So, to unlock the extra content you need:

PS3: $400
PSP: $179
PS3 game: $60
PSP game: $40

So the total cost of hardware/software to get 6 new weapons in Assassins Creed 2: $679!

Wow, thats about $100 per weapon.

But then weapons in other games will be practically free!

Then October first is the day for you!

2 map packs not 2 maps there's a difference.

considering
how long it took IW to release first map pack for COD4 and the fact that developer can release DLC only once every quarter yes those map pack will be exclusive for about 5-6 months.

Well, if you're starting from scratch, then yeah (except the PSP is $169)

To justify a cost like that, I will imagine the weapons being awesome.

"In collaboration with Bethesda, we unveil the 6 new weapons for Assassin's Creed 2, one by one. The first one is here now: The Fat Man!"

Microsoft has confirmed that the game’s first two map packs will be a timed exclusive for Xbox 360 when it’s released on November 10.


this quote doesn't seem to match up properly with what you're saying.

first two maps packs on nov 10? they will both be released together, at launch?

Waron.

I really doubt that i mean come on 6 months exclusive for map packs that just playing stupid and trust me IW wants the money from ps3 owners aswell.

This is just an added treat for those who decide to buy both the ps3 & psp version. No more, no less. It's not like these weapons are going to change the entire Assassin's Creed 2 experience.

Edit: And I'm betting a month exclusivity on those mw2 map packs, tops.

@waron

well we get 2 map packs for COD 4 -- 2

So basically I'd have to own both Sony platforms, and buy both games to get the extra items. Not sure if that is really worth it. It certainly won't have that big of an affect on sales.
