this is what PC gaming is about: cheaper games with free DLC

cjoyce1980 · 30th Jul 2008, 09:36

I very much doubt it.

i'm tempted to buy this game heard good things about it, this is more of a reason to buy it i guess

The fact that it's free isn't actually news. It's advertised on the back of the games case, "Includes free additional content - face off against the horrific Batarians". I was actually very disapointed that I couldn't do that straight out of the box since the content was already made (and implied with the game). I'll try it out later, but such a delayed addition is pretty crap, I'm done with that game twice over and just want the next one =/

its free for pc cause its sponsored by somebody.

its not free for 360 though

You don't get anything for free, you may not be paying for it directly but at some point somebody does - even indirectly. In this case its sponsered.

Zut · 30th Jul 2008, 14:00

Its not free, its included in the price of the retail game, as Mentai says.

I would have expected bit-tech to know its stuff.
