Today's the long awaited launch day of the new GTA game: The Ballad of Gay Tony, an Xbox 360 exclusive available through Xbox LIVE at 1600 Microsoft Points ($20), as well as the compilation disc of both games: Lost & Damned and Ballad of Gay Tony that will be retailing for $40

Content: Grand Theft Auto: The Ballad of Gay Tony
Price: 1600 Points
Availability: Not available in Japan
Dash Text: (ESRB: M (Mature) BLOOD AND GORE,INTENSE VIOLENCE,PARTIAL NUDITY,STRONG LANGUAGE,STRONG SEXUAL CONTENT,USE OF ALCOHOL,USE OF DRUGS,ONLINE INTERACTIONS NOT RATED BY THE ESRB) The Ballad of Gay Tony injects Liberty City with an overdose of guns, glitz, and grime. As Luis Lopez, part-time hoodlum and full-time assistant to legendary nightclub impresario Tony Prince (a.k.a. “Gay Tony”), players will struggle with the competing loyalties of family and friends, and with the uncertainty about who is real and who is fake in a world in which everyone has a price. There are no refunds for this item. For more information, see www.xbox.com/live/accounts.

Add The Ballad of Gay Tony to your Xbox 360 download queue and begin playing right now or purchase Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City which contains both The Ballad of Gay Tony and The Lost and Damned as stand alone games that do not require the original Grand Theft Auto IV game to play.

So, who's getting them? personally, I'm getting the disc version just because I can't directly get Microsoft Points, (only Nintendo likes Latin American CCs lol) otherwise I would get the downloadable since it's more convenient.

I'm getting it on disc soon, I have Xbox LIVE but not a HDD . I'm pretty excited for it, I heard you can get a tank.

Leap before you think!

I'll probably download it as a stand alone instead of getting both for $40. I'm not that interested in The Lost and Damned.

Yeah, I heard that too, Rockstar included a lot of crazy stuff on these two games, and at the same time made a more serious GTA IV... I've liked the overall feel of the game... I'm not yet their best fan, but GTA IV has been undoubtly the best for me, and this two new games look like a lot of fun in a setting we met in the game.

@donth8theplaya69 The Lost & Damned appear in the main GTA IV story, that's one of my main motives to get it, you should check the story out...

I finished the game but the biker theme isn't really my cup of tea. I prefer Ballad of Gay Tony's nightlife theme.

I got GTAV for the PS3 so DLC for me. I actually enjoyed the 20+ hours ive put into it so far as Im not a big Sandbox Game guy but they really put a lot love into the game. Rockstar really got back on my list of devs to watch with it. I love my black Corvette parked right outside my crappy apartment ;)

I loved GTA IV but I can't help feel it was almost like a backwards step in the evolution of the series. In no way was it a bad thing but it didn't feel like a next gen GTA. Lost and Damned is great, if only for the humour:)

I think I'll have to replay the lot now that I have my new TV, it'll be like playing it all over again!:)

Playing through Gay Tony now (via DLC). I enjoyed Lost and the Damned, but Gay Tony is definitely better. Having more fun playing as Luis than i did as Johnny, and maybe even more so than as Nico in the main game, but it's close. Probably about 10-12 hours put into it so far; about 2/3 of the way through the various missions (i spend a lot of time goofing off in any GTA or Saints Row game).

Just enjoy the movie. It has Tom Berenger.
