    Battlefield wins it this week. Though premium members already had it.

    Looks like "The Star Gazer" for Kinect Party has already been removed. Their mistakes? Glad I got it early.
    Also did anyone else notice the size of the Wheel of Fortune add-on? 400MSP for 124 KB. Seems to be another unlock code for on-disk content. For shame.

    Wow, that's a lot of terrible Fable DLC, we can't just play the game to get those abilities oh no, lets just pay money to unlock them right away.

    Same with Medal of Honor with it's "shortcut" pack, sigh...

    God knows how much I hate actually playing video games.

    The game is only like 600mb, and the dlc is really just text (same with jeopardy)...seriously doubt it was on the disc...or that anyone would purchase either dlc without new achvs!
    Killer Punks...all that needs to be said.

    So have I missed something or is the MOH map pack 800msp for two maps? Yeah and people complained that the COD map packs were expensive :/

    The Jeopardy DLC is 51.5 MB, but the Wheel of Fortune DLC is only 124 KB. Note: KILO. That's an unlock code. Remember the Bioshock 2 fiasco (and others since then). I do.

    Anyway, it doesn't really matter. Like you said, no one (including me) will probably get it. It was just an observation.

    Didn't realize the Jeopardy pack was actually normal sized...The wheel dlc may have been on the disc, but with the lack of animations and what the content is (a few hundred phrases categorized in a couple of genres), it very well may be only a few kb of compressed data. Both games were obviously rushed by THQs financial predicament, so anything is possible.





    Might want to mention that the moh pack is free to just about everyone who purchased the game...has anyone seen a copy that ISN'T the limited edition? I guess its only 800 if you got it used or rented it.
    Killer Punks...all that needs to be said.

    I'm really glad to see that Sniper Elite v2 gets THAT much optional support, it's a great game apart from the fact that it's lacking too many X-ray moments.

    The Sleeping Dogs add-on doesn't have achievements? That's too bad.

    I picked up the Horizon Rally Expansion & all of the Resident Evil 6 modes. I already had Aftermath, which is awesome by the way.

    I might be senile and all, but I'm beginning to wonder when it mentions having updates in the marketplace.

    "MEDAL OF HONOR™ WARFIGHTER MULTIPLAYER UPDATE" - FREE
    This Medal of Honor™ Warfighter update contains improvements to the multiplayer portions of the game. We strongly advise you download it. This update is required to play the Zero Dark Thirty content.
    I mean, sure, it says FREE for now. But it might be a sign that at some point, developers just might feel a need to charge MSP to get updates. Then again, I AM crazy. Or was it senile? I forget.

    If they start charging for updates (which is blatant theft) then ill just wait until the game decreases to half price and all DLC & updates have been released and on sale. I don't need new games that badly.

    The free multiplayer updates enable those without paid dlc to play with those with paid for dlc. They will never charge for these.

    Yep every game has to jump on the DLC spam train, best part is that you don't have to buy it. Miss the train and you won't miss much.

    Picked up "The Scorchers" DLC for Rage today, it's pretty good considering the price. Little disappointed about having to play through it again for one of the achievements seeing how I've already beaten twice now but....oh well.
