Mass Effect DLC Leaks onto Swiss and Swedish Marketplace

Mass Effect DLC Leaks onto Swiss and Swedish Marketplace
Written Monday, August 24, 2009 by Dan Webb

Last week we reported that the Mass Effect page of Xbox.com was updated with three new achievements, taking the game's total points up to 1200. Well, it appears that the DLC that is tied to these achievements has been leaked on to the Xbox Live Marketplace in Switzerland and Sweden.

The content comes in at 400 points and is called "Pinnacle Station" which falls in line with what the achievements stated last week. The content is said to feature a fight club aboard a casino and gaming space station.

BioWare's Jesse Houston told us at GamesCom last week that the content was complete, but was unsure when it would drop, but with the events over the last few days, you'd have to think it was pretty near.

The content remains up in Sweden and Switzerland, so if you're interested, snap this content up before it likely gets removed.

The first rule about Pinnacle Station is you do not talk about Pinnacle Station.

The second rule about Pinnacle Station is you DO NOT talk about Pinnacle Station.

It does seem odd that the DLC is being released this late and with ME 2 coming next year but should tide us over at least.

Do you have to have a Sweedish Xbox account or something to be able to get it?

So, no way to get the DLC if you don't live in Sweden or Switzerland? That sucks

Is it me, or does the Swiss MP only have the German version? While I am German, I have an english ME and I have no intention of effing up my languages...

I see it, but only the [DE] version. I'm assuming if I downloaded it, everything would be in German?

It seems that the leaked content has been removed from the Swedish Market Place. At least I can't find it under mass effects downloads. Thanks for the heads up though.

Well they did say Mass Effect's first DLC was a first chapter of more DLC to come at least they are giving us a second although when i read a book it never only has 2 chapters lol. Mass Effect FTW, can't wait for ME2 w/Blood Dragon Armor yay!

Ill take whatever I can get, whenever i can get it for this game. Simply 1 of the best RPG's in awhile.

Monday, August 24, 2009 @ 07:21:40 AM

Whoever said it, there will be no other DLC. Pinnacle Station will be last. I hope ME2 will be more supported in DLC area.

Comment #35 by Achiever TM
Monday, August 24, 2009 @ 07:46:47 AM

you can go to xbox.com and change region to Swiss, the search Mass Effect and you can find the new DLC, there are only a problem, it's only German language, at least is the info they put there

Comment #36 by patches4711
Monday, August 24, 2009 @ 07:46:48 AM

It needs to Leak onto the US Marketplace. 400 MP is a great deal for the DLC. I hope it stays that price for the US. Either way it is a buy for me.

im surprised they only put out 2 DLC packs, hopefully for numero 2 they will follow the fallout 3 DLC map.

mmmm....400 points eh? Tempting.

Comment #41 by Gaddmeister
Monday, August 24, 2009 @ 08:47:17 AM

So did anyone actually see the dlc on the Swedish Market Place? I'm beginning to suspect that this was just one of those good old Sweden/Switzerland mix-ups. :)

Did anybody download this then, and is it in english?

This is not correct. DLC is NOT available yet, this is a mistake on the website.

When we have more information about the next DLC, we will let you know. Hopefully, this will be later today once NA BioWare returns to work.[/quote]

Nice can't wait for it to hit the states hope its real soon give's me a better reason to go back and clean up Mass Effect =)

Comment #52 by Shelton
Monday, August 24, 2009 @ 10:58:14 AM

Considering how big the content has been made out to be, I am surprised and pleased that it is only 400 points. I was prepared for 800... Should be fun. Looking forward to it.

Comment #53 by Fata1Stryke
Monday, August 24, 2009 @ 11:05:50 AM

Awesomeness! I'm all set for this now, hope it's coming soon!

Comment #54 by mjc0961
Monday, August 24, 2009 @ 11:25:21 AM

Hmm, never been tempted to visit another country's Marketplace before... Anyone know if 360 DLC is region locked like the PS3? :p

Ah well, I don't read/speak German anyway. I can wait for the US release. I just hope it's still 400 points.

Comment #55 by ScuzzyBunny FTN
Monday, August 24, 2009 @ 12:05:58 PM

I found it interesting that when looking at the US Marketplace at M.E. all the old themes have been reduced in price to 50 ms points. Hopefully this is a new trend where old content is quietly reduced!

I agree that 400 is a steal, and though I would prob pay more, I'll be very disappointed if they hike the price up. Loved M.E. and need to get back in there and wrap up those last few achvs.

Shouldnt be too longer till it drops in US

Comment #60 by TheFragileArmy
Monday, August 24, 2009 @ 01:21:23 PM

#55, they reduced all old 360 themes that worked with the blades to 50 MSP because its not premium. And you can't even see the whole screen either thanks to the new look.

Comment #61 by kamakazegrunt27
Monday, August 24, 2009 @ 02:01:41 PM

Awesome! Once it's released in the US I'll buy both DLCs and get my last 2 achievements from the original.

@56 I was wondering the exact same thing. You'd it would be leaked here first.

Monday, August 24, 2009 @ 02:46:43 PM

Yes 400MP, finally a dlc I can get for under 500MP left over from All Fronts.

@18, fallout 3 stole those =), still this looks nice especially with a tiny lil 5 dollar price tag, i must say this will be better then bringin down the sky.

So is this the regular version of the DLC or the sweded version? I'd love to play as mos def and jack black with horrible camera angles.

Comment #69 by rsxdelerium
Monday, August 24, 2009 @ 04:02:32 PM

They are probably releasing it now to get people back into Mass Effect as preparation for the second one. Now, even though the content isn't all that large, it seems like almost every single DLC is 800 points no matter what it is .. so for 400 points it's actually something I'm going to get

Comment #70 by Devil Sora
Monday, August 24, 2009 @ 04:29:02 PM

Hmm 400 for ME DLC and 560 for L4D DLC me like this upcoming Q3 session

OMG it's amazing CAN'T WAIT more DLC for my favorite game EVER, i Hope the content is released SEPTEMBER 7th, cause it's my birthday, and I won't get points until then!

Poll

Downloadable content - achievements or no achievements - will you buy it with or without them?
If the content is good, or for a game I love, I'll buy it regardless of whether chievos are included
I'll still buy and play the downloadable content, but achievements would be nice.
Who the hell cares!?
No achievements, no sale ... and that goes for any game ... whether you're GTA or Halo!
Just stop with the DLC achievements full stop ... you're ruining my completion percentage dammit!
