It seems that fans of both South Park and Rock Band on the Xbox 360 will get treated to a nice surprise if they purchase the 11th season of the show on DVD.
The DVD set will include a 3-song download for the Xbox 360 version. There are not many details at the moment, what songs will be included is still a mystery as well as what method will be used to distribute them after the set is purchased. Chances are either a code included with the set, or directly from one of the discs in the set.

Yesterday I posted the sales figures for Grand Theft Auto IV for the first week. Today I received the stats and figures on the Xbox 360 version and it’s interesting. The Xbox 360 version outsold the PS3 version by 60%. Xbox 360 console sales jumped 54% during GTA IV’s launch week retailers reported that 40 percent of those buying the game also bought a new Xbox 360 console. During the first week over 2.3 million gamers played the game on Xbox live and most logged in more than 4 hours per day. GTA IV is now the number one game played on the Xbox 360 and an impressive 12 million achievements equaling over 100 million points have been unlocked by gamers.
It’s been almost a decade since Mike Tyson has been featured in a videogame. Today, EA not only confirmed Fight Night 4 but it will have Mike Tyson in the game. Many questioned the franchise when EA Chicago was closed. The new Fight Night is being developed at EA’s Vancouver studios. Little is known right now but the engine will be overhauled and the game is being made for both the Xbox 360 and the PS3. We will have more on this title and it’s great that they are bringing another one out. As for Mike Tyson being in the game he was a great boxer in the early days and it sounds this will be the focus of his role in the game.
We knew Grand Theft Auto IV would be hot and have an impressive first week. Today, the figures are in the game sold 3.6 million units on opening day which adds up to $310 million in total sales. This smashes the old record and the game went on to sell 6 million during the first week or more than $500 million. It’s true the game was out on two consoles but the sales figures are impressive and GTA IV has set a new all-time entertainment record for the opening day and week.
