MCP: GTA IV GETS LOST AND DAMNED

Well, we've been waiting for news about GTA IV's downloadable content for quite a while (it was originally supposed to be hitting around now) but we finally have a name and details for it. The Xbox 360 exclusive episode is called Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned, and will be hitting the Xbox Live Marketplace on February 17th.
As you can tell from these new screens, it's all about Liberty City's biker gang.
No longer will you control Niko. The episode will instead feature a new main character and a plot that intersects with the storyline of the game. There will be new multiplayer modes, weapons, vehicles, and most importanlty- a soundtrack with new music. Does this mean we're going to get biker tunes? Nice.
Still no word on pricing for this one but if I could wager a price I'd say 20 bucks. That DLC did not come cheap, you know... Microsoft paid 50 million to Rockstar for its exclusivity.
More as we hear it!

I have better driving/shooting controls, multiplayer that is 1000% better, more varied and exciting vehicles and weapons, customization options that are 500% better, and a more varied color palette. Fuck this GTA IV noise.

Saints Row 2 is fucking stupid.
GTAIV is a world apart from Saints fucking Row.
You'd have to be full on tardly to think a game that plays like something you'd put down after playing 5 mins of it on a Neo Geo is better than GTAIV

I love all these whiny PS3ers bitching about how the DLC should be available to both consoles. One guy on another board went to far as to say that such an exclusive practice should be illegal (calm down, drama queen).
Lemme explain this clearly: Microsoft hired Rockstar and paid them a shitload of money to create this for the 360. When Sony does the same for PS3, you guys will get your own exclusive DLC.
It's like me going to a restaurant and paying the chef to cook a feast that I can enjoy with my friends. Are you saying the other people in the restaurant have just as much right to the food as I do? By buying food, am I stealing it from the other guests? Microsoft paid for the content, so they can decide which console it runs on. Just like Sony won't allow their movies to be downloaded and viewed on the 360. You don't hear me whining about that, do you?
Now shut the fuck up.

'The Lost' huh? Seems like a reference to one of the prototype gangs from 'Manhunt' that was never used. Plus, the protagaonist, who I'm assuming is in the foreground in that first picture, has a shaved head. Could it be that this episode is the reintroduction of James Earl Cash?

both 'the lost' and the main character in this dlc were in GTAIV
