    It's only the start of the second week of November. Give it some time, it's coming. Trust me as soon as they know they will let us know.

    The problem is that the patch and DLC are coming at the same time, so one might be through Microsoft cert, but the other might not yet. I imagine it's being held up by the patch. Uber haven't said it (no idea why), but the DLC is in cert, think someone said it's been done for a few weeks. Hurry up, Microsoft!

    Microsoft decided carrier pigeons were too efficient, so they requested Uber send it via Jimmy Hoffa's briefcase in the back of Car 54--last spotted in the vicinity of the Alamo's basement.

    The trunk will fly open on November 30th, 11:59:59 PM GST, with a double rainbow leading to the Jack Bot XL's pot-o-gold, flanked by two Supports in viking helmets riding braying, baby unicorns.

    A wallpaper celebrating this momentous occasion would be super awesome.

    Don't forget the frustrated pigeons on strike in the corner, crapping on Pee-wee's bike.

    Tank as Joe E. Ross
    Briefcase clutching Bullseye as Hoffa

    Go!

    Wait...there is a separate patch AND the DLC? What are they patching?

    Am I completely missing something?

    The patch fixes things.

    The DLC is free stuff that adds to the game.

    They can't bundle fixes and the DLC, since the DLC isn't a forced download.

    How do you know?

    Since the first DLC is free, and Microsoft charges developers to patch their games, it would make sense for Uber to bundle it with the update. That would prevent content conflicts for people out of the loop (most Xbox users).

    Several 360 games have resorted to this (e.g. Burnout Paradise). A download key is required to unlock the premium content included with the title update.

    Dj vu :)

    Edit:No wait, I see what you mean. I guess they might do the key thing. It still means people won't have it when you goto your private match but then they can just come back in 5 minutes after downloading the 108kb.

    It's like buying stuff from the Avatar Marketplace.

    Actually, it will be a forced download. I asked this about a week ago, and one of the Devs confirmed it. I never even thought that they could bundle it, I just assumed that they were coming separate

    DLC will be out this month. We can't give you an exact date yet because we don't know ourselves.

    As soon as we know, we'll announce it. :)

    I'm probably trying to squeeze every bit I can out, but when you are given the Ok from the big M do you choose when to release it or do they?

    You guys work at McDonalds right?

    Devs definitely stated that the DLC will be a required download to play online.

    EDIT: Only read the first page :-/

    What is the size of the DLC? My hard drive is running out of space quickly. Thank you, Microsoft, for charging me $150 for a 120GB hard drive when I can buy a 1TB hard drive for my computer for $80.

    There's a lot of content in it like new Voice lines, loading screens, a new music riff and 2 maps. I don't know. I just wanted to say that.

    You can hook your USBs up to the Xbox, I'm sure you know it just reminding.
