DLC for pre-orders?

[mattd27]

Ahhh this sucks. I probably wouldn't buy the DLC planes right away, but it would be frustrating to be unable to play with people just because they DL'd a couple of planes.

I know in some games like Burnout Paradise and Midnight Club there are cars available to download, but having those cars doesn't mean you can't play with others who don't have the cars.

I don't see why this game can't just set it up that way.

it says on uk site that the 2 planes are p-47d and ta152h1, in the plane list it says u can use p-47 but is it the same p-47 or a diff model and will the ta152 be in us version, or is it like call of duty were if u pre order all u get is to unlock the carbine at lvl 1 insted of lvl 65????

Looks like it's only on the Xbox!? PS3 pre-order gets you a... Theme!?

Spose you get to take pictures on PS3. Hmmm...

Well that duly sucks, I'll admit I've heard on this site some people saying that the two planes will be available as DLC for both games on Day 1 but I feel a bit unsure. Perhaps should contact publishers directly. If not, may order both copies and in case this turns out to be true, return for a full refund the 360 copy. Whilst graphically was said to be slightly better, 360 is too noisy and PS3 takes more flightsticks options (bought a 2nd hand Ace Edge which was crap).

it says that it unlocks with codes so if someone buys it and he puts the code on this site we will al have the 2 planes

[SleepTrgt]

Its a code like a pre paid code. so only usable once.

My take on special DLC that people get for preordering is that they will be able to play with everyone, its just that everyone that doesn't have the 2 planes will not be able to use them and will have to compete against the planes.

I can't believe that the dlc will be that expensive for just 2 planes, so I imagine it would still work out cheaper to get the game from one of the sites offering it for about £27-£28 and just buy the planes as dlc, I can't see that the combined cost would be anywhere near the £39.99 that Game are charging

[David603]

Maybe 200 or 300 MS pts (£1.60-2.40 approx) for both planes at a guess. Shouldn't really cost more than that.

Yea battlestations pacific had 6 new units for 160 Ms points
