"Scamco" are at it again with their rip-off Downloadable Content. This time it's Magna Carta II. According to Destructoid: "For 400 Microsoft Points, you can download a 'Bonus Pack' that includes three comedy cutscenes and twelve weapons for the game's six main characters."
And that's not even the worst deal. Apparently Namco is selling Japan the cutscenes separately for 320 Points each, and two of the weapons for 320 Points as well.
Ouch!

"Atlus has always specialized in bringing off-the-wall, unique RPGs to America, so this game will likely be one to watch. In the mean time, let's wonder why the Xbox 360 has become the bastion for JRPG games this generation. With Final Fantasy, Star Ocean, and the Tales Of franchises in tow, alongside countless other JRPGs, there are few current-generation entries into the genre that don't hit the Xbox 360. Weird, isn't it? The 360 is basically a Suikoden, Persona, Wild Arms, and Breath of Fir..."
