ESRB: Tomb Raider Anniversary bound for 360, possibly as DLC

More interestingly, each entry specifies a locale featured within the Crystal Dynamics remake. Peru, Lost City, Greece, Egypt and Croft Manor are all listed and rated, leading us to conclude that Anniversary could very well be making its way to Microsoft's system as downloadable content. Whether it would be offered as downloadable content for Tomb Raider: Legend (which utilizes the same graphics engine as Anniversary) or as episodic titles on the Xbox Live Marketplace is a matter of pure speculation. Certainly, a cost of $5 per level would compare well to the $30 PS2 and PC versions released yesterday.

Ludwig, I wish I could think as optimistically as you.
It'd be a long shot for this to be downloadable instead of a $50-60 cash grab.

It is DLC, for Tomb Raider Legend. They're planning on releasing Croft Manor for free, and the rest of the levels will release in two parts. I don't know anything about pricing yet, but the rest is solid, I assure you. It's being released as DLC for Legend to reuse assets from the disc, and Crystal Dynamics is planning on releasing a special edition of Legend that includes the Anniversary content.

Why!? Why!? Why!?
You run through CAVES and shoot ANIMALS! That is not fun! This is not Deer F*cking Hunter! Why do people like Tomb Raider!? The only thing fun in the game is swan diving onto solid rock, hoping you won't have to play the stupid game anymore.
