Best Buy Outs First L.A. Noire DLC

By Nick Santangelo

Get ready for the excitingly titled 'Nicholson Electroplating Arson Case'. Um, it's probably more fun than it sounds.

 
Joystiq’s got the scoop on the first piece of downloadable content for Rockstar’s crime thriller. Even though L.A. Noire doesn’t even release until midnight tonight, a Best Buy circular has revealed the name and nature of an add-on case. The first 16 customers to purchase the game at participating Best Buy stores will get a code to unlock the content for free “when it releases”.

Nothing else is known about the case as of now, but we’re betting Rockstar will respond shortly to this news with an official announcement. Stay tuned to MTB.
