GTA IV DLC still on for autumn

Microsoft reassures fans that episodes still on track for original release window

GTA IV fans, breathe easy: Microsoft has confirmed that its exclusive downloadable content for the all-conquering Rockstar title is still on track for an autumn release.

In a statement to preview its Leipzig Game Convention line up, the platform holder said:

“In autumn there will be news from Liberty City; the first episodes of GTA IV will be available for download exclusively on Xbox LIVE, underlining Xbox 360’s leadership role in the field of digital entertainment.”

It is rumoured that Microsoft paid Rockstar in excess of £50 million for the exclusive rights to the DLC.

erm....so what date is it coming if it's set in stone. "Still on track for Autumn..." seems rather vague.

It was $50,000000 US not the same as UK pounds, which is only half that at current exchange rates.

Yeah so about £25m, I mean that's a shed load of money, but it's going to probably sell for 1200 MS points, So what's that? Around £8-£10? I guarantee MS will make there money back on it.

who cares, had GTAIV on ps3 & sold it while i could still get my money back. IMHO MGS4 is the much better game. After playing thru metalgear I went back to COD4 a much better player for some reason.

Judging by the pre-owned copies lining the shelves it looks like some gamers have already ran out of patience!
