What's the sound of one bajillion simultaneous downloads? "Ca-ching," maybe? This week, the most expensive -- what'd exclusivity cost ya, Microsoft? -- and, dare we add, most hyped downloadable console game expansion of all time (a relatively short time), GTA IV: The Lost and Damned, hits Xbox Live Marketplace -- and retail, in the form of token cards.

Additionally, the "fourth" Street Fighter game makes its console debut, alongside High School Musical 3: Senior Year. Decisions, decisions ...

i agree, for now. thinking of going through GTAIV again after I finish bioshock, but i'm pissed because i harvested a little sister just to see what would happen, and realized I sacrificed a stupid 100 point achievement. So i'm playing burnout and contemplating charging SFIV to a card, because i just can't justify using my hard earned donated plasma cash to buy it.

Bah, since I don't have much money left other than the one I'm saving for RE5, I'm getting the GTA4 DLC. I might get Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon later on though...

I got to play the demo of Prinny can I really be the hero for the PSP and it is really good. I'm kind of interested to see how that 50 cent game turns out as the videos that I have seen actually look like a very polished 3rd person shooter. I never thought the game would interest me but the more videos I see the more I like it. Probably going to pass on SF IV in favor of Killzone 2 later in the month. There just isn't a reason for me to pick it up considering how little I played Soul Caliber.

So we have a maybe on Prinny, possible on 50 cent next week when it gets a NA release and a no on street fighter 4.

I watched the videos on PSN and 50 cent looked less polished than i expected. Weird eh? I dunno if I'm gonna grab that one.

And uh, as for the "most expensive console add-on downloadable content" title, that already belongs to Shivering Isles for Oblivion, which cost $30.

excited for race pro!
i just hope its better than forza..

I got some gift cards still kicking around, so I'll be picking up Dawn of War II this week. Which is nice since I'm just about finished with Lost Odyssey.

OMG Disney Sing It HSM3!!!!!!!!!
LOL jk

I'll just wait for KZ2.

just picking up Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon for now
