GTA IV: The Lost and Damned In Stores Now
GTA IV: The Lost and Damned In Stores Now
Gaming stores, such as GameStop and EB Games, should have recieved boxed versions of Grand Theft Auto: the Lost and Damned today which includes a poster and the code to download TLAD. Some boxes also include a 48 hour trial for Xbox Live (which I would wait to use if I were you as Xbox Live for GTAIV & TLAD will be free from the 17th till the 22nd).
Nothing new is revealed by the map, it's essentially a copy of the map that came with the original game, but with The Lost hangout circled. On the other side is the Biker Chick artwork with the Lost and Damned logo. The only new things revealed are by the box itself. The box says TLAD will take up about 2 gigabytes.
One interesting thing to note; the rating descriptors printed on the box say "Partial Nudity", just like the descriptors for the original game, however, there was a sticker placed over the rating descriptors indicating not partial nudity, but "Nudity". We're not exactly sure why at this moment. Perhaps the ESRB changed it's mind about the girls in the strip clubs? Was there something left in that Rockstar disclosed to avoid being AOed? Perhaps there will be a sex scene? (Mass Effect had a sex scene and it was still given a M rating) I guess we'll find out when TLAD is released for download on the 17th.
