GTA IV DLC coming late November?

GTA IV DLC coming late November?

Eurogamer has some sources close to Rockstar North who are spreading the word that the highly anticipated downloadable content for Grand Theft Auto IV is heading to gamers in late November, bringing with it an extra ten hours of gameplay.
The content remains exclusive to the Xbox 360, and apparently both batches of downloadable content will add ten hours each, as well as bringing two new sets of Achievements. There’s still no word on what will be included in the first package, but many hope new cities will be added with a whole new mission set.

There’s still no word from Rockstar or Microsoft about when we will definitely see the first content, which was originally speculated to arrive in the Fall. Rockstar had previously stated to expect the content between November 2008 and January 2009, so a late November release would make for a lovely, early Christmas present.
