Gamestop starts to sell DLC via in store

Gamestop, the biggest game retailer in US plans to start selling DLC in store next year. The mechanism will more or less the same with Dragon Age: Origins, the clerk will ask customers whether they want to buy DLC. When they do, it will be available when they got home.
We all know that Gamestop considered digital distribution a serious matter, and started investing in those area. And DLC is one of the first step.
Indeed this will not give you a value added whatsoever. If the price of DLC is the same between Gamestop stores and buying off from network, then what is the difference? You still have to download when you got home, and it is just a click away from buying from your console.
However, if the purpose is to gain presence in digital distribution, then Gamestop step is a step in a right direction.
