GTA4.2 Definitely Out in '08

Downloadable something-or-other will let you continue your criminal misadventures in the next one to four months.

Expansion needs more Brucie.

IGN UK went and got a quick comment out of Microsoft over in Leipzig that, yes, the downloadable content for Grand Theft Auto IV will indeed be out this year. In "autumn," precisely, which I believe is better known as "fall." Wait, when is the equinox again? Let me pull out my trusty Google here...

Apparently fall starts on September 23. Hey, that's soon. That's next month!

What surprises me is Game|Life's speculation that this Microsoft exclusive is for-a-limited-time-only and that the expansion, or new episode, or whatever the hell it is will eventually hit the PS3 as well. I'm sure Rockstar loves money as much as anyone, and releasing on multiple platforms is obviously the way of things these days, but I was under the impression Microsoft had sufficiently bought off Take Two to make this a permanent 360-only bonus. Then again, you might have said the same thing about BioShock last year, and look how that's turning out.

I'm really curious to see how much work Rockstar puts into this thing. What do you expect out of a GTA4 downloadable content package? New characters, missions? Voiceovers? A whole new Liberty City borough? And how much would you pay for it?
