Well it appears all the rumors of the Grand Theft Auto IV DLC being a limited exclusive to the Xbox 360 were true, on March 30th 2010, PlayStation 3 and PC owners of GTA IV will finally catch a break and be able to play the two action-packed episodes which have become just as popular as the original game itself. The Lost and Damned & The Ballard of Gay Tony will make it into the hands of both PlayStation 3 and PC owners in the form of 'Episodes from Liberty City'. Just like the Xbox 360, if you own GTAIV you also have the choice to download each episode individually. You can see the complete announcement from our friends at Rockstar below:
"The much anticipated release of Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City for the PC and for PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system is coming this spring – on March 30, 2010. For the first time, PlayStation 3 and PC players will have the opportunity to experience the last two thrilling chapters of the Grand Theft Auto IV saga together on one disc.
The two action packed episodes, The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony, will also be available for download via PlayStation®Network and Games for Windows®-LIVE on March 30, 2010.
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. 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. Both episodes feature a slew of new vehicles and weapons, and each episode adds new activities including cage fighting, gang wars and BASE jumping."
