The downloadable expansions for Grand Theft Auto IV are now available on PC (via Games for Windows Live) and PlayStation 3 (via PlayStation Store), as promised.

The two expansions for Grand Theft Auto IV hit PC and PlayStation 3 on April 13, leading developer Rockstar to celebrate the only way it knows how: with a brand new trailer.

As with their earlier Xbox 360 debut, "The Lost and Damned" and "The Ballad of Gay Tony" will be available to existing Grand Theft Auto IV owners as premium-priced downloadable content.

Originally intended to hit the PlayStation 3 and PC this month, Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City will be delayed "due to a request by Sony Europe to make some minor content changes to the PAL PS3 version of the game," according to a Rockstar Games representative.

The set, which includes the previously-Xbox 360 exclusive GTA IV: The Lost & Damned and GTA IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony, will now be released on April 13th in North America and on April 16th elsewhere. Read more »
