Grand Theft Auto downloads to be 'sold' in shops

Buy a card and then download it

Agentless Backup is Not a Myth

Grand Theft Auto: IV’s upcoming “downloadable content” add-on, The Lost and Damned will also be sold as through stores, sort of.

Online retailer GameStop has created a page offering The Lost and Damned for sale through an Xbox Live Marketplace token card, which contains a unique code to purchase the add-on over Live Marketplace.

A physical disc containing the GTA: IV add-on won’t be included in the pack, but gamers will be required to have an existing Xbox Live account.

Unfortunately, the announcement doesn’t indicate if the add-on will appear for the PlayStation 3.

GTA: The Lost and Damned will be available to buy online from 17 February next year, priced at $20 (£12/€15).

Customer Success Testimonial: Recovery is Everything

Latest Comments

Coming to PS3 too apparently.,

Disc only for PS3, which gets round the Microsoft Exclusive DOWNLOADABLE content.

Looks like Microsoft's money was not enough to secure proper exclusivity.
