Yeah free for USA.

It's funny I can go to any local store and buy these movies on DVDs. But Microsoft still can't negotiate content rights for gamerpics and themes for the Canada and Europe. I don't get it.

NOT ALL content is free in the "NEXT-GEN" age...

Title: GameSpot (OH DEAR! RED FLAG #1!)

Content: DICE Sessions: 20 Ways To Pay For Guns AND DLC In Battlefield BC SD (HD? Sorry, but that is going to cost you.)

Price: 800 MS Points (To Start!)

Availability: All XBox LIVE regions under the watchful eye of EA PORTS (It used to be in the game for free, not anymore)

Size: 108 KB (What, didn't you read EA Tom's memo?)

Dash Text: [ESRB: RP (Rating Pending)] Get up close and personal with Microsoft Game Studios VP Shane Kim as he is just as surprised as you are about how bad EA wants to rape you with this game. Joystiq APPROVED!*

*Joystiq wants your business, but when it actually comes time to man up and stand behind your community, they post hesitant BULLSH1T responses about how we should all "wait and judge" with this game. PAYOFF MUCH?

Anyone who remembers my old post about Superman's "theoretical" DLC should understand just how pathetic I think the whole Battlefield Series is going to become. Wow, AT WHAT POINT DO WE GET THE SAVE MONEY IN NEXT-GEN?!?!?!

Need more examples? Here - GODFATHER, TIGER WOODS 07, TIGER WOODS 08 (They sold server slots for 200 points each!), FIFA 08, NFS Carbon (the first $120 USD game on the 360 after DLC), and NFS ProStreet (which is almost as bad SO FAR). Namco and Komani also have ripped titles apart for the sake of DLC.

(ALL FREE) is something I LAUGH AT when I read it in regards to XBox Live. WOW, FOR ONCE it is all free. And just how much of this is GAME CONTENT? NONE!

Next-Gen gaming just keeps getting suckier and suckier with each passing day.

Hate to be a broken record, but blame licensing deals. Xbox would love to give the rest of the world free stuff. Same reason why Facebook's official Scrabble game is not available in the U.S. but out everywhere else in the world.

The DICE interviews might be PBS boring for some but I love knowing the business part of the industry.

FunkyCD - ever heard of having an american account?

it's not that hard to set up and is actually pretty useful. I get all these free themes and pic packs all the time :)

FunkyCD... you fragile minds might become corrupt upon viewing, only the minds of a US citizen can withstand the awesome power of the free themes and pictures.

Would be good if the UK could get some free stuff!

FunkyCD — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 08:30:49 GMT

Hopefully the Marketplace team gets caught up soon. We got the Sega Superstars Tennis demo, but we still need at least the Condemned 2 demo and Samurai Warriors 2 XL expansion that were scheduled for mid-March. :(
