GTA IV 360 episodes in "fall"

Microsoft has revealed that the Grand Theft Auto IV downloadable content it has signed up for 360 will be released in the autumn.

"On April 29th we're thrilled to have Grand Theft Auto IV from Rockstar Games on our platform from day one," John Schappert said during his GDC keynote address at the Moscone Center in San Francisco today.

"Along with downloadable exclusive episodes...starting fall 2008."

Two episodes have been mentioned so far, while it's been widely rumoured and half-confirmed that Microsoft paid Rockstar millions for the privilege of enjoying them exclusively.

GTA IV launches, as John says, on 29th April worldwide - for 360 and PS3.
