THQ to Charge For Xbox Game Packs

Posted by Zonk on from the and-you'll-like-it! dept.

Thanks to Eurogamer for the news that THQ is going to be charging for Full Spectrum Warrior mission packs. This additional content was originally supposed to be available for free (and indeed was shipped with the PC version of the game) via Xbox Live. Players are instead being charged $4.99 for the additional content.

    Microsoft has expressly forbidden the downloading of any content such as patches, game updates, and expasion modules on the XBox Live network.

    That's just plain false. A big factor of Xbox Live is downloading new content and getting updates (including bug fixes) to games. Most content is free, but everything else is (so far) reasonably priced.
