I think they covered their mistake seeing as you can't even get to download. But there may be a further problem which I won't say in fright for others to take advantage.

Not sure if it's just a mistake, or EA being rude again, or what - but I got a quick video of the situation. Audio is bad so feel free to turn off the sound.

It'll still always be in your download queue on transactions so you could be able to download it again in the future maybe??? I got it anyway worth a shot.

EDIT: yeah it failed at 99% for me and isnt in download queue, this is strange :/

I couldn't download it in game either but I noticed it's on the dashboard to download for 640MSP...

Does anyone know if this add-on comes with any additional achievements?

I'd like to know this too, I haven't been able to find any confirmation either way.

EDIT: According to ACTS In this thread (http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/showthread.php?t=366012). Confirmed NO achievements. :(

No achievements = no purchase.

I got little interest with more slopes n stuff especially since they screwed me out of my Last medal.

Yeah it is, I did two quick Tricky runs, a 3hr (i think it was) time limit @ 1mil & a 15 min time limit @1.5mil, this morning before work. The 15 min timed run took maybe 45 seconds to complete but was still fun trying to get above 3 mil score on it. Was only 3 of us on the run I got plat for a win of 1.9ish mil, so about a 400k credit return. So they are starting the quick runs as mentioned in the DLC thread that they wanted to do.

The retro characters have the same stats as their new counterparts, as an fyi.

I can never understand why people release dlc without achievements

NO achievements = NO purchase

It wouldn't have been as bad even if they had just put a few medals in there and not necessarily achievements, as that gives me more to do in the game. I even bought the addon pack off eBay for Mount Fuji and Eddie himself before the gits made him free to download. I'm still very bitter about them not letting us get the 50k badge easier for people it screwed over but i get that it's a harder problem than it seems, especially when it's hard to get it to that number. Hopefully it'll happen sooner or later.

Maybe by that time i'll consider buying the DLC, but for now it's a no.

And I can't understand why people base DLC purchases solely on whether or not they have additional achievements. I understand that this is an achievement hunting site, but I just don't get why some people are so dead set against buying any DLC that doesn't have achievements, regardless of how much they like the original game.

Whatever happened to playing games for fun? :confused:
