There won't be any. At least if there is, it won't be the same as the one on the 360. Or Microsoft gets its money back.

I'm not booking any appointments that Tuesday through Friday, so I'll probably be in for plenty of MP.

The DLC will definitely be Microsoft exclusive, they paid a few million for it.

Well I don't think it's going to be out until maybe next fall, but I'll bet it'll be at least $15-20 if it's as much content as they mentioned it would be.

I would probably look at the Oblivion DLC as a clue to how expansive/expensive the DLC will be.

I won a $50 gift certificate to Amazon last night, so I bit and pre-ordered the special edition today.

Question for you pre-ordering people (my first one!) - Do they ship it so you get it on release day? Or will I be waiting a week?

And yeah, I chose super-saver shipping.

Sonofastu...I bought mine from Amazon as well and used the free shipping option. I expect to receive it a few days after the release date (which doesn't bother me but may bother those who HAVE to have it on release day).

Agreed. It wouldn't bother me the least bit either. Just wondering.

Don't know if any one cares but it was reported on CAG that the free license plate from Amazon is "metal and full size like you would put on your car. It was a special package that the store got."

Sounds cool.

If the DLC is along the lines of Oblivion, I will be disappointed. I wasn't impressed with any of the DLC outside of Shivering Isles.

I was all set to take some time and really dive into this game. Now my wife picked the days right around release to take a trip. I didn't want to tell her that I would rather stay at home and play this because I had the release of Halo 3 cut our last vacation a bit short. I just made sure I helped plan the trip so I could do some stuff to take my mind off the fact that I won't be playing this game as soon as the rest of you.

He's finished GTA IV (and MGS4)!
spoilers abound.

his final stat: 45 hours to complete 60% of the game.

With such a long single player game and a very promising multiplayer game, this will probably end up being the best bang for your gaming buck ever...at least for me.

If its like the others getting 100% involves finding secret packages and completing all the taxi, ambulance, fire truck, pizza delivery, police missions etc. So most likely it took him 45 hours to finish the story missions.

Good God I am so ready to play this game.

I just finished Bully on the 360 which was fun, but dammit I need to actually kill people!

I will be looking for the first spot I can find where I can snipe people yet the police can't get to me. That's always the best remedy for failing a mission.
