"Welcome to the weekly round-up of DLC content expected to hit Xbox LIVE in the week ahead. We have tried our best of compile all the planned updates into one, so if we forgot any, please forgive us. Not much is being released this week, but Fable II fans should be happy at least."

[Nelson M]

Well what else do the BoTs Expect ?
Exclusive's !!
Haaa Hah

[Uncle Rico]

If you don't like the Xbox...dont say anything...be happy with your PS3 and stay out of it...

[Shadow Man]

Droids like him hate DLC because droids hate what they can't have, like GTAIV and Fallout3 DLC.

If you want the complete experience the Xbox360 version is the one to get.

[Microsoft Xbox 360]

In reality nobody wants DLC but xbots. DLC is the worst thing to happen this generation. These companies are ripping you off by charging your for content that should have been free and included on day one.

[The_Beast]

xbl...

[terrandragon]

PS3 fans that want Fallout 3 DLC say Hi.

[ssipmraw]

^^^^ Xbots wanting every PS3 exclusive says Hi!

[n to the b]

@1.6 ...yeah...hardly.

@1.3 I haven't seen all DLCs for the 360 (too many!) but it's obvious that Fable 2 and Fallout 3 DLCs are true extra content created after the fact. since, you know, they feature entirely new (large!) areas.

I DL'd Broken Steel but haven't even gotten to the high-level new content yet! couldn't stop myself from starting yet another character - love this game almost more than Bioshock!

[icup2]

When you have no game

i guess DLC will have to do.

[andthensum]

XBox 360: Always expecting more Exclusive DLC
PS3: Always expecting more Exclusive games
Wii: Don't Expect too much

[MasFlowKiller]

Expected Xbox 360 DLC
sounds like the start of a tradition, lol
or multiplat game

ether way, weak SON,

where are the games microsoft, i dont see why i should keep my 360 when i can play most if not all game on the PS3, and the one that i cant play on my ps3 are probably on the PC at a superior quality, come on MS step UP, dont just talk the talk

[cherrypie]

Exclusives thusfar in 2009:

Xbox 360: 5
PS3: 1

So, yeah.. there is a difference actually.

[The General]

Real funny. But thats for DLC

Now Switch those numbers around and you'll have the tally for exclusive games.

PS3: 5 and counting
Xbox 360: 1 and still waiting

[DelbertGrady]

PS3: Killzone 2

Xbox 360: Halo Wars, Race Pro, Ninja Blade, Star Ocean IV, Stoked.

Sorry to burst your bubble but those are the exclusives that have been released this year. If you want to you could also factor in The Lost and The Damned for GTA IV and 2 episodes for Fallout 3. I think the first episode was released in late 2008.

[I did not murder him]

I'm surprised you're even replying to his comment he is basically attacking the 360 for having better and more online support and using a myth about PS3's exclusives in its defence.

Whats being said in here is sort of funny and sad. His comment almost comes across like he thinks this is something other than a weekly update of content we know is coming hence the list for next week.

Its like attacking upcoming PSN content releases and then maliciously making up Bullshit about lineups or exclusives because of the lack of support on one's favorite platform.

on topic
Getting the fable pack for sure I got the best Sword in the game and its too powerful for the current baddies.

These guys don't even make any sense at all. XBL updates "update" new content, how retail games got mentioned is beyond me.

[gaffyh]

Lol @ you guys. Quality over quantity. None of the Xbox games this year are great games.

Halo Wars - Ok, but not great, too easy for me.
Race Pro - Same it's OK, but does have a lot of issues
Ninja Blade - This just sucks imo
Star Ocean IV - I'm pretty sure everyone said this isn't as good as they thought it would be. I'm still looking forward to it though in EU.
Stoked - never heard of this one personally.

Also US doesn't equal the world. PS3 exclusives this year:
Demon's Souls, Yakuza 3, Killzone 2, MLB The Show 09

Also some worth noting PSN exclusives:
Flower, Ragdoll Kung Fu, Burn Zombie Burn, Savage Moon, even Noby Noby Boy lol.

[Dmitry Orlov]

I've just completed Ninja Blade - it was average(about 70-80/100), not 'suck'.

Telling something sucks without even playing the game is universally stupid.

[AAACE5]

@ Mas Flow...whatever!

"SON"... Really... Does anyone even say "SON" anymore???LMAO

If you don't see any reason to keep a 360, then by all means, get rid of it! Enjoy your Ps3!

The thing that pissed me off is when you said, Most of the exclusive games will probably be on PC as well"... That is the same thing the fanboys say on here, yet when an article about a game like that comes up, none of those b*tches have any comments on the page.

Are you really going to buy it for PC? I give you and the other people who make such claims a 95% chance that you don't!

[360FanLord]

Why Are u talking it Personal?

the truth is that MS hasn't been steeping up and everyone here knows it,

last year the only game that wasn't on the PS3 that i got was gears 2 (and we all dont want to talk about gears 2)

am losing faith here too, Live is not enough of and incentive to keep on my 360 for much longer, here is hoping for a good showing at E3 or ill just have to whore my self out so i can buy a ps3,

true 360 fans would admit that last year and this year the PS3 has been the console to own and if that keep been the case then ill probably be force to get it cause above all else i love playing games

[No Way]

I wouldn't really say that.

This year, it's definitely the year to own a PS3.
But, last year, it was about even.
The year before that, was definitely the x360.

[Microsoft Xbox 360]

This was expected from a mile away.

[Shadow Man]

take your middle finger and put on your nose.
2.say a name of someone u like.
3.that person will ask u out or say they love u tomorrow.
4.here the thing copy and paste to 2 other news

[Sangria]

So there will be free new clothes for Fable 2? Or is it going to be "It's a patch but you wont get them if you don't buy the DLC" thing?

[Uncle Rico]

Free even without the DLC

[Sangria]

I love how you can get disagrees whereas you just answer me.
You (anonymous persons) know, i didn't want to say "ololol M$ = moneysuckers", i just wanted to know it as a Fable 2 player.

New clothes were my main point of interest for this DLC, but if they come free, i wonder if it would be worth it to buy the DLC.

[Uncle Rico]

yea i get you. I didnt take it as a fan boy comment either...now i understand why i have so many disagrees. i guess it's your choice... but i heard the dlc was pretty decent and something to look forward to.

[DelbertGrady]

Some people miss dlc more than others ;)

[dynastywss]

fable is a really good game and i like the fact that the add-on isn't pricey like some are for example saints row 2 was to high for what they gave you. what like 4 new cars, some clothes and only 3 missions not worth 800ms if you ask me.

[Uncle Rico]

Yea I agree. I felt the Burnout Paradise DLC for example..specifically the cars...were to expensive for what you got.

[Arnon]

I would love to see what it is. Cant wait. Better be a long add-on though.

[Lou-Cipher]

Actually there are 19 360 exclusives in 2009 so far, and only 15 Ps3 exclusives in 2009 so far, but don't get to excited because.

2009 360 exclusives average score is: 65/100

2009 PS3 exclusives average score is: 75/100

So what would you rather have? 19 $hitty games or 15 good games?

[DelbertGrady]

Let's see which one has most at the end of the year, shall we ;)

Sony love announcing but aren't as good at actually releasing. Only 1 title this year in contrast to 5 for the 360. Year of the PS3, once again...

[I did not murder him]

I thought he was talking about 2009 I was not aware of a console pumping out 19 games in 5 months. You could also say hype shaped the scores you provided and many PS3 exclusives have flopped.

I'd be surprised if there were only 19 console exclusive 360 games out in total the 360 has hundreds and hundreds of games.

Did you average your hand picked 360 exclusives or the whole line-up?

[No Way]

Haha. Your "Grading" sucks, bro.
You say 65/100 is "$hitty."
But, yet, 75/100 is "Good?"

That's only a 10 point difference..
And, the only ratings I care about, are the ones I give.

[Neo604]

shoddyboxpleasefixme180DLC

[Neo604]

360 games cost $60 + $20DLC
ps3 $60 and free online for life.

[RonyDean]

So your saying all the Rock Band DLC and LittleBigPlanet Clothes I have been buying for the PS3, should have been free!?!? And the house I bought for PSN Home, It should have been free as well?

Im getting ripped off here Sony! Why does Neo604 get free stuff and I don't?

[Dmitry Orlov]

Rony, I see what you did there :)

[Blu Ray3]

I own a PS3,and support Sony.
But you little lifeless people(Nelson M. and crew are ruining this site).
You guys make me sick to come here.

I really wish all of you could effin grow up,along with a couple of so called "bots" in here.

Whatever.

[Shane Kim]

Well don't bother reading the open zone then if you get all emotional.

Funny thing, there have been like 5-6 articles the last 2 weeks showing most wanted PS3 games of 2009 and so on, while on xbox side, there are only mentioning DLC.

[kaveti6616]

I don't know if I should get it. The way you communicate with NPCs in the game does seem a bit silly and annoying and I always thought communication was key in an RPG, but other than that Fable 2 seems awesome. Hmmm. Tough decisions about video games. This is what my life has come to.

[Sangria]

The problem of Fable 2 is not really the communication, you don't really "talk" with people, you just accept their mission, hear random phrases or do an expression to modify their feeling about you (hate, fear, love, attractiveness, etc...).

The problem is that Fable 2 looks like way too much the first Fable, and the battle system is pretty rigid. But if you never played the first Fable, then Fable 2 is a pretty good experience.

[kewlkat007]

Great looking game with great lighting. a little too short for me but I have not yet picked up extra DLC. Fable is a Zelda-like RPG, not Mass Effect when it comes to speech.

[Arnon]

Fable 2 is f***ing gorgeous.

[Lou-Cipher]

Maybe this will help you understand.

19 Exclusives
Metacritic average is 65/100 for all 19 360 exclusives so far.

9/19 or 47.3% of 360 exclusives suck a$$ so far in 2009
10/19 or 52.7% of 360 exclusives are just average so far in 2009
No AAA exclusives so far, and with nothing announced this late in the year, it is not looking good for 360 only owners. (I guess there is always those games that you can also play on the PS3)

[siyrobbo]

The thing is, 360 had one years head start so you should really be comparing PS3's exclusives to last years releases, like how PS3 fans equate PS3 lifetimes sales to last years 360 lifetimes sales

[I did not murder him]

I think Cherry pie was talking about retail games responding to a guy lying about PS3's exclusive standing. You might as well add XNA Community Games. I don't think making a big deal about non top tier games at the beginning of the year is helpful to the PS3 cause. Strange a lot of those games are pretty good.

Despite you list I'm so bored with the PS3 I think about why I bought it sometimes. I rarely turn it on I guess thats why many of PS3's games flop.

I was wondering why you're trolling though?

What you're trying to prove isn't bad but a good sign that the 360 is becoming the PS2 of this generation. I like to see your PS3 list.

[Boldy]

How are metacritic ratings even relevant to a story about potential DLC releases?

[Droid Control]

He's just a troll.

Theres no excuse for that.

Nelson makes sony fans look bad, you guys should put him down.

[Shane Kim]

Just like you make xbots look bad.
Oh wait...

[caffman]

he more than likely is a multi accounter that can bubble himself up anyway

[n to the b]

@6.2 I agree. he's more careful than ultimolu though, doesn't give himself 9 bubbles. but I seem to remember seeing him down to 3 bubbles recently, now all of a sudden he's back up to 5 again. hmmm...

even if it's his SDF pals bubbling him up rather than himself, he is like a broken record - definitely doesn't deserve it!

[Lou-Cipher]

The problem with your theory is:

YOU CANT PLAY SELLS

Plus, I would without hesitation take the PS3's 2009 lineup over the 360's 2008 lineup.

[I did not murder him]

I would without hesitation take the 360's 2009 line-up over the PS3's 2009 line-up and the 360 2008 line-up. The only retail game PS3 has had is boring and is being traded in. The game is busted but it got monster hype so it got good scores. Star Ocean 4 was better than Killzone 2

[siyrobbo]

what are you going on about? i have plenty of games to play but thanks for your concern

[No Way]

I'm sure you would.. But, does that make it better? No.

[Kashadoo]

Hello, user named "I did not murder him". I strongly reccomend you to go to the open zone for fangirls like you, or to get a life - even if it requires such impossible for you actions like going off you house, or even, OH NO, washing before it.

You are strongly pathetic and all your post is PS3 hated, don't you want to become a normal person before you die? Of starvation near your console, I don't know?

[Javier19]

Il be getting the Fable II DLC!

[CypH]

do the xbox fans really want dlc or they're having a hard time swallowing their pride
