Set in New York, Rockstar is bringing its open-ended crime series to the next-gen consoles with Grand Theft Auto IV, situated around mysterious protagonist Nikolai. Rockstar's Jeronimo Barrera revealed that the PS3 will also get downloadable content, according to the latest PlayStation World Magazine, but no further details were revealed. Speculations are that this will either be the same DLC material as the Xbox 360 but after the "timed" exclusivity period runs out, or something new tied in with Sony's HOME community in terms of unlockable goodies, such as outfits, posters, or invite friends to watch replays inside your HOME-theater, before you head off to some co-op fun.
