For those faithful and long suffering PS3 owners who have been missing out on the GTAIV expansions this past year, your suffering is at an end. This Thursday both The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony are available to buy in regular stone age disc format and download from the PSN (which rumour has it may be a cheaper option).

The Episodes are well worth the investment and expand on the original game in a big way with new weapons, vehicles, mini games, radio stations and tracks and multiplayer options in both episodes. Not to mention a lengthy single player campaign for both stories following two very different characters than our favourite east european hitman by circumstance Nico. The Episodes are also being released this Thursday for PC.
