Grand Theft Auto IV maybe coming to the Xbox 360 and PS3 at the same time, but Microsoft managed to finagle some interesting exclusive content in the way of downloadable add-on chapters for the game.

I had heard rumors months ago about Rockstar getting into episodic content, but thought at the time it was for the Playstation Portable. It never dawned on me it might be for the Xbox 360.

According to the X06 announcement today, the content will become available "months" after the launch of the full game. Each will include "hours of entirely new gameplay" and both will be exclusive to the Xbox 360 via Xbox Live.

The full game hits North American on Oct. 16 and Europe on Oct. 19. No release date or price has been announced yet for the episodes. Brian Crecente
