Over the past few months, we've been hearing all kinds of conflicting reports regarding the Xbox 360 exclusive Grand Theft Auto IV downloadable content and its release date. All of which has led us to question whether the DLC will release later this Fall, sometime next Spring or later in 2009.Thankfully, Eurogamer had a chance to chat with "sources close to Rockstar North" and learned that the DLC is still on track to release sometime this November. Just as Microsoft promised. Sadly, we are still in the dark regarding what will be included in the DLC or its pricing, but seeing that MS reportedly spent $50 million on it, we doubt it'll be cheap. We're starting our own rumor based on our own speculation which is based on absolutely no facts and predict that the GTAIV DLC will end up costing a whopping 1600 Microsoft points. Tell your friends, you heard it here first!

I'd agree with your speculation. 1600 points sounds about right. I'll have no problem giving them my space bucks.

I may in the minority here.. but I'm kinda over this game.
I own and beat the game, but the controls/camera are broken and online is not fun.
Doubt I'll be buying.

I agree with you. I've already traded my copy away.

One of the more boring and frustrating games I've ever played. Playing it felt like a chore.

Hah, you traded it in? Waste of money.

I think this is going to cost around 2000 ms points... maybe even higher... this is going to be apart of the new price point of XBLA 'games'.
I AM NOT HAPPY

How much was Oblivion's Shivering Isles expansion? 2400 space bucks? I wouldn't be suprised if we'll seeing prices like that for a solid 10 hours of content.
Mind you, the page for Shivering Isles on Xbox.com reckons that it contains 30 hours of gameplay, so make of that what you will.

I think it was $30, so whatever that comes out to.

As for Chester's comment on the Top 10 on Xbox Live... GTA IV was supposed to be the Game of the Century and it's in the #3 spot behind two games that are going on a year old... That's sad. That's very, very sad.
Or, it speaks very highly of CoD and Halo.

Good Point! KINDA?
Those two games are HEAVILY based on online multiplayer. I wouldnt consider that for GTAIV! That is seriously apples and oranges IMO!

I've had the game since the second day it was out and I still haven't had enough interest to beat it. Easily one of the most overrated games ever.
This content better be good or Microsoft is going to look stupid.

Yeah, 1600 sounds about right. If the rumors are true that this is a whole new city like San Andreas was for GTA3, I would pay 2400 or more for it!

I wonder how much, if at all, the Island update to Burnout will be. I wonder also how much it has cost Criterion to release its Cagney and Bikes updates for free, and why GTA4, which must have sold significantly more than Burnout Paradise, will charge. Maybe it's apples and oranges, maybe EA can cover Criterion's development costs more than Take Two, maybe online content is more of a draw for potential BP buyers than GTA4. Anyone have any thoughts about Liberty City versus Paradise City?

Why so much hate for gtaiv in the comments? Id like to see a game these people actually consider good. Because gtaiv is as good as these games get.

Try any of the Ubisoft games. Especially the Tom Clancy titles. Those are good games. It's much easier to control Sam Fisher from a 2006 game than it is to control Niko in a 2008 game.
And of course, CoD4 is the true Game of the Century.
Oblivion is another completely awesome game.
There's some resentment toward GTA IV because the critics creamed their drawers over the game and it just did not live up to it's potential.

Hey Rockstar, if you are reading this give me pilot-able airplanes like those jets at the airport, some cessna's and some sea planes then will talk about giving you my space bucks.
