To allow as many people as possible to experience the new content, Microsoft will allow even the riff-raff of non Gold Xbox LIVE members, access to the multiplayer portion of the game. The following (Microsoft Australia) press release can explain further: Starting Wednesday, February 18 at 4:00am (Australian EST), the Xbox LIVE multiplayer service, usually reserved for Xbox LIVE Gold members, will be accessible to all LIVE members while playing Grand Theft Auto IV or The Lost and Damned -- the first exclusive downloadable expansion episode on Xbox 360. This limited, Grand Theft Auto multiplayer promotion is applicable only to players of either Grand Theft Auto IV or The Lost and Damned expansion episode, and will end on Sunday, February 23 (6:59pm AEST). Be a part of this unprecedented event and join the legions of Grand Theft Auto fans across the world to wreak havoc upon Liberty City. To help gamers get the most from their multiplayer access, Rockstar Games and Xbox LIVE are putting on a week of special events with the chance to take on Hip Hop DJ and producer, Statik Selektah in a special ‘Game with Fame’ event and even take on the people behind the Grand Theft Auto franchise in a ‘Game with Rockstar’ multiplayer event. Sweepstake promotions and an ‘Xbox All Nighter’ will also be part of the week of activities, full details and eligibility can be found at www.xbox.com/lostanddamnedliveweek. Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned will be available for download exclusively through Xbox LIVE beginning February 17 for 1600 Microsoft Points. Tokens will also be available at retail through GAME and JB Hi-Fi for AU$34.95 RRP. “Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned” is the first exclusive downloadable add-on episode from Rockstar Games, extending the “Grand Theft Auto IV” saga for Xbox 360 owners as they take control of Johnny Klebitz to complete missions around the streets of Liberty City. If you’re not already a member of Xbox LIVE, now is the time to join. |
