    You should be able to download it now, surely?
    If not, it's sometime today that it's being released.

    Apparently 8pm for the PC players in the UK. Doubt I will get this pack myself unless it hits a steam sale soon.

    It's currently "on sale" at £10.79

    Literally the most money grabbing company EVER! They make me feel sick.

    Exactly, and with two of the maps being from CoD4 :/ This is why I am waiting till it hits a steam sale or hits half price on the 360. Whichever comes first. Bad Company 2 is taking most my time at present anyway

    Re: MW2: Stimulus Pack DLC

    it's a load of BS, never buy that stuff. In a true PC game modders would've made thousands of maps by now for free. And quite a lot of them would be better and more creative too. It's just for the people playing on consoles because they're gullible and don't know any better.

    If you buy it you support them in their goal to ultimately get everyone on closed off tard-boxes where they can stop anyone getting to nasty altruistic non-monetising content.

    That's quite a blanket statement there. I am a PC gamer and have been for over 10 years but yet I also play consoles. DLC to me is a very limited item. I will only buy it if it extends the game or adds considerable gametime to the original game.

    However, DLC is slowly creeping into PC gaming and it will take place more over the future I reckon. Either way there will always be those games that will have sdk's out there and will allow the modders to produce maps and add-on's that we all love and play.

    The problem is, dev's and studio's and publishers all see how profitable the DLC is and I wouldn't be surprised if you see this a hell of a lot more on the PC side of things :/

    Oh dear...

    I echo Grey's sentiment, I mean, how many WoW players go out and buy the equivalent of horse-armour every time something is produced by Blizzard.
    Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
    CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
    TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

    I mean they literally don't know any better, they've never seen free skins or programs to make their own so it's perfectly acceptable for them to buy it.

    When you've played stuff like half-life, half-life 2, seen the ridiculous amount and variety of free mods it just looks like a con. It's also quite possibly going to kill future innovation... Left 4 Dead started out as a counterstrike mod. I think quite a few games have started based off good ideas from amateurs playing games which then went professional. Those ideas would have likely just remained in peoples' heads in the glorious future of publisher-only "DLC".

    world of warcrap players don't count, those are Special cases.

    You mean Activision... Infinity Ward don't exist any more, and probably had little to do with screwing over the punters even when they did.

    Re: MW2: Stimulus Pack DLC

    Save 10% on pre-order Steam said, so I did (yeah I know...)

    UK Price - £10.99
    10% - £1.099
    Cost after saving - £9.891
    Price I paid - £10.79

    Since when has £0.20 been 10% of £10.99?

    Do I ask Steam for a refund?

    Oh and the all important review ... it's a bag of horsecrap - I should have known better - limited game modes on the "new" maps - brilliant. I'm so pleased.
