GTA IV DLC: Two Weeks!

[krakenslayer]

Ethernet cable? I don't think we've got that ... or is that what plugs into our broadband modem? I've got no idea about such things, I looked at the port on the back of my Xbox, and it didn't look like the right thing for us - our modem plugs into our computer via USB, not ethernet - ergo, not the right connection methinks? Yeah, as Mike said, it looks a lot like a phone cable and plugs from the modem into the PC. If you have an old PC without an ethernet port, modems can also be plugged in via USB (my modem came with both USB and ethernet cables), but ethernet is a lot faster for internet use and has become the standard and I don't think the Xbox can connect to a modem via USB. There's about a 95% chance you've already got an ethernet cable plugged into your PC, just whip it out and plug it into your Xbox. Although you'll need a hard drive to use most of what XBL has to offer.

All this time I've been thinking you had dial-up! Broadband is the only way to connect to XBOX Live. Ethernet cables look similar to phone cables, but bigger, and yes they are what plug into your broadband modem. I don't think your modem is connected via USB? I dunno if computers can get internet via USB. Dial up?! In this day and age?! There's a cable that's like an ethernet looking thing, but smaller, going into the broadband modem, and then from the modem there is a USB cable that goes into the computer. We had our computers hooked up via a router to the internet with ethernet cables at uni, I still have mine and it's certainly bigger than the dainty looking thing round the back of this PC.

anyone know how much the download is gonna cost

[darth los]

anyone know how much the download is gonna cost No word yet but for a game this deep i don't mind shelling the out extra cash for new content. What bothers me is when you have a 5-10 hour campaign and then they have they nerve to charge you for DLC that should have come in the package in the first place, especially considering the base price that they charge for these games.

anyone know how much the download is gonna cost I'm guessing 800 points.

thats $20 for me :/ It looks like I'll just be sticking to the Fallout 3 DLC. Only $10 baby

I was paying off a pre-order yesterday and they had it displayed at GS for $20. I am assume that it could be purchased from a game retailer if you do not have XBL.

guess it depends on personal preference, but if i had to chose one over the other, i think i'd take the dlc for gta over the fallout3 stuff. it may be more expensive, but there's a lot more packed in. http://xboxlive.ign.com/articles/947/947252p1.html or, to make a long read short: "Depending on skill level and amount of time you spend messing around, Rockstar expects The Lost and Damned to take anywhere from 12-20 hours to complete. And that's just the single-player story. For $20 (1,600 MSP), L&D offers a full-fledged campaign, new locations, new mini-games (arm wrestling!), refined gameplay mechanics, new vehicles, new weapons, a hefty new soundtrack, new DJs, new TV shows, new Internet sites, and new multiplayer." well worth the $$ if you're a fan of gta games.
