Gamestop certainly have a habit of releasing information before it's public knowledge; call it an advertising blooper or their "don't give a shit" attitude, but it seems like they may have done it again ... this time with the upcoming GTA IV DLC.
They've recently advertised the GTA IV DLC on their site with a price of $19.99 and although the content won't be sold in disc form, they'll be handing out codes with a double sided poster nonetheless

2deftangel posted on Grand Theft Auto IV (Xbox 360) at 2:23PM PST on December 8, 2008. RE: GTA IV DLC Price Inadvertently Leaked?See the thread I posted on the PS3 sku. Strauss Zelnick says GTA:IV has a tie ratio of 28pc on the 360 based on NPD data through October. Using that with the hardware LTD gives you 3.25m LTD for the 360 version in the US
For the PS3 version I extrapolated from there to the EU as well. I'm not sure it's as easy to do for the 360 because Europe's a funny market for them, they've got a big market in the UK and on the continent we don't know who's buying it, the super hardcore EU gamers or what. Anyhow, for kicks you can get another 1.96m to add on if you assume a 7m userbase and the same tie ratio bringing the total LTD seeing as Japan is neglible to approx 5.2m
Adding both SKU's together gives you 9.25m or so. Not far off the sort of figures we got out of Take 2.
I think the 360 SKU will have longer legs and get decent boosts from the DLC. Enough to get 9m as TSE currently predicts? I don't know but I don't have a position in this. (I do in the PS3 SKU)[ Oracle ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 291 ]bids

Pachter reckons the 360 SKU has sold 7m. That's a lot higher than I thought. Last I heard from Take 2 was 9.5m? I thought we'd have heard when it got to 10m. That's a massive differential between this and the PS3 version on that basis.
