    Well technically you will still have to buy it as I HIGHLY doubt it will be free.

          And not extract as much possible profit as possible? Are you mad?

          A girl's gotta have hopes

          I'll love 'em if it's free because IT SHOULD'VE BEEN IN THE GAME IN THE FIRST PLACE

          Same can be said for Versus, and I didn't see that happen. For them to counter a LOT of their low blow commercial tactics (RE: Archives series?), they will have to do a LOT more than a measly free DLC that probably goes on for about an hour or two...that's even ASSUMING it happens.

          I'm crossing my fingers that Capcom have learnt their lesson after the backlash over Versus and have decided to give us fans a free gift as an apology.

          Crossing my fingers very very hard.

          Haha, sure.

          They'll have a conscience and, out of the goodness of their hearts, hand us the DLC.

          Wait, I can hear them laughing while counting their money.

          How dare you all not have faith in gothic girl.

          I have faith that Capcom will be so kind to us as to offer this at $10-12.

          That would be so kind of them to release it so cheap. But a guy can dream can't he?

      RE5 should not be $60 anymore. $40 most for new but just find a used copy for like $25.
