EA sent word that their first downloadable boxer pack, featuring Oscar De La Hoya, Vitali Klitschko, Wladimir Klitschko, and alternate versions of George Foreman and James Toney, will be coming to the Xbox Live Marketplace at the end of the month for 800 Microsoft points.

In other Fight Night downloadable content news, EA also stated that their free update - which includes additional trunks, gloves and shorts, as well as a free button control scheme that will allow gamers to use face buttons to throw punches - will now be available late August as well. A new demo featuring the button controls will also be available by early September. The 12 round demo will feature Mike Tyson and Muhammad Ali as playable boxers.

  • fail, due to massive online shitness i fail to care
  • 800 points for some more boxers seems a bit steep to me... I would have thought that a 400 point price tag would have been better suited to this considering it doesn't add much to the game. Perhaps some achievements would have been better or a challenge mode to see how quick you can knock out the new boxers with a ramped up difficulty that can't be changed. Or something along those lines. Anyway, thats my two penneth !
  • 800 Points for some players!!?? And these players could not be included in the original title release!!? DLC is getting out of hand now!
  • OMG WHAT A RIP this is worst than the time i forgot how to sit down
  • Kind of expensive for the boxers, but no complaints here. And as for the control scheme, idk if I like it or not.
  • this makes my vagina tingle. and not in a good way. sincerely, the guy who doesn't even have this game
  • You think they would give to you boxer pack with the free update.
  • You people are acting shocked and disgusted by this? It's EA. They've ALWAYS done this with DLC. Why's it so shocking now?
  • @ #8...theyr charging 10 bux for boxer skins...probly took em 5 minutes to code it all out I mean cmon. its not even anything must have, no new game modes or acheevs or anything worthwhile. 400 price would have been more reasonable yet still a longshot...
  • Wow, every game should not have DLCs. Fuck sake. Our game is not popular anymore - what should we do? Lets use the new trick: DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC DLC and some more DLC.....
  • #8 points to the skate 2 dlc
  • All this DLC all over. Makes a guy not want to buy the game until all the DLC comes on a disc with some version of the game... but then it wouldn't be sexy downloadable content... it'd just be content. Oh, wistful nostalgia.
  • good god, $10 for a handful of characters that should've been included to begin with. F$#* Epic for starting this "oh we deleted it from the release because it wasn't ready" then calling it additional content when it IS finally released. It's BULLSHIT, this is stuff that either a) got scrapped from the game because the company couldn't meet the timetable, or b) exactly what #2/3/9 said. bottom line for me is this: 99% of games/hardware/etc. (hell really anything electronic) DEPRECIATES in value, starting immediately. it makes absolutely no sense for the mean price of DLC to be increasing. i bemoaned the price increase on arcade titles for a while, but after playing some of the higher quality ones, i can accept the lengthier, more in-depth titles being pricier than older arcade titl
  • (ctd)...titles. but new DLC is getting more expensive and less expansive. the pricing on the map packs for COD/Halo makes sense. they're the most popular online games out there. and their maps are $10. but the recent onslaught of pathetic online DLC for games that no one even plays online is ridiculous. that + the astonishingly terrible "Games on Demand" prices is too much. not sure who the hell devised the price points for "GoD" - bet that's the first time you noticed you'd be downloading games from GoD - but they are ludicrous. Bioshock + Oblivion = $40 for both in stores... $30 each from GoD. is it really worth $20 not to drive to the freaking store? pretty much every game that retails for $19.99 US new is $30, and some other random horseshit like CoD 2 just got a %200 marku
  • (ctd)...markup. i mean, remember the good ol' days, when solid arcade games were 800 pts, plus there was the occasional good 400 pter/freebie. and when shitty old games were just shitty old games you paid $7.99 for a used copy, not $30 for a "digital copy" (try loaning that one to a friend). and DLC... another planet in Mass Effect for 5 bucks? yessir. even the dickheads at EA gave a nice chunk of content for Army of Two for 800 pts. 3 new boxers and some new clothes? devs should spend their time more constructively. sorry for the rant, but i'd say most of you agree.
  • Where is Floyd Mayweather Jr,Juan Manuel Marquez,Chad Dawson,Paul Williams,Carl Froch ?
  • Lol at#4 even though I love the klitchko brothers this is way to steep, and I don't think the new button layout will help me get those damn belt achievements, so I think I'll keep away.
  • Don't care as this is a worse game than Fight night round 3.
  • why buy new boxers when u can just make who ever you want or get them from boxer share.....why?
  • WTF!!! FUCK THIS SHIT!!!
  • EA strikes again. nothing good.
  • WOW why does everybody get so mad. if you don't like the game or you don't like the content don't download it.
  • just do the electric boogaloo
  • At least the face buttons are going to be free.
  • #22 if u don't like hearing peoples opinions and "comments" then stay out of the freaking comment section! just cuz u don't voice how u feel doesn't make u better...it makes u a snobby lil pussy
  • this proves dlc has got out of hand. there creating the dlc before the game is release then bringing loads out after about a month which they clearly have not mind in this time. skate 2 is a perfect example not even a month after release there was 2 DLC packs !! here motto should be, EA, we try our hardest to take ALL of your money
  • Wow, the DLC for this game is worst than the time Peter Griffin spoke backwards XD
  • i agree with #10 why is every sorry half-assed game getting dlc now? and whos idea was it to hike prices as much as possible in the middle of a world-wide depression?! yet another reason why i am getting so frustrated by this oncoming holiday rush, i can feel the disappointment already
  • wow dont they know you can use vision camera in this game and make those boxers in this game ive even seen good apollo creeds brad pitts and even john madden. whats the point of this DLC when you could box with john madden!?
  • I like how everyone is bitching that its 800ms point for the DLC that most who are bitching think is stupid to begin with so there is a really and i mean really easy solution to this JUST DON'T BUY IT THEN shit why is that so hard who cares how much it is. Plus how come no one is mentioning that at least they are giving you some free shit for the button mapping and at least not charging you for that damn people want everything for free. -SV
  • i only careabou the free update, not sure if this will save online but at least it'll be more fun in singleplayer
  • agree with #31. online is horrible, but the actual game is quite fun.
  • ok yeah cool but really who the fuck is going to pay for some damn boxers that should have been in the game itself. I like getting dlc but stuff that should have been in the game and is a weak dlc like this for 800ms points they can shove that up there ass
  • @13,14,and15(dox)The GoD prices are not bad for me considering I would be paying more to drive to the closest retailer then buying the game from GoD...lol it is pretty funny to say. "hey where did you get that game" oh this? I got it from god.
  • Why do ppl cry about DLC being stupid and pointless, but when new Fallout 3 content gets released, ppl jump on it like a pack lions on a zebra.
  • Why keep boxers that should be in the game out of the game just to sell for DLC? All theey care about is making money.
  • They probably had this planned before FN4 came out, but they were smart and didn't tell anybody till after the game came out.
  • Is it just me or does no one else like this game? I love it and I'm glad to see they put out more content after finishing a career to keep playing. Yeah 800mp is quite a bit but that's what it always is for dlc these days. It's pretty rare to see 400 anymore.
  • Would be better if they put something on to share the belts around and some more achievement's not paying 800 for nothing.
  • FAIL the game was sold last week for a reasonable price of 25.53 it has now been replaced with pga tour 10!! STICK FNR4 UP UR RICKER
  • EA + DLC = Loads of Money / WTF @35, thats because you get more for your money. on the other hand, this might not be entirely down to EA, licensing boxers would be pretty pricey, but then EA are already swimming in cash, so,... meh, but why did they not include them in the original game, i'd like to see EA avoid that question, and i'd like to see the response they would churn out. there needs to be common ground established on the pricing for dlc, for example, in my opinion, a few extra fighters is not the same value as a fallout 3 expansion. but again, no surprises here, EA are money grabbing curnts, they may get my money for games, but not for retard DLC.
  • just so you guys harping about EA making their money know... EA is one of a handful of publicly-traded companies that has literally ZERO debt, and they have roughly $2.2 billion in cash sitting there. i think they're alright.
  • aww....no fair how come oscar de la hoya is dlc he shoulda been in the original cast of fighters >.>
  • i want riddick bowe that will be 1600 m$ points fuckin pricks i hate ea even madden has dlc before game was released next year to play madden we will have to buy the ball 800 m$ points and air to go in the ball 400 m$ points no more ea products for me
  • Forget this. I love fight night round 4 but i can just download these boxers off the boxer share for free and they have a real likeness.
  • Thats ridiculous to even charge ANYTHING after they made those stupid achievements with the belts who cares about a few bunk fighters and new apparel i will not pay 800 pts.
