Tell me about the stuff inside

Edit: Arriving a day late we have DLC for a seventh game, but again it doesn't carry achievements and is exclusive to Europe.

Arcana Heart 3
• "Arcana Heart 3: Additional Character Colours for All 23 Characters" - 400 MSP

Original Story:

This week sees six games releasing DLC, but one is region exclusive and none have achievements. Here is the full list for this week with download links in the prices:

Champion Jockey G1 Jockey & Gallop Racer (Europe only)
• "Music Pack 3 (Sound Director's selection)" - 160 MSP
Third batch of race BGM. 4 tracks from the Gallop Racer series with 1 new BGM selected by the Gallop Racer Sound Director.Dead Rising 2: Off The Record
• "DR2: OTR Support Pack" - FREE
This support pack is required to play co-op with other users who have purchased downloadable content for Dead Rising 2: Off The Record. Just as an aside, this is the only DLC for this game that has been released onto the Marketplace

Portal 2
• "Portal 2: Peer Review downloadable content" - FREE
Peer Review is the FREE first DLC for Portal 2, the year's most brain-bending action-adventure game. Featuring a devious new co-op track that continues the story of Atlas, Peabody and GLaDOS, the DLC also includes both single and multiplayer challenge modes, plus leaderboards so you can compare your portal placement and time scores with the Portal community.RAGE
• "Wasteland Sewer Missions" - 800 MSP
From under the dry, cracked surface of the Wasteland a foul stench seeps forth. A vast network of long abandoned sewers echo with the screams of horrified victims, and townsfolk are starting to talk. Word of mutants has spread like wildfire and now the settlers of the Wasteland fear for their lives. Are you ready to face the danger that lurks in the labyrinth of sewers? Many have tried, and their spoils lay waiting for a brave adventurer, like you, willing to risk life and limb for the promise of fame and fortune. But, beware; mutants of all shapes and sizes await you, ready to fight to your death. This RAGE Add-on content is included in all new copies of the game sold at retail. If you have purchased a new retail copy of RAGE, please do not purchase this content as you will be charged again.Rock Band 3 - more details in Friday's post
• "Limp Bizkit Pack 01" - 560 MSP
• "My Way - Limp Bizkit" - 160 MSP
• "Gold Cobra - Limp Bizkit" - 160 MSP
• "Re-arranged - Limp Bizkit" - 160 MSP
• "Nookie - Limp Bizkit" - 160 MSP

Yoostar 2: In The Movies
• "Tell me about the stuff inside" - 160 MSP
Rocky Balboa - ROLE 1: Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) ROLE 2: Paulie (Burt Young) The two friends shiver in the icy slaughterhouse. Paulie asks Rocky about the stuff inside - if he's mad that Adrian left him. Rocky's voice cracks as he blurts out that she didn't leave, she died. Paulie raises his palms and says it's OK, it's OK. The boxer weeps: Is it?• "Voodoo economics" - 160 MSP
Ferris Bueller's Day Off - ROLE 1: High school economics teacher (Ben Stein) While Ferris Bueller plays hooky, his high school economics teacher (Ben Stein) gives a lecture about the Great Depression. As he drones on about mind-numbing minutiae, he prompts the class to finish his sentences with appeals to “anyone, anyone” for answers. The students remain indifferent.

However, all of the DLC is definitely on the Xbox.com Marketplace, otherwise I couldn't have got links for you. If you buy the DLC there, your Xbox will automatically download it once you turn it on for the first time.

MH The Rockstar - 1 hour "reveal" that really didn't reveal much. Need more details before I can form an objective opinion.

shouldn't they wait to put up the sewer missions? or are they doing this to try and con money out of people, obviously...seeing if they can trick some gullible idiots.

If it was written by M$ then it's not surprising that it's got inaccuracies in it, but if it was sent to them by Valve it's just plain embarrassing.

The Portal 2 DLC doesn't even show up in the new DLC list on the marketplace tab. If you hadn't mentioned it here, I would have missed it!

as this DLC is needed for some online features of the game, i can only guess they release it before the game itself to make sure it will be available from the start.
