to know too. If so I would feel kinda by having gone the DLC route. If I had known about this I might have waited, since I measure my life's worth through my Gamerscore.

Oh this is another DLC apart from Ballad of Gay Tony? Interesting...
Also, I'm pretty sure you need GTA:IV to play these.

you DO have a point....it the "Contract" was for DOWNLOADABLE Chapters then this could very WELL just be released on PS3 as well....Time will tell....either way it wont be until next year....

oh? do you have a copy of the contract? did you actually see it? no? well then that's hearsay. the truth is that we don't know the actual wording of the deal, so everything is speculation. it's up to us to believe if what they tell us is accurate and honest.

In all reality I felt these dlc packs should've been exclusive to PS3.. It just made more sense to me. Luckily I don't need my PS3 version to play these expansions. WOOT!!

Why "should" it have been exclusive to the PS3? MS paid $50 million for these to be made exclusive for the 360.

That's not the point. "GTA DLC" sounds like a PlayStation situation. I'm just used to playing GTA on PS systems. I meant nothing bad.

I don't see an "Only for Xbox 360" logo on the box, possibly a PS3 port in the works, after all, it isn't "downloadable content" if you buy it on a disc right?

Somehow, I doubt Microsoft were stupid enough to miss some small technicality. Besides, they've always claimed they're exclusive episodes, not simply exclusive DLC. And for $50 million, I don't think MS will be giving it up lightly.
I'd guess that these will stay pretty exclusive, but all the future episodes will be multiplatform.. but who knows when it comes to this DLC crap, and hopefully this is the end of it.

Here's what I want to know.
I wonder if this will be given it's own 1000 Gamerscore seperate from GTA4, rather than adding another 125 on for Ballad of Gay Tony. I know the DLC cap has lifted, so maybe when they release the Ballad of Gay Tony, they'll add some Lost and Damned achievements, because 125 was so limiting to the whole experience on the achievement front. There was so much to do in L&D (which I did regardless of achievements) but little to reward you for it.
I hope this either gets it's own 1000 gamerscore, or they bump GTA4 up to 1750 rather than another 125 jump for the Ballad of Gay Tony. I'd love some more L&D cheevos.

Sorry I misworded the above. I wonder if the disc will have a seperate 1000 gamerscore FROM the 125 they'll probably add on for the Ballad of Gay Tony. Or, I wonder if it will just use the DLC achievements from GTA4, and appear as GTA4 on your gamercard.
Hope that's clearer.

I didn't think of that. I'd expect them to only give the box 500 points total. 250 for each episode. Unless they release extra achievements and points for the DLC versions to make it even, which doesn't seem likely. Also it will probably add to your regular GTA4 score instead of having its own title/slot.

I think the precedent for Episodes having the full thousand points has already been set with the release of Tomb Raider Anniversary. That was sold as dlc for Tomb Raider Legend with a total of 250 gamerscore available while it was released on a disc at a later date complete complete with a full thousand gamerscore available. I believe Episodes from Liberty City will follow suit.

When you go to Rockstar's website. it just says Xbox 360. Nothing about PS3.

FYI all the DLCs are timed exclusive. They will eventually come to PS3 but they're slow as hell. So grab the 360 version for now.

I've been seeing a lot of comments like this. Gotta give the GTA marketeers props.
They got many hardcore PC users to buy a console (an act of heresy to them) because they wouldn't confirm a PC port. They got many PS3/360 owners who were on the fence or leaning toward PS3 to buy the 360 version with the promise of downloadable episodes (conveniently avoiding talking about stand-alone versions). Now they're getting the remaining multi-console owners who did not buy it on 360 to buy the episodes now out of "exclusivity", as well as the folks who re-sold/traded their initial copy of GTA4 because they got bored with it.
Now what will their next surprise be? I'm betting they'll put a spin on the "Microsoft-owned" aspect and put the DLC on PC via GFWL announced near the end of this year. Or announce a multiplatform chapter of DLC. Or Both.

From Rockstar's Website.
"Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City includes both The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony together on disc exclusively for Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft."
This is no new game, just the disc version of the DLC and it is only for 360, sorry PS3.

You put it in the tray. It spins. A laser reads the data. You press buttons and your character performs an action that corresponds to the button you pushed. Your brain releases endorphins which elevate your mood. You smile. The End.
