    Rockstar has confirmed to Eurogamer that its upcoming downloadable expansion for Grand Theft Auto IV--the biker-fueled adventure known as The Lost and Damned--will be available on February 17 and will sell for 1600 Pieces of Microsoft, which converts to 20 Obamabux at the standard points rates.

    Speaking of standard points rates, you might want to check out all those closing Circuit City locations. We wandered around one today, and while most of the EVERYTHING MUST GO deals weren't all that great, they were selling points cards at a 30 percent discount. That means you could get The Lost and Damned for around $14, if you were so inclined.

    Oh, and if you need a reminder as to why you'll probably want to get this new chunk of GTA IV, which is said to be around a third of the size of the original game, here's that trailer again:

    Sounds awesome. Also, kotaku had a look at it and came away with some interesting details.

    I hope they tweak the riding on the bikes tho.

    I was not impressed with the realism of GTA IV. Fucking ruined the game for me. Never was able to get myself to finish it I will however, probably get this DLC. Sounds pretty damn amazing to me.

    Looks awesome. Also Rowr, the Eurogamer preview did say the bike handling had been improved, giving them more weight and sticking to the road better. Also, the new weapons (grenade launcher, sawn-off shotgun which you can shoot from the bike, new smg) sound pretty great.

    Urgh... why oh why do they sell MS Points in Canada in 1400 point denominations? I get that our currency is worth less, but couldn't they just charge more on the 1600 point cards? Now I'm stuck picking up a 3800 point card just to buy this.

    I was, at first, disappointed that the DLC is $20 till I was reminded that Circuit City is having their liquidation sales, and deservingly so. That retail chain sucked ass!

    Doesn't seem that cool, nor does it seem worth 1600 points. 800 tops. Probably won't get it.

    Regarding the Circuit City tip, just got back from the local store, and there is NO DISCOUNT applied to MSP cards.  Not sure if that is just here (Tampa) or at all stores, but even the associate was surprised to find out that the MSP cards had no discount at all on them.  However, Xbox 360 accessories are 30% off, perhaps that is where the confusion lies?

    Since I've never really felt like this is going to be a 360 exclusive for the rest of all time (especially in this economy, and especially since I also got laid off last week), and since I bought the PS3 version, I think I'll wait it out and see if I can't get some kind of packaged deal down the line.

    That and I haven't even finished the Niko bits of the game yet.

    Yeah, just not that excited about this Buh-rotherhood.

    Is this the DLC we should be excited about? 20 bucks for that? Um, I hope it is at least 15 hrs long or even 20 hrs because that means I would ended up paying 100 USD for GTA IV if I were to buy this and included it into price, ouch...Anyway, anyone up for SFIV?

    I'll probably get it, but the $20 price point may sway me away if I hear elsewhere that it isn't great.

    Well, if it's 1/3 the original size of GTAIV, the price is right when it comes to the dollar math. Can't wait!

    The Circuit City here didn't have that kind of a sweet sale going on at all.  However, I did finally pick up Sudden Impact and The Dead Pool to complete my Dirty Harry collection...

    ...only to find out that there was an actual 7-disc collector's set for $60 vs. the $50 I spent buying all five movies.  =  (

    @ShadowDoGG: Economically, the world does revolve around the United States. I'm kinda ashamed of it. With the recent bailouts and such, I fear Capitalism is becoming the next Naziism in terms of a system that breeds misguided morals, but that's just me.

    Also, "Join the Bohr-Rutherford" is what came to mind when I saw the headline.
