Free XBL coming for GTA IV: The Lost and Damned downloaders

I knew that Microsoft didnot just pay all that money for a download that would be available for all versions of the game. I guess xbox360 owners will be able to enjoy more of GTA, Oops.... as for me i sold my GTA long time ago. It got boring after the first 2 weeks. LOL I wonder how many people will have to buy the downloadable game for Microsoft to make a profit off the 50 million they spent on this crap.

I like the how this article is titled.

The Lost and Damned downloaders is what i think every time XBL goes down for hours.

Gold should be free anyway....

really? weird i have had live for over a year and other than scheduled maintenance i have only experienced 1 outage and that lasted around an hour. not a fanboy just a fact.
now on to what this article is about.
i think ms made a big mistake paying that much for exclusive content they will have to sell 2.5 million copies just to recoup. that's gonna be hard to do specially since so many people abandoned gta4 after they finished it and traded it in.

well 160 XBL Points cost Aprox. $20 (depending where you get them) so:


50,000,000/20=2,500,000

50 Million
Divided by
20
=
2.5 million

that would be the break even point! I am sure that FREE XBL for a week has a price on their servers & upgrades but i am sure they are hoping a certain % or new users of Purchased XBL service just to use the online content after that week!

I think he mean 1,600.

It was a joke people, i know that it hasn't been down for a while, but you all are hot to jump in the flames.

its just when it does happen thats what i think.

Perhaps if you're states side but not all countries have the same exchange rate,how much you pay & whether it's a rip off is relative anyway,the more hours you game the more you get you're money's worth,tho personally there ought'a be a system like prepay mobile phones where you only pay for what you use & as for having to pay for bloody themes,icons etc or maps,they can piss off

WTF are you talking about, it's 50 bucks a year. there is no retail the service comes direct from XBL.

Unless you managed to get the XBL gold 1 year subscription cards for under $10.00 a piece.

i never said direct from xbl

as a matter of fact i managed to get xbox live vision bundles that include the video camera ,200 ms points,2 or 3 (dont remember how many) xbox live games ,wired headset and a year of xbox live for UNDER $10 each :)
even last week a careful shopper could have picked up 1 year card for $30 at bestbuy. deals at $30 for a year are actually commom place now in this tight economy you gotta sniff out the great deals.

---
