The Rest of the Marketplace News

The Rest of the Marketplace News
Written Thursday, March 19, 2009 by Dan Webb

In addition to Call of Duty: World at War's Map Pack 1 which is now available for purchase on the Marketplace, there are a few more notable additions which we're about to break down for you. Brace yourselves!

The FIFA 09 Ultimate Team is also now available for download on the Marketplace. The main  Premium Unlock will set you back 800 Microsoft Points and it looks like players will need to download a free language add on as well, which comes in English, Spanish, German, Italian and French. For more information on the Ultimate Team check out the game announcement here or the trailer here. If that's not enough, there is even a FIFA 09 Ultimate Team theme for 250 points available.

Also hitting the marketplace after its week-long delay, the Midnight Club: LA "South Central" DLC will arrive, also for 800 Microsoft Points, adding new races, vehicles, music and car parts.

In other addition news, Guitar Hero World Tour fans can now pick up the European Track Pack 04 for 440 points or buy the songs individually (Carolina by M-Clan, Hire Kommt Alex by Die Toten Hosen and What Have You Done by Within Temptation) for 160 points each.

The second Jimi Hendrix Track Pack is also now available for 440 points and it includes Foxy Lady (Live from Woodstock), Freedom and Angel. <3 Hendrix

Not sure why they don't add more achieves for COD... I would probably get it if it did. The others are all skip for me.

@#1 no ones gonna try to compete against a game like cod because of the massive fan base people are gonna prefer to spend their points on that instead of something else.

Wish i could dl it but im at the house with the wrong 360!!!

Marketplace has been slow as of late it seems. I'm tired of the Arcade's swarm of old retro games and remixes of them. Castle Crashers wasn't something I played as a kid and it totally rocked. We need more "New" stuff.

Well I hope the Mass Effect DLC comes out soon and I'll be getting that Gears pack because it actually has maps that look interesting.

It's about time Microsoft put all the Rock Band, Lips, Guitar Heroes DLC in a separate file coz when i check the marketplace it's always full of single tracks for them. Why can't they do the same as the PS3 and make a separate file for them? Just a rational thought/ suggestion??

5: I really am not sure... how many retro games have there been for the marketplace? I haven't seen anything in months except for Banjo Kazooie. IMO the marketplace needs more of that.

Thursday, March 19, 2009 @ 01:50:05 PM

Bloody 'Hier Kommt Alex' it was on GH3, Rock Band, now available for dl on world tour. Probably on greatest hits when that comes out. try something new, plenty of other good songs to choose from.

Indeed, another 250GS would have been an instant buy for me. COD is strange that way unfortunately.

@27 i'm sorry you didn't like COD:WaW you say its an epic fail? Lol How its one of the most played games online(according to MajorNelson.com). Its not for every one but this game didn't fail, I play both COD4 and COD:WaW and enjoy both online and neither failed both are major successes.

Definitely no DLC for Midnight Club for me. Just checked the marketplace under new arrivals and didn't see it, so I browsed all games and there isn't any DLC listed under Midnight Club at all. Anyone know what's up?

I think that castle crashers will cost 800 points next week as the Deal of the Week. That would be a great deal for people who don't own it!

Comment #47 by ell635
Thursday, March 19, 2009 @ 04:44:40 PM

If Halo 3's Mythic Map Pack was released today as well, I think it'd be the greatest day of DLC, EVER!!

But Bungie are too smart to even try to shadow COD5's new maps. They'll let them have a week or so before hitting us with their load (That sounds wrong!).

So yeah, happy days.

OK Wheres the midnight club stuff, it's been pushed back to many times already, and R* claimed it would be out today on march 19, but it's not on the marketplace.
