    Blimey, a whole third? That's impressive.

    But it won't mean anything if the missions are as poor and repetitive as those in the main game.

      Yeah, except for the fact the main missions weren't repetitive. No more so than previous GTA games.

    Achievement list for anyone who wants to see it:

    Get Good Wood – 50G: In the Bike Races, whack off 69 bikers with a bat.
    Easy Rider – 100G: Finish The Story
    Full Chat – 70G: Your backup are riding at their best!
    The Lost Boy – 25G: All hail the leader of The Lost!
    One Percenter – 5G: Billy is back on his bike.

    While this is cool, $20 for only a third of the full games accumulative missions, i mean thats just under half the price of the full game and all you are getting is missions, there is no new map or anything. It should be much cheaper for something that is essentially a mission add on pack. So where as you paid $60 for the full game with 90 missions, a whole new world and everything you pay $20 for a third of that so like 20 missions and nothing more. Seems a bit of a waste of money to me.

      Yeah I'd agree it's a bit much, but I bet M$ wanted to get some cash back. They did put down $50 million or so for this content, and that's just an advance.

        Either way, I'm not paying $20 bucks to play as some bikers. I would be pissed if I had been waiting for this. I'll be busy enough next month anyway.

    I'm going to get it. I like the idea of playing as one of the Lost. I'm a little miffed though, because I played through the story missions already on the PS3. I would have liked to have played on with the PS3. Why is this story connected to the PS3?

      When you click on a game it automatically checks off all the systems it is on. I don't think I have ever remembered to unclick any of the boxes for any story I have submitted, my apologies

        No worries mate. As long as the fans of each system is OK with it. It may disappoint some PS3 owners or it might make them feel better. Who knows? Either way no worries mate, I was just curious.

    Bit pricey, but I would still buy it if it was double that. I loved GTA IV and would like to have an excuse to delve into it again.

    Getting this might give my copy of GTA another use besides being an expensive frisbee.
