Microsoft has jumped the gun this morning it seems and released the second trailer for Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned on the Xbox Marketplace.

Gaming stores, such as GameStop and EB Games, should have recieved boxed versions of Grand Theft Auto: the Lost and Damned today which includes a poster and the code to download TLAD. Some boxes also include a 48 hour trial for Xbox Live (which I would wait to use if I were you as Xbox Live for GTAIV & TLAD will be free from the 17th till the 22nd).

Nothing new is revealed by the map, it's essentially a copy of the map that came with the original game, but with The Lost hangout circled. On the other side is the Biker Chick artwork with the Lost and Damned logo. The only new things revealed are by the box itself. The box says TLAD will take up about 2 gigabytes.

One interesting thing to note; the rating descriptors printed on the box say "Partial Nudity", just like the descriptors for the original game, however, there was a sticker placed over the rating descriptors indicating not partial nudity, but "Nudity". We're not exactly sure why at this moment. Perhaps the ESRB changed it's mind about the girls in the strip clubs? Was there something left in that Rockstar disclosed to avoid being AOed? Perhaps there will be a sex scene? (Mass Effect had a sex scene and it was still given a M rating) I guess we'll find out when TLAD is released for download on the 17th.

Here's some of the new information we've collected from the interview:

• Johnny was head of The Lost while Billy was incarcerated. When Billy comes back, Billy is not happy.
• The ending will have Niko and Johnny fighting with fists on top of a floating platform in a lava field.*
• When you get information, you will get a health boost and a couple of other things.
• There are mid-mission check-points.
• Johnny can use Love-Meet, you're not tied to your "old lady".
• One of the missions is where you use your grenade launcher and shoot though a Angel's of Death's club house and then you charge in.
• Multiplayer content will be talked about next week.
• When asked if there was a connection between Niko, Johnny, and Luis in the mission Museum Piece where you get the achievement "Impossible Trinity", pegging Luis as the possible main character for the next DLC, Jeronimo commented that "Those are some interesting dots to connect, that's all I'm going to say".

*Yes, we know they were joking.

If you didn't catch the interview on TV, you can see it now at GameTrailers.com.

This Friday, GameTrailers TV will be hosting their show from Rockstar's NYC office and will be showing exclusive first glimpses of various cut scenes, gameplay, and hints about the storyline of Grand Theft Auto IV: the Lost and Damned. The show will be airing on SpikeTV at 10PM PST and 1 AM EST.

Rockstar has sent us four new pieces of artwork for Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned. The first piece is Johnny on a bike with a shotgun, the second piece of artwork is Johnny standing with a shotgun, the third piece is Billy with a bat, and the fourth and final piece is the Biker Chick.

All four pieces are around 5000x3000 pixels in size.

Thanks Rockstar!
