Lost and Damned breaks Live records

It's the fastest-selling DLC ever.

Microsoft has announced the shocking news that the first batch of DLC for Grand Theft Auto IV is massively popular..

Not only is The Lost and Damned "the highest reviewed downloadable content ever", according to a press release, it also "eclipsed first-day revenue for all previous downloadable content on Xbox Live".

There's no word on just how much revenue that amounts to, or how many times The Lost and Damned has been downloaded. Still, it's good to know they've sold an undisclosed number of units greater than all the other undisclosed numbers of units.

The Lost and the Damned is available from Xbox Live now, priced at 1600 Microsoft Points (GBP 13.60 / EUR 19.20). To find out why it's worth the money, read our review.
