Meet Tony Prince.

Microsoft scored big with Grand Theft Auto IV. Not only did it manage to get the latest entry into the hugely popular franchise on the same day as the PlayStation version (a first), it also scored two exclusive DLC episodes.

The first was the Lost and Damned, and now the second is on its way with the Ballad of Gay Tony, which will be here on October 29. Rockstar today released a new trailer for the upcoming DLC, which you can watch in the video embedded below.

And in case you missed the debut trailer that hit earlier this month, check it out below.

The Ballad of Gay Tony will be available on the Xbox 360 on October 29 as either a DLC package for 1600 Microsoft Points ($20) or together with the Lost and Damned in a retail disc package.

I think the name "Gay tony" isn't very good for a game.

AS usual 360 only and nothing for the PC and the PS3 except for boring patches to fix bugs they should have worked out to begin with. Time to hunt down some mods that add fun to the game either than some cheesy cars.

I wonder what it took for Microsoft to convince Rockstar to make the DLC's exclusive. I can understand why Microsoft wants to keep it from the PS3 and its sort of a smart business move on their part but I do wonder why they are keeping it from PC gamers as well since it is a Windows Live game and would further profit Microsoft.

no one seriously wonders why its locked up right? If so, Ps3 is claimed to hard to work with and the pc is nothing but a "loss" in their eyes. Oh well...we will see better days. Not getting my money.

Sad to see how much juice GTA IV takes to play on a PC...

How about a even halfass optimized PC version?

There is absolutely no chance that Rockstar releases either expansion for the PS3. They have an exclusive agreement with Microsoft. I don't know how much Microsoft paid Rockstar to go Xbox exclusive but it had to be more than what Rockstar predicted they would have made in revenue from making both expansions multi-platform or else they wouldn't have done it.

And Playstation fans have no room to be complaining. GTA3 and all sequels were 6+ month timed exclusives for the Playstation 2.

it peaked my interest but still is not worth getting an Xbox 360 for since i already have GTA IV for the PS3

I really got into the GTA games when San Andreas came out. That game raised the bar so much higher when you compare it to the previous GTA games. The amount of content in that game is absolutely insane. GTA4 added more "polish" and better graphics, but actually took a step back in some ways by doing things like removing planes and the ability to buy safe houses. I still think GTA4 is a great game, but I think SA is better overall. I was hooked on that game for probably 1 year after it came out, playing nothing else.

well that is the key word TIMED the other systems got them eventually but with this deal they wont be releasing it for the other systems as they did with GTA3 and the other sequels. Well i guess its not surprising nowadays where it seems to be the norm for companies to develop for the less capable xbox 360 instead of the ps3.

And of course... nothing for PC... because MS "supports PC" Gaming, blah!

GTA IV - is the ONLY GTA game I don't have. Nothing but complaints about playability and hard on the hardware when it shouldn't.... ie: Another BAD port for the PC.

I wansn't interested in GTA 4 (as i played most of them)

N was thinking that the game couldn't be that good...

But was a mistake, it's a great game : the cinematic and story line are good only problem is that the graphics are hard on comp.

only problem is that why is there a expansion about gayness..... gayness it's that special nowadays.

I wonder if they wanna get the gay money out there: way to go Rockstar

Don't forget how developping for PS3 is a lot more complicated than for XBOX. At least, that's what reports say...

GTA3 was released in October of 2001 for PS2 and November 2003 for the Xbox. 25 months later. Come back Christmas 2011 and I'll listen to your sob story.
