It seems the Internet doesn’t like GameStop<\/A> too much, so I’m not sure how this story will be received. The retailer announced at a conference in New York yesterday that it will launch some sort of in-store DLC service<\/A> next year. That is, let’s say you buy Game<\/i>, then immediately buy related DLC from inside the store via a special interface. (GameStop worked with both Sony and Microsoft to figure all this out.) Then, when you get home, the DLC is ready to be added to your game.<\/p>\n

It’s merely a convenience thing, as, come on, who has time to buy a game at the store, go home, navigate Xbox Live or PSN, then download and apply the DLC? <\/p>\n

GameStop’s COO gave a specific example:<\/p>\n

\n

\nIf you love X-Men Origins: Wolverine<\/i>, imagine being able to take home the physical copy at launch, plus have a few costumes and villains sent to your PS3 waiting for you when you get home.\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

No, this isn’t going to totally change the way you live your life, but it should be useful to those of you who, gasp, still buy things at a retail store.<\/p>\n
