Psyched enough to buy the 360 version and sell off my PS3 one. Definitely looking forward to it.

A small look at the upcoming DLC. Sounds kinda neat.

And IGN's look.
And IGN's look.
Depending on skill level and amount of time you spend messing around, Rockstar expects The Lost and Damned to take anywhere from 12-20 hours to complete. And that's just the single-player story. For $20 (1,600 MSP), L&D offers a full-fledged campaign, new locations, new mini-games (arm wrestling!), refined gameplay mechanics, new vehicles, new weapons, a hefty new soundtrack, new DJs, new TV shows, new Internet sites, and new multiplayer. One thing's for certain: Rockstar isn't dicking around with horse armor.
To access The Lost & Damned, boot up a copy of GTA IV and start a new game. You can now choose between GTA IV and L&D. Though both take place in Liberty City, the two are separate stories and separate game worlds, meaning you don't gain access to the new interiors in L&D if you're playing GTA IV. You can't take Niko into The Lost clubhouse to kill a bunch of bikers, sorry. Aside from the initial download, you won't need an Xbox Live connection to play L&D. Unlike some downloadable content, there's no online verification required. So if the 'net goes down, you can still take L&D for a spin.

I felt like such a geek last night. I was so excited that I found a Coquette (Corvette) painted just like Face's from the A-Team. I jumped out of the Coquette I was actually driving at the time and stole it and parked it in my save spot! 
It was the first one I've seen. Is it common?

Thats interesting. I think mines in 1080i cause I can tell by my screen. However my TV overscan is SO bad, that the hints and street names, money, are all cut off around the screen.
Whats up with this game (and LAIR in fact) being so damn DARK! I can barely see what the hell is going on, despite the screen being 47'! Thinking about it, Im dissapointed in the look of the game.

It's odd. I have a 50" (not HD) and some of the text is hard to read.

Re: The Official GTA IV - multi console super friends thread - Part 2!
So last night my friend and i met up for some free mode in GTA, (man we can just screw around for hours in this game) anyhoo, we both received a very quick little download when we first started the game. (xbox 360) anyone know exactly what that was for? and when it came out? The last time I played was a week ago or less and did not get prompted for the download then.....Thanks

The dinging is really annoying.
Another thing I noticed they changed (for the worse): When you hit start the "Game" portion flashes until you click on Downloads. Thanks.

Re: The Official GTA IV - multi console super friends thread - Part 2!
So I took GTA over to my in-laws to play on their rediculous 73" flat screen (they have a PS3). I installed it and copied my save file from my PS3 and copied that onto their PS3. When I tried to load the game it said "you did not create this save file". Is there any way around that? At this point I've just started a new game on their machine... but I would rather not have to play the game over again. (Sorry if this has been asked before.)

You may have to create a new user and enter your account info. You can delete it afterwards, I guess.

The dinging was always there. I remember the GPS lady would sometimes say "Ding Dong" and it made me laugh when I first got it.

You can probably thank the trophies for that. When it was new, I had no problem at all moving my save file to play on my brother's PS3, and I didn't change the user on his console.

The GPS only dings on the nicer cars iirc. If you are driving a beater it doesn't have that feature.
