But he can't tell us. Boo.

Microsoft's UK head of gaming and entertainment Stephen McGill knows when the hotly anticipated Xbox 360 exclusive downloadable content is going to be released.

Speaking to VideoGamer.com in an interview to be published next week, McGill revealed that Rockstar has said it will be out in its next quarter, which runs from November to the end of January, but stopped short of revealing the exact date.

We've heard very little about the first of the two confirmed Xbox 360 exclusive GTA 4 downloadable episodes so far, especially in terms of what kind of gameplay we can expect.

In mid-September Microsoft sent out a press release that said the first of the 360 exclusive DLC episodes would be out in time for Christmas, although Rockstar is itself yet to confirm that.

When asked for clarification, McGill replied: "Rockstar has said it's in their next quarter, which runs from November to the end of January. It's obviously Rockstar's product so I will refer you to them to find out when they're ready to start talking more about it. I obviously know, I'm very excited. So, yeah. Talk to them."

We tried to squeeze some info out of McGill regarding perhaps the most anticipated DLC of all time, but all we could get was: "What little I know I can't even share with you or your readers. I'm very happy, so that's all I'm going to say. Rockstar are amazing developers, GTA is an amazing franchise. I think they'll do their franchise proud."
