GRAPEVINE, Texas, Aug 19, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) --

GameStop Corp. (NYSE: GME) announced today that the final Xbox Live Summer of Arcade game - LaraCroft and the Guardian of Light - is now available for purchase in the company's new Downloadable Content Centers now found in all of its more than 4,400 stores nationwide.

Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light is the first full-length DLC game to be sold by all U.S. GameStop locations. This action/adventure game features Lara Croft in a new adventure combining popular hallmarks of the Tomb Raider franchise such as exploration and discovery, platforming, puzzle solving combined with character progression, fast-paced combat, and elements of human cooperation and competition.

The addition of Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light coincides with the completion of GameStop's in-store rollout of Downloadable Content (DLC) Centers throughout the country. Currently more than 45 different DLC SKUs, including game add-on content such as extra game maps and new levels, full games and arcade titles, are available at the GameStop DLC Centers.

"The beauty of our DLC Centers is in the convenience and options it offers our customers when they are looking to purchase add-on packs or full-length DLC content of top-selling titles for console games or popular Xbox Live games," said GameStop President Tony Bartel. "Customers pay only for the specific content they want, such as $14.99 for the Lara Croft game, rather than buying bulk points they don't immediately need and will subsequently have to manage. Also, customers can pay for DLC with any form of payment we accept, including cash, credit or even trade credits."

Customers can visit GameStop's DLC Center in any store to see the catalog of additional Xbox Live content that's available for purchase. Orders are placed at the register, and customers are given a code printed on their receipt along with instructions on how to download the digital content to their consoles.
