Rockstar officially prices GTAIV DLC 'The Lost and Damned'

[Prime]

Rockstar has confirmed to Eurogamer that the upcoming DLC for Grand Theft Auto IV will be priced for the long-rumored cost of 1600

($19.99 at retail). The Lost and Damned is said to add hours of game play as players take on the role of Johnny Klebitz, member of the Liberty City biker gang The Lost.

The 1600

price-point rumor had been swirling since video game retailer GameStop added a product page for The Lost and Damned on its website. The retail version of the content will not ship on disc, instead it will be made available in the form of a redemption code that will require a connection to Live (Yes, Silver Members too). We've been operating under the assumption that the content would be 1600

for quite some time and comments we've seen don't appear to be too angry at it, considering the amount of content promised. But now that it's official, what do you think about the price to re-enter Liberty City?

The Lost and Damned will become available on February 17, exclusively on the Xbox 360.

Damn, not on a disc? So I actually have to pay for this if I want to play it.

Wha, is it only for 360? Damn, I thought I'd be able to play this on my ps3

Afraid not. Microsoft paid $50 million dollars to Rockstar in order to get the exclusive console rights to any and all GTAIV DLC.

Read the review of it on IGN. I went from having no interest in the content to now pondering whether I should or not. In the end I'll probably get it to check out the hub bub

Wow... bit more than I expected. I predicted 1200 MS points.
