Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and the Damned will cost a stellar 1600 Microsoft Points. That translates to 20 real dollars or roughly a fourth of the cost of Jack LaLanne’s Power Juicer Plus (but only if you act now).
This is the official price -- Eurogamer was able to pull the confirmation directly from Rockstar. Twenty bucks may seem like a chunk of change, but there’s a reason. Eurogamer is reporting that it is “roughly” equal to one-third of the main game's story missions. Plus, there’s an Achievement with the number “69” that comes with it. Why not pay the money to show that one off to your mom?
GameStop and other retailers have been listing this price for the content for over two millennia, so this isn’t exactly a surprise. Retailers are right 900 billion percent of the time.

You might as well hope for Halo on PS3.
I picked up the Legendary Map Pack DLC for Halo 3 at half price on one of the MS Holiday sales. I don't think it's all that unlikely that this will come down in price eventually. Mass Effect's bonus content was reduced for a bit, too.
I think 1600 points aint bad for proper not hidden on the disc/held back from the retail game DLC.
One thing I know is MS wont make back 50 million on this DLC alone.Maybe the extra games/consoles sold helped but 50 million...........
glad i never went with the microsoft hype machine. and got this on the ps3.
this is a waste of money. about $50 million worth.
At what point does a game have so much content that adding a fuck-ton more makes no difference in the grand scheme of things?
All I can say is it's a good thing Rockstar got payed a boat-load for the exclusivity because I don't think this DLC is going to sell very well AT ALL.
Basically, casual GTA players (the vast majority of people thhat bought the game) dont even play to beat the game, they only play for the ability to run down the street killing random people. The only people I could see being interested in this are the people that ACTUALLY played the game from start to finish and hit up pretty much every side mission on the way. That's not very many people.
Afford an Xbox 360
Afford Xbox LIVE
Afford a copy of GTA IV
than stop bitching about the price of an expansion pack, because you can clearly afford it. STFUAJPG
1200 would have been a much fairer price, though still pushing it in the grand scheme of things.
