Some people were very lucky this morning to get the new Midnight Club DLC before it was pulled by Rockstar. I wish I was up this morning to grab it, but I would hate to take $$ away from Rockstar/Take2 with our economy the way it is...

Today’s discovery is that Rockstar’s upcoming ‘South Central expansion pack’ arrived on Xbox Live for the apparent price of NOTHING. The map addition was always going to be a freebie, but the new cars, missions, races, etc. had been reported as premium. This morning’s reveal suggested otherwise however, as the 1.4GB download showed up with no cost attached.

    Community Manager Graeme Boyd, Xbox EMEA:

    The Marketplace team has mentioned to me that a batch of Midnight Club: LA content went up accidentally on Xbox LIVE Marketplace this morning. It has since been removed, but you may have had the chance to download it while it was up there. If you did and if it's sitting on your hard drive you should delete it - reason being that it wasbeing tested when it was mistakenly put live and therefore it may not work properly, the Achievements won't register and could cause you problems with your Midnight Club: LA game saves.

    Sorry for the mistake and sorry for the hassle, but if you did download the content best thing to do is delete it. I'll let you know when it's up for real!

      Ok, I eat my words. I am actually glad I wasn't around this morning to be tempted by a Marketplace team accident.

        If I got the free DLC I would go ahead and call their bluff, it sounds like lies to me.

    They should at least offer a refund for all those who were mistaken when downloading it.
