Analyst Todd Mitchell, who works for Kaufman Bros. Equity Research, told GamesIndustry.biz that he fully expects Rockstar Games and Take Two Interactive to release two new GTA IV epsiodes for the year of 2010.
Mitchell had this to say: "I would expect that there would be two more pieces of downloadable content for GTA IV, that's what has been indicated to me, although formats are unsure. It's been indicated to me that would be the case."
Although the formats are unsure at this time, it looks like the DLC will be released for both the PS3 and 360.
Mitchell also stated that he expects Rockstar and Take Two to release GTA IV by 2011. After the release of GTA V, Take Two is expected to put its efforts into a different game franchise, so it does not become dependent on one game series.
More GTA is always a good thing and The Lost and Damned was a great add-on when it was launched. Don't forget, the next GTA IV episode, The Ballad of Gay Tony, will be released exclusively on the 360, this fall.
If you decide on buying a game through Steam, you should first check if you really want to pay the price. People in Europe usually have to pay more for games than people in the US.
Europe is divided into three groups:
Group 1: Albania, Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Netherlands, Sweden and Switzerland Group 2: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Malta, Monaco, Montenegro, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, San Marino, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain and the Vatican City Group 3: Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania
Now let's take a look at Team Fortress 2 and what these groups pay for it:
Group 1: €19,99 (=$28)
Group 2: €14,99 (=$21)
Group 3: €11,99 (=$17)
UK: £13,99 (=$23)
US: $19,99
As you can see, Europe group 1 pays the most, nearly 1/3th more than the US. There are a lot more examples of this. Let's look at one more, Left 4 Dead:
Group 1: €29,99 (=$42)
Group 2: €22,99 (=$32)
Group 3: €17,99 (=$25)
UK: £26.99 (=$44)
US: $39.99
This time the UK pays the most while group 3 pays the least.
Just a reminder that before buying a game or a deal on Steam, check if it's really such a good deal because they tend to let people from different parts of the world, pay more for the same product.

Earlier today the guys over at GeekSmack.net "confirmed" that Windows 7 was set to RTM(release to manufacturing) on July 13, which also coincides with Wzor's unconfirmed rumor last month. A few minutes ago sources close to the company, who wish to remain anonymous, have confirmed to Neowin that Windows 7 is indeed set to RTM on July 13.
After a year of furious beta testing and continuous leaks every other week, Microsoft is finally ready to give Windows 7 the green light to hit the market. Currently the Windows 7 team is working on polishing off the RTM build so that no show-stopper bugs are present in Windows 7. The date, July 13, also coincides with the kickoff of the Worldwide Partner Conference that is taking place in New Orleans.
Note: Don't confuse RTM and GA(General Availability), as these are two totally different phases. RTM in a nutshell is typically the final build that we will see when Windows 7 hits GA later this year (Unless, of course, there's a show-stopper bug found), but is released to manufacturers so they can work out any bugs the software may encounter with hardware devices. General availability is scheduled to launch on October 22, which will give the tech savvy world time to save up money.
Peel police are seeking the public's help after a truck carrying more than 1,300 Xbox gaming consoles valued at approximately $780,000 was stolen in Mississauga Sunday morning.
Police say four to five suspects dressed in dark clothing entered a trailer yard near Britannia Rd. E and Dixie Rd shortly after 4 a.m. They attacked a security guard who was subsequently dragged under a parked trailer with his hands and feet tied together.
The suspects stole a 16-metre 2007 Air-Ride trailer, bearing the Ontario licence plate C11-47X and trailer identification number 55334. The trailer is black in colour, with "Trans-Send Freight Systems" in silver lettering.
The security guard received minor injuries and is expected to fully recover.
Investigators are warning the public to use caution if they are offered the chance to purchase a new Xbox gaming console under suspicious circumstances. Police warn that anyone found with stolen property could be charged.
Now who wants to buy 1299 360’s?
