Oh forgot to mention, go away song packs. I try to look through recently released DLC on live but often give up because of the sheer number of song releases there are on there. it should have it's own separate place

There is also a Master Level Pack for Rhythm Party that is FREE!

As for the Wasteland Sewer Mission, I believe that was available for purchase on Day 1.

Whether people care about the DLC or not is irrelevant.Dunno. I kind of agree. Pretend for a moment that the Sims came out with 10 or so DLC packs every week.

Yes it's DLC but if it costs a single extra click to get to song DLC vs. scrolling endlessly to find any genre BUT song DLC, I think it makes sense to do the former.

In fact, I don't go into the marketplace to see what's in there any more unless I know exactly what I'm looking for.

The Rage DLC isn't so shocking but didn't the Anarchy Edition come as a free pre order upgrade or did you have to pay more to get the extras?
Quantum Binman - Wow,EPIC fucked up again. Double lancer loadouts and no achievements linked to xbox.com

Although I do agree that the RBN songs are annoying. They used to only appear in the RB marketplace. I don't know why they changed it.

Whether people care about the DLC or not is irrelevant.I figured he was talking about navigating a game's dlc in the 360 menus, which has been a pet peeve of mine. Whenever a list of items is so long that it doesn't fit on one screen, you are periodically waiting for the next few items to load as you scroll down. What makes it worse is that dlc is usually one big list, with no separation of game-addons, avatar items, trailers, etc, so you are forced to wade through everything. They should either make the entire list load at once or allow you to filter/organize by type of dlc.
