    Thats a hefty charge for the lot like...2080 MS points or $30.50...so about £20 for either system in the uk probably...

    Pshaw...maybe one or two of the skin packs...

     This is obviously just a way for EA to make more money (greed is a sin!). I was just starting to like them again >_>

    not interested, although the game is one the best horror games out there, this dlc is not for me.

    That's a lot of downloadable content. Most of it look's kind of pointless and confusing in my eyes. Maybe it's because I haven't played or seen the game in person, I don't know.

    I was hoping for some more levels or somethig like that weapon packs are bogus they should have had these out earlier most have already beat the game and got all the trophies/achievement points.

    Boooo.....skin packs are laaaaaaaaame.  I can only see someone buying skins as a DLC on a multiplayer game.....

    That's sickeningly expensive.

    These seem kinda cool, if not a little pricey. I wonder how that Heavy damage pack affects the already maxed out  weapons on the second play through on impossible?
