GTA IV's Lost and Damned add-on coming to PS3?

Well, color us surprised. Info from PlayStation World magazine suggests that Microsoft only had a timed exclusive window on Grand Theft Auto IV's 'The Lost and Damned' add-on pack, rather than a permanent exclusive.

The timed exclusive is reported to end after a period of six months, which leads website GamingFront to speculate that the content will arrive on the PlayStation Network on August 20, 2009.

While we're treating this purely as a rumor at the moment, Rockstar is known for releasing Grand Theft Auto games first on a specific platform, then launching them on other platforms six months or a year down the line.

We'll be sure to let you know how this rumor pans out as soon as possible.

    Highly doubt they would pay 50 mill for a timed exciusive but you never know...

    People need to understand this is only on Xbox 360.
    If you wanna play it that bad, go play it at a friends house or buy a Xbox 360.

    Wasn't the 50 mil a loan? With all the money from people buying lad going to microsoft and if rockstar doesn't sell enough to make it up they owe microsoft.

    Without ms there wouldn't have been lad.

    Concidering they havent patched any of the current problems in multiplayer that I've been hearing about it would seem silly to expect them to release LaD for PS3. Not holding my breath although it would be hilarious that Brand X dropped 50 million bucks and it ends up that it's not exclusive.

    Who cares about this sht anyways, I never even finished the game, I might be the game but thats it for me and rockstar

    M$ can keep it, I sold my copy of GTA4 a long time ago. Like so many have done so already.

    At one point Rockstar wouldn't give a straight answer on this subject and then said that they couldn't rule out that PS3 wouldn't get some type of DLC in the future. At first I was thinking that they meant maybe Sony would get a different type of DLC down the road but maybe this is what they meant.

    @3 - Yeah, because everyone owns a 360 right?.... No.

    I didn't hear people complaining when Bioshock came to the PS3...

  14. Fenix | Faenix1

    • 1:50am BST - May 10th, 2009

    Let me get this straight, Microsoft might of spent 50 mil for TIME-exclusie DLC? Colour me laughed out.

    I really liked GTA IV, even more than the others. I don't have a 360 yet and will buy a used one soon, but as I want to get PS3 GTA IV again (sold it for another game), I would like to see this happen.

  16. Brokentusk81

    • 2:19am BST - May 10th, 2009

    Sucks for people who bought a  360 insteade of a ps3 b/c of the GTIV DLC. PS3 gets your exclusives too. ..  just a few months or years later. Slopy seconds doesn't bother me. Just as good.

    • 2:19am BST - May 10th, 2009

    would be nice if it came to PS3 since I don't want to rebuy GTA4 for Xbox 360. It should come just like how Ninja Gaiden 1 & 2 were exclusive to Xbox 360 and we got both of them along with Bioshock last year.

  18. loadstone007

    • 2:21am BST - May 10th, 2009

    Well, I don't really care about this DLC, 'cause it sucks. Microsoft can keep it.

    i probably wont buy it either way.

    ill probably buy ANYTHING from the PSN if they don't link it to pay pal or come out with PSN cards in canada

  20. higgos22

    • 2:35am BST - May 10th, 2009

    man ill get back at my friends and all those freaking fanboys saying yeh but we get dlc like gta 4 lost and damned, and @2 maybe they did i mean the money they get from xbl thats 1 million yrly subscriptions they got like 17million maybe rockstar wanted alot more

    and at everyone who says they wont buy it i to wont buy it and if it was free and i had a new hard drive then id get it but its just the fact that it isnt a microsoft exscsive means we put a nother nail in there coffin or ore so taken one out of ours

    I have a 360, I didnt get the DLC and I dont plan on getting it, PS3 or 360

  22. Darkstorn | Bronze_Panda

    • 2:45am BST - May 10th, 2009

    It's possible, but unlikely. It would be very nice, though...

    Even so, I already have too many games competing for my attention at the moment, and I hardly think that a matter of months will change that, especially with such great games coming out over the summer.

  23. C0SM0NECR0

    • 2:57am BST - May 10th, 2009

    yet another game and company that used 2 b exclusive and faithful to the playstation. all these companies are gangbang whores these days. would be nice to have though if they release it.

  24. KuroSe7en | KuroSe7en

    • 3:09am BST - May 10th, 2009

     That would be nice! I haven't got GTAIV yet though. 

  25. masonmcglasson

    • 3:13am BST - May 10th, 2009

     I can't wait to be playing it on PS3!

  26. Lunar_Chaos

    • 3:16am BST - May 10th, 2009

    @6

    troll? That's funny, lol.
    I don't even like Xbox 360 anymore.
    So how am I a troll?

  27. Fiddlesworth

    • 3:38am BST - May 10th, 2009

    You're suggesting people buy a broken system with much fewer upcoming permanent exclusives to play The Lost & Damned.

  28. hurleyboy

    • 3:40am BST - May 10th, 2009

     yeah this is useless content for a game that was promoted way to highly i really hope they go back to the surreal verions like gta SA and VC because GTA4 was a real letdown

     

    and as for the 50 mil 360 would throw away any amount of money to try and 1up the ps3 im still curious how much they paid Square its just ridiculous the way its decided its not the good game just lets buy every RPG and see if we can buy exclusivity of content for top sellers

     

    and then well just release Gears and halo once a year and well be good 

     

    stop propping your games sections with others ms its kinda annoying good thing tho you took alot of the crappy RPGS away from the ps3 that i woulda brought hungover one morning wanting to play and RPG so thank you for saving me money but i wouldnt nvr have brought them based on previews

    • 3:44am BST - May 10th, 2009

    LOL @ Radgamer.  Your LOL'er is not convincing.  It's obvious you would hate it if the rumor was true.  Your little 360 world would just come to an end wouldn't it?

  30. RuiyJR | Tseska_922

    • 3:46am BST - May 10th, 2009

    well if R* going to release L&D on ps3 then they should atleast cut that DLC's price to 9.99 or 5.99 lol

  34. ptmww3

    • 6:24am BST - May 10th, 2009

    I would like that before...but since there's a ps3 exclusive rumor going on i don't really care about lost and demand, i just want the cell processor and blue-ray powered ps3 exclusive. love GTA 4  :DDD Since this was on PlayStation Word Magazine, i doubt it's a rumor 100%

  35. Phantasmn | PHANTASMN707

    • 6:57am BST - May 10th, 2009

    Well, if this turns out to be true, that's a win win for everyone.

  36. chomperbull

    • 7:19am BST - May 10th, 2009

    the game suckedd but if ur into it good for u and to the troll go buy another 360 so it can replace ur elite thats going to die

    • 7:55am BST - May 10th, 2009

    I'm happy with the game as is.

    I don't a spin off.

    I could understand it if it was for the Niko side for the game, like extra areas or missions or side missions, collectables etc.

    I wasn't interested in it when i had the 360 version, and i'm sure not interested in it now for the Ps3 version.

    • 8:03am BST - May 10th, 2009

    i dont need it anymore, i'm having enough fun time with saint row 2, thank u.

    • 9:09am BST - May 10th, 2009

    If this is what Microsoft payed for, they're seriously plain stupid.

  41. TaMszz | TaMss

    • 9:15am BST - May 10th, 2009

     I doubt that it's coming to ps3, but then again I don't really care. Gta4 sucked compared to previous gta games.

    • 9:17am BST - May 10th, 2009

    maybe true ... mabye not ... but if its true ... i think we "PS3 owners" need a promise from Rock Star that they will provide us with more just a ported-DLC ... cause i am really sick of X-box 360's leftovers ... Ninja Gaiden , Lost Plante , Red Alert .. ets

    If only, atleast it would bring me back to GTA IV. Always wanted to replay it for the Trophies I missed.
