Grand Theft Auto IV DLC to be available for Christmas

Published at 9:43 PM PST

The Grand Theft Auto IV Xbox 360 Exclusive Downloadable Content has been causing a stir for months now, when will it be released? Nobody really knows, and it seems that Rockstar and Microsoft are forgetting to memo each-other when the dates change. Original Microsoft stated it would be available around November, then Rockstar said it would take longer and would most likely hit the Xbox store earlier next year, and now Microsoft has said it will be available between those dates, just before Christmas.

It does seem as though Microsoft is pushing Rockstar, and possibly, making announcements of the contents release without first consulting Rockstar. Rockstar and Microsoft need to actively discuss when it could be released, as the constant change in dates is causing many fans to lose interest. From the many Blogs and news articles I have read over the last day, it is apparent that people are not happy with the chopping and changing of dates by either side. Overall, many people believe that Microsoft is taking it upon themselves to announce dates without consultation.

Lets hope we receive a solid release date sometime soon.
