Midnight Club DLC detailed, priced

By Tom Bramwell Published 4 March, 2009

Free and premium South Central options.

Rockstar has announced more details and pricing information for the upcoming Midnight Club: Los Angeles South Central downloadable content.

The pack, which is due out on 12th March, will cost 800 Microsoft Points on Xbox Live and GBP 7.99 on PlayStation Network.

Rockstar also plans to release a free-to-download map pack, which allows access to the new territory - around a third the size of the original city layout - but doesn't fill it out with any content. Using the race editor, however, you could theoretically have plenty of fun without spending a point or pound.

If you can't be bothered to make your own fun though, Rockstar has plenty to serve up, in the form of 26 new races (including six new blitz races), 12 new battle maps, ten new deliveries and over 100 new red-light challenges, with new competitors, a new garage offering new parts, and nine brand new vehicles to race around, each with its own custom body kit.

You can see how it's all shaping up in yesterday's South Central trailer on Eurogamer TV, or head over to our Midnight Club: Los Angeles - South Central DLC screenshot gallery for snaps of the new vehicles and locations.

    Hmmm, so this DLC is more expensive on the PS3... £7.99 vs. £6.80. Yes, it's only £1.19 difference but, still, why is it even more expensive?

    It was the same with Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix too, £10.20 on the 360 but £11.99 on the PS3. Do Sony use a different exchange rate to Microsoft? :?

    Its even cheaper if you buy the points cards online. Amazon had them for £15.21 the other day for 2100 points, so it would have worked out to be £5.79 instead of £6.80.

    This is why ms points work out better then having real currency as with PSN, as stuff is always cheaper on XBL.

    What took so long, and when are we getting some decent SUVs?

    Great game. My favorite racer for years. Will have a hard time resisting this DLC...

  • superjag86 #5 3 years ago

    I fail to understand why it's not the same price on the PSN as the Mirror's Edge DLC (seven quid) which was also 800 points...

    800 points = the new 8.00 pounds

    This game is still way too hard and appears to cheat by throwing traffic at you in the home stretch of key races. Drives me nuts. Yet well made enought to keep me hooked well beyond normal levels of pad throwing frustration.

    Trick is, don't follow the other racers into oncoming traffic (unless you need to). They almost always drive on the wrong side of the road and have an uncanny ability to swerve around oncoming traffic. I found that if I didn't follow them into it, I did a lot better.

    Previously, I had claimed winning 75% of all races. Now that I think about it more, it is more like 55%. Anyway, I think I come in first a little more than anything else, so I like the difficulty level. It feels about right to me.

    There's one race that has the final bend as a hard turn as you come down an offramp and then turn hard under the freeway towards the finish. And five blasted times I skidded around this bend at speed and plowed into the same bastard Chevelle stopped on a sidestreet. Indeed, those Chevelles seem to cause a disproportionate number of crashes...
