The first installment of downloadable content for Grand Theft Auto IV on Xbox 360 will be a full extra "episode," and is set to hit in the first fiscal quarter of 2009, Take-Two CEO Ben Feder revealed on the company's call to investors today. Take-Two's fiscal Q1 starts in November.

Feder declined to provide any further details, but now we know the DLC is forthcoming for Xbox 360. No mention was made of PS3 DLC.

"The 2009 release of this highly anticipated episode will provide better balance among top titles," said Feder. When questioned by an analyst, Feder said, "The reason we moved it is more about portfolio balance than anything else... the delay is not about development issues."

$50 million well spent

However, it has to be more than just a few side missions if they have to delay it amirite

Good thing I'm selling this piece of shit.

[Beezy]

Good luck getting people to keep the game for that long.

[Great Rumbler]

After playing the main part of GTAIV, I can't say that I'm really anticipating a DLC all that much...

[AdmiralViscen]

Now that I know what's in the package, I think I'd actually prefer it if the DLC was just a bunch of side missions and shops that flesh the world out instead of more story or even a new island.

Scared by the saints row video

Good luck getting people to keep the game for that long.

good point, but a lot of shitheads out there are convinced that GTAIV is actually good. fuk morans

[siamesedreamer]

Fiscal quarter.....

[Himu]

i don't even care anymore

[chronovore]

They'd have to pull a Lost Planet to get me to buy it again.

What's that mean?

[Kestastrophe]

I'll only be interested if this comes out before SR2, otherwise I will be busy sandboxing in the superior game.

[Rman]

How distinguished mentally-challenged.  What momentum will GTA4 have in 2009? 

[Rman]

Everybody on EB says its a shit game after all.

Waste of fucking money, Microsoft. You'd better secure CoD5&6 as a platform exclusive, dumb fucks.

50 Million is pennies to Microsoft anyway.  They'll make their money back easily.

while a 50 million to sony, means canceling 2 full games *not a DLC* buwahahaha
