GTAIV: Ballad of Gay Tony DLC gets a release date

Rockstar has confirmed that the second Xbox 360-exclusive piece of downloadable content for Grand Theft Auto IV, ‘The Ballad of Gay Tony’, will be hitting Xbox Live on 29th October.

“”As Luis Lopez, part-time hoodlum and full-time assistant to legendary nightclub impresario Tony Prince (aka 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,” says Rockstar.

As previously announced, this content will set you back 1600 MS points. Alternatively, you could pick up Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City, which will be a retail disc that includes both Gay Tony and previous DLC The Lost and Damned. It’ll be on store shelves from the same date, and will cost £34.99. This means it would be cheaper to download both episodes from Xbox Live, as you could purchase 4000  MS points for £34, and still have 800 points left over for an XBLA game.
