A new listing on the website of U.S. retailer GameStop implies that the forthcoming downloadable content pack for Grand Theft Auto IV will be available to purchase in stores – although the expansion will still needed to be downloaded via Xbox Live. The product listing is priced at $19.99 and is due for release on February 17th, the date already confirmed by Rockstar. The product will not come with a disc, but instead a “token card” with a unique code to download the game via Xbox Live Marketplace, as well as a two-sided poster. Entitled “The Lost & Damned”, the eagerly awaited expansion is one of two exclusive slices of downloadable content available only for the Xbox 360 version of Grand Theft Auto IV. The release date of the second expansion is still unknown. Rockstar has still to confirm any specific details about the first expansion, but it is believed to include a number of new missions, multiplayer modes, weapons and music. Reports also suggest that it will feature a new lead character: a member of biker gang The Lost named Johnny Klebitz.
