Capcom is happy to announce that its recently released downloadable title, Dead Rising 2: CASE ZERO, has broken all records on Xbox LIVE with the best week one unit sales in the history of all content distributed through Xbox LIVE Arcade. The prologue to the highly-anticipated Dead Rising 2, Dead Rising 2: CASE ZERO, launched last week as a unique piece of downloadable content exclusively for Xbox LIVE Arcade. A standalone title that helps bridge the gap between the original Dead Rising and the soon-to-be-released Dead Rising 2, it allows fans a taste of the new Dead Rising world on Xbox 360.

The unique prologue experience gives gamers a glimpse of what’s to come in Dead Rising 2 as it includes new combo weapons; your first look at survivors and a psycho; an introduction to new protagonist, Chuck Greene and his daughter Katey and a system that allows you to carry your character attributes collected in Dead Rising 2: CASE ZERO into the main game.

Dead Rising 2: CASE ZERO is now available exclusively to download on Xbox LIVE Arcade. Dead Rising 2 will launch on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC on September 28, 2010.

Not surprising the game was pretty cheap and everyone interested in Dead Rising 2 and looking for a demo bought it.

I haven't hated somebody in a long time, but I hate that guy doing the review.  How much more irritating can a guy be?  I stomached that vid for 43 seconds.

I didn't think the series was THIS popular

I remeber Capcom saying something about how they wanted this to replace Resident Evil as their biggest series or something, i thought it was completely rediculous (like zero chance) but now it's got a teeny chance in my mind

its only 400 points.  hard to turn it down at that price.  i havent purchased it yet, but probably will.  i hear its good too.

Its 5 dollars for a 5 hour mini prequal with tons of replayability.

Must be talking about the record for actual games only, because I'm sure that CoD/Halo Map packs have done much, much more...

And i thought Mw2 did 2.5M 1st Week for map packs...

yeah probably only for a standalone and/or XBLA title.

MW2 map packs did more, demos did more (but you obviously didn't need to pay for them)
