In Japan, Sega gave away eight weeks worth of free DLC following the launch of Yakuza 3. However, it looks like Sega has something different planned for its upcoming US release. A new GameStop listing spotted by VG247 promotes an exclusive "Challenge Pack." According to the retailer, this Pack adds a variety of two player mini-games, including pool, darts, bowling and golf. In addition, there are special outfits for Haruka, Kazuma and Rikiya to wear -- all content that was originally released for free in Japan.
We're hoping this GameStop exclusive DLC won't stay exclusive for too long. inFamous' Gigawatt Blades also started as a GameStop exclusive, only to appear on the PlayStation Store for free a few months later. However, for those looking for the "complete" Yakuza 3 experience as soon as possible, it seems a trip to GameStop is necessary. At least the store is offering a $5 discount on the game.

A man in a gimp suit and a 14 year old girl... Somehow I think I could have guessed where this game was made without knowing the name

WWE Smackdown Vs Raw 2010's Stone Cold Steve Austin DLC, you know the one that came out on the PSN and XBL yesterday and Wednesday respectively, also started out as a GS exclusive. But no one would know that on this site...

Did I read that right?
Are they offering a $5 discount and dlc if you pre-order?
That's actually reasonable.
Next thing you know they'll be selling used games for up to $5 less than the new copy.

Seriously I've been waiting for this for awhile. Downloaded the demo from the Japanese store and was blown away by the graphics and fighting engine. I couldn't understand a word of what was going on but it was awesome. The writing in the first two games is phenomenal. Seriously underrated series. I hate lame stop as much as the next person but they had a promo code "DEALTASTIC" that gave you 7 bucks off and free ground shipping (expires today). So since they already had the game @ 54.95 you do the math. The unfortunate thing is Sega wasn't going to bring this game to the U.S. due to lackluster sales of Yakuza 2 (I think it's because it was released on PS2 instead of 3). Yakuza 4 is releasing on March 18th in Japan. If 3 doesn't sell we'll never see 4. So good job on the screen shot Joystiq way to turn people off. As if Sega didn't shoot themselves in the foot by releasing it on the same day as FFXIII around God of war III and Heavy Rain time. Honestly people pick up the first two give em a shot. Go watch a few trailers for 3 and judge for yourself. It's one of the highest rated PS3 games in Japan for a reason.

I was already considering ti anyways, the only thing that would have stopped me would have been maybe the length of the game, but I am a huge fan of Tenacious D so yeah this really is icing on the cake and seals the deal for me.
