Here's The GTA4: Ballad Of Gay Tony Trailer

Sing a song of downloadable expansions from Rockstar North.

Rockstar just sent out the latest trailer for The Ballad of Gay Tony, the second Xbox 360-exclusive downloadable expansion to Grand Theft Auto IV. And here it is.  

 
     
 
Remember that even if you don't own GTA IV itself, you can play this one, along with the previously released episode The Lost and Damned, by grabbing the upcoming GTA IV: Episodes From Liberty City retail disc. How does this one strike you? Ready to head back to Liberty City's mean streets?

Sony were paying Rockstar millions to keep the games exclusive, that's the only reason they were.  But in the end, no amount of money could make up for the amount they'd make by making them multiplatform.  Besides, Sony didn't make them rich, the quality of their games did.  It would have been just as popular if it were on the N64 or Sega Saturn.  They simply chose to release their games on the system with the biggest audiance.
 
If you're refering to the exclusive DLC, then I do agree to an extent, it shouldn't be exclusive.  But take that up with Take 2, the publishers.  The deal had nothing to do with Rockstar.  Chances are, the content will come to the Playstation anyway.  But even if it's not, thanks to things like the Joker being apparantly permanently exclusive to the PS3, you can safely bet in the future Microsoft is going to take further steps to ensure content like this does stay exclusive.
 
Which is sad..  Sony should have stuck to the high ground like they originally said they would and not resort to securing exclusive content like this.  It's only going to make MS far more aggressive with theirs, until we get to the point every major multiplatform title has exclusive DLC for one system.

This looks a lot more interesting to me than the motorcycle one.

It should be enjoyable at least. Lost and the Damned was actually pretty good. Hopefully Gay Tony is as well.
 
Although I don't care for the club music they are pushing, that stuff always annoys me.

I think the correct response would be, "you are an idiot, grow up and stop being a fanboy and appreciate everyone being able to experience a good game, you stupid fanboy." :D

Might just pick up Episodes from Liberty City since I don't yet have the first DLC. I'm one of those guys who was dissapointed and underwhelmed by GTA IV but stil, the story and the voice acting seems strong and it seems as though Rockstar has added some really interesting new gameplay features. It's a maybe. 
By the way, I wonder if the 50 million dollar investment will pay off. Does anyone know how much money the first DLC has made so far?

Too bad I don't have this on 360.  TLaD seemed alright, but this one looks a lot better.  Hope all the rumors about multiplat are true but if not, oh well.
 
At the same time, they don't show all of the annoying things about GTA4 in this trailer - I just know after the first mission you'll get a cell phone, with which you will be asked you to go dancing or something.
The mission where you need to chase someone in a vehicle and it will be impossible to damage them before a scripted point.
The mission where you need to race against the easiest rubber band A.I. in a modern game.
.. and I still want to play this.

It's looking great although I wasn't a huge fan of the Lost and the Damned apart from its online multiplayer.
