Rockstar confirmed that 'The Ballad of Gay Tony' -- the new DLC for GTA IV -- will be released on October 29, which is nice. The DLC is going to be available for $19.99 (1600 Microsoft points) and will require a copy of Grand Theft Auto IV and an Xbox Live membership.

“Liberty City is the most vibrant game world we’ve created yet. The episodic structure has allowed us to interweave stories, gameplay and atmosphere in a whole new way,” said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games.

“The team at Rockstar North have yet again surpassed themselves, and made something that is both epic and very innovative. This episode’s focus on high-end night life contrasts with the biker gangs portrayed in The Lost and Damned, whilst giving us a lot of new gameplay possibilities.”
