GRAW update available now on Xbox Live

Grumblings and mutterings at excessive cost

Posted by Staff
SPOnG told you all the details you needed to know about the new GRAW update earlier this month. So if you are a keen Advanced Warfighter then you will have been waiting for the day and time for all this new content to arrive.

That day and time is now. You can head over to Xbox Live Marketplace and buy up GRAW Chapter 2 right now, for a mere 1200 Microsoft points.

Well, we say mere. There has been mutterings and grumblings all over the Internet that perhaps this price (around £10 or $15) is too excessive for the additional content.

Whilst it is one of the priciest downloads available on Marketplace, SPOnG feels that the price is fair and justified. Chapter 2 delivers a load of good, solid new game play, it includes four new maps for cooperative play, eight maps relit to portray different times of day for competitive multiplayer battles, five new weapons, two new game modes, 2 new camouflage patterns, and four new faces for soldiers.

At 725MB it's also one of the biggest downloads on Marketplace right now.

Let us know what you think. If you are a fan of GRAW, are you prepared to spend £10/$15 to get all this additional content? Or do you feel, as many seem to, that Ubisoft are trying to rip customers off with this pricey add-on?

Well they won't be gettin' a penny from me until they sort out the southpaw controls...give ME some support and I might just return the favour.

It does seem a bit steep though. I think 500m$ pts for 4 maps (a la PDZ) is about right.
