I came across this article
http://megagames.com/news/microsoft-charges-developers-usd-40000-xbox-360-game-patch

It looks like it cost 40k to submit a patch to be certified.

I also came across this http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/2009/03/20/sony-now-charging-publishers-for-ps3-downloadable-content/

Sony charges 16 cents per GB downloaded content through PSN.

So if TWD update is 1GB exact and downloaded by 1 million customers the cost to TTG is 160,000 for the content downloaded over PSN.

Thought it was just a interesting fact.

    So then I wonder if it would be more cost efficient to release the entire game at once?

    When it's all said and done they are looking at roughly 200,000 just for the x-box.
