The Outfit Map Pack Now Free |
Ó
What once cost moolah is now free? Xboxic is reporting that the Collateral Damage Map Pack for The Outfit is now available for free. Originally, it cost 500 Microsoft Points for this 52.80 MB download from the Xbox Live Marketplace. So why is it free now? Well, could it be related to the latest update of The Outfit?
The three maps included in this Map Pack - The Bleak Mile, Eagle's Nest and The Luftwaffe Finale - have been available for download since May.
The important thing to think about here is that Xbox Live content that once cost money is now free. Will this be a trend in the near future? It took awhile, but we've seen this happen before with Halo 2 map packs; however, it was announced from the get go that the Halo 2 map packs would become free at a later date.
Will more content become cheaper or free in the future? Could less popular or overly expensive downloads go this route? We can all hope so.

I know several other xbox games where maps used to cost money for example, both of the latest splinter cells offered map packs for a fee, but now they r free.
It could be free, because no one is ever playing this game?
Great game, don't know if it's just an under rated game or what...
But everytime I hop on to see if anyone is playing it, can't ever find a match.
Yeah I enjoyed it, but maybe it's a little too arcadey for the people that think they are hardcore
It is a bummer for the people that paid, but no doubt they had some fine print somewhere that said that the price may change at a later date, ie become free...
The real question is if other games do this, are they going to reimburse people? I'm sure they won't but isn't that a rip off for those who did blow money on this stuff?
"The real question is if other games do this, are they going to reimburse people? I'm sure they won't but isn't that a rip off for those who did blow money on this stuff?"
what about games that get a price cut just a few months after it comes out?
or the games that get thrown into the low-price bin?
happens all the time. This is the first time. And I'm willing to bet it isn't the last.
Yea it *****ING sucks...but hey..that's life.
should you buy something new? or wait till its so cheap its practically free?
(don't say my metephors aren't great...because yes there is a difference between a map pack that is a couple of dollars and a game/electronic device that can be anywhere from 50-100$...but it still can be classified as being "riped off" genearlly speaking...not my opinion...but for cheapskates...it is theirs.)
