Maybe download some planes News

Xbox 360 News by Tom Bramwell

21 December, 2007

Namco Bandai has released six downloadable aeroplanes for downloading on Xbox Live Marketplace download place. Each of them costs 200 Microsoft Points, except the one that costs 400 Microsoft Points, and the other one which is free. So, several of them cost 200 Microsoft Points. Get off my back.

What are the planes then? They are the Mirage2000-5 Scarface Emblem (free), the F-22A Raptor Mobius (200), the F-15E Strike Eagle Cipher (200), I have never been so bored in my entire life, the F-15E Strike Eagle Pixy (200), the A-10A ThunderBoltII Xmas (200) and the F-117A Night Hawk - The Idolmaster Yuhiko (400). Interestingly, the Mobius one is in the press release but not on Major Nelson's DLC update. Actually, that's not interesting.

So, download them, if you want. The game's jolly good, apparently. "Ace Combat 6 can be our wingman any time," said Rob Fahey, evidently having an off day. Is it "the eternal struggle", too, Rob? Perhaps it's a mixed bag? Doesn't know how to use semi-colons either, by the look of it. It's okay - he doesn't know where I live.

What the smeg is the justification behind making The Idolm@ster plane(s) twice the price as all the rest, and 400 Points more expensive than free?

Bet u its an experiment thingy to monitor how many people will just get the free one, how many will pay up to 200 points and how many people will just get *all* the content anyway...

@BBIAJ

It's just some fanboy tax. Serves them right really. Although, I'd totally be buying it too if I had Ace Combat 6.

It sucks, we get Idolm@ster picture packs, and now Idolm@ster planes, but no actual Idolm@ster!

What the deuce!?

Are these new planes or just skins for existing ones?

I have literally no idea what Idolmaster is. Looks like young ladies painted on jet fighters. The point eludes me, because you do not see yours or anybody else's aircraft all that well during a game.

Too expensive.

They're probably sat there already on the disc, waiting to be unlocked.

@ gizmo:

I'm guessing by the file sizes that this is all new content, as they run into several megs worth each.

Pfft.

I might be tempted to shell out for extra missions, but new planes? No thanks.

FabricatedLunatic? - is that a Terris reference?......I must have found the other person that bought their album!

On topic though - I'll be buying this game after Christmas, but I wouldn't bother getting these....doesn't seem worth it for purely cosmetic additions.

It'll obviously go down well in Japan, though...

The paid colour schemes aren't a massive draw at the moment. Even if they do modify the plane stats.

Actual new planes would be.

Tom, you're a legend. You make news stories that don't interest me well worth reading!

Yes it is, and you're the first person to recognise it. I guess we really were the only ones who bought the album. To think that Coldplay were once their support act...

Indeed....and they blew them offstage most nights....

I managed to catch them at Reading before they split up - real shame, could've been a really great band
