So basically Mass Effect Bring Down the Sky and Oblivion Shivering Isles.
Actually the best thing this week is probably the PURE demo.



We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai

It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps

We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick

Bringing down the sky and Shivering Isles are buys for those who haven't I guess.

Meh I think DLC is the biggest scam of this generation, until these are free I wouldn't get em. Maybe being a long time PC gamer spoiled me.

Good that i haven't downloaded the content for ME & LO before.
That makes 180 Microsoft Points less which are equal to 2,16€.
