Downloadable stuff on Xbox Live just can't stay out of the Joystiq headlines. That's good news for us LIVE subscribers!

"Lots?" Eh...

I did notice Beautiful Katamari's DLC dropped to 80 points each recently...definitely gonna grab them all. Might as well get PDZ's map pack after all these years, lol.

PSU's expansion goes from $10 to free, you say? :D

@Repo Man I picked up all the Katamari DLC for 80 each. They were worth it. That is like the go to game for girls at my apartment so the next time I have a party people will be all types of excited for the new stuff.

@Repo Man

Personally, I'd say even 80 points is far too high for content that was on the disc you already paid for.

Damn! Bring Down The Sky for a measly 80 MS points? That's a steal at a price of an Avatar glove...

@Baron Milton Von Crompton

Totally. And while the second ME1 DLC was total trash, BDTS was actually really friggin' great. For a buck? Unbelievable value.

Beautiful Katamari DLC for one eightieth the price of the game new. I regret terribly giving up that game, which I only purchased for $20 or so new. I hate how people run up prices on obviously not-rare games ... I so wish to buy it again too!

@Dance Love Pop its on Xbox Live Marketplace for 20 bucks. here you go http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/games/media/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d8024e4d07dc/

Ah! This is how DLC SHOULD BE!

@(Unverified) Sorry but I disagree The developer's make most of their DLC after a game has come out they deserve the money they get from people purchasing the DLC because they worked hard on it...

Man, I really loved Blue Dragon.

It had flaws, but it had charm.

@Ezio Auditore da Firenze

Hmmm... :/

I have it, but have only gotten a tiny ways into it. It's got plenty of charm but I think it's really really boring. Does it pick up?

@Acosta02

It's a JRPG, of course it doesn't pick up

@Hyperion45

Er.. you dont play RPGs much do you? o.O

FF13 went from a *yawn* to a *Nice*, around chapter 7-ish for me.

@Faenix

I play RPGs a lot and FF13 went from yawn linear to yawn in a stupidly big yet still linear area.

Did I mention Yawn?

I have the PSU AOTI dlc from a few days ago (can't remember haow I discovered it was free.. twitter maybe? would have been cool if I could of played it with the extra mode character.. I'll have to work on it at some point, and drop the cash for the PSU Hunters License

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Now I have an excuse to play phantasy star universe again!

@drnerd

Good. PSU really needs more people playing. Supplemental Update should be hitting the game in the next couple weeks too.

Darn... I don't even OWN Phantasy Star Universe and I'm downloading that expansion...

Free does that to me...

Im sorry but who actually liked perfect dark zero?? and why did they bother putting out DLC?

@monkeyontherun4
that game was one of the only xbox 360 games besides halo 3 to do 4 player splitscreen online i gladly dropped 400 points back in the day for those

@monkeyontherun4

I haven't played it in ages, but back at launch it spent more time in my console than anything else. It had its flaws, certainly, but it was a decent game.

@El Capitaine
really you played it for a while?? i played it and couldnt get past the horrible game play of the second level. couldn't believe that the game was so bad. Now im not trying to say you are wrong just my opinion of it, but what did you find so good about it?

w00t! Thanks a lot joystiq!

I think I've got an extra 80mp somewhere. Bring Down the Sky is the only dlc I didn't bother with on ME1.

@Faceless Troll

What!? Oh man, my brain just stopped working. Pinnacle Station was such crap, compared to Bring Down The Sky! You are in for a treat, my friend.

Meh, the only one that interests me is bring down the sky which I already have.

@(Unverified)

it good?

@Faenix BDtS is VERY good. Far and away better than Pinnacle Station, but don't let that comparison scare you away. Get BDtS - trust me.

Still not beat Lost Odyssey but for 80 Points I will sure as hell pick up that DLC since has achievements tied to it!

I feel kinda ripped off the PSU DLC just went free! I mean sure it was like 2 years ago I payed for it and only works while paying to play but still.

Mass Effect - Bring Down The Sky (80 Microsoft Points)

..How is it?

Just recently beat ME1 so I could play ME2 (Sad about the lack of armour/wep stuff.. and no crouch - used that in ME1), so far its a good game.

Let it be known, if any Developers visit Joystiq.

DEMOS - SELL - VIDEOGAMES! So start making them for the majority of games!!

The ME2 demo was what sold me, I didnt care much for ME1 - but that ME2 demo was so fun I ran out and bought the damn game from Wal-Mart.

@Faenix

Ohh, have to get the Lost Odyssey - Dungeon Pack (80 Microsoft Points) also. Is this a timed offer, or... ?

@Faenix

Bring Down The Sky is a steal for only a dollar. Get it.

I don't understand how the Oblivion DLC, or more specifically Shivering Isles, have never gone on sale. It's gotta be one of the most expensive expansions on XBL and I have never seen it discounted.

@iceKXG shivering isles went on sale at least once, but i agree. i think all of that oblivion dlc should have some price drops. the horse armor should be free, and those other dlc packs like the thieves den, etc. should be 80 points or less.

i know digital stores don't need to make room for new inventory, but prices should still be adjusted to match demand.

@iceKXG It did a while back. All content was half price, except Horse Armour which was doubled.

I'd like to see The Outfit DLC dropped to free or less.

Those Katamari levels are a particularly low point for XBL. Paying for the UNLOCK codes for content that is ON YOUR DISC. That choice ended any future chances I would give Katamari games. It SHOULD end the chances I give Namco games, but I'm not going to punish all Namco devs for the bad choices of one dev and the publisher.

@ScottG13 Almost all the Namco games do the same thing.

If you don't own PGR4, you should.

Do you still have to pay for subscription in PSU?

@(Unverified) Yes.

Load of old poo that really should be free by now.

And don't forget the cheap BulletWitch costumes ... ROFLMAO!
