quite a bit pricy if you ask me given it wont cost them anything in terms of packaging and this sort of things.

Yea it's going to be one of the first games to add 250 achievement points through an expansion.

I don't own the 360 version of the game, I would definitely buy a "Game of the Year Edition." Hell if they released the same kind of SKU on PC I might buy it again, again.

How much is 2400 points?

Considering console games have pretty much never had expansions, even if it is $30-$40 it is cheaper than a whole new game which is the typical path on this sort of thing.

It's something like $12 (US dollars) for 1000 points, so close to 30 bucks? Yikes.

And to add insult to injury, you have to buy 500/1000 point chunks, so you'll need to buy even more than its price to get it.

$30 was standard for full expansion packs before games were even $60..and people should know by now that the savings found in digital distribution don't get passed on to the customer. Just compare the game prices you find on Steam to their retail counterparts, which you'll often find cheaper at a real store, on a real disc.

It's about 32€ for 2100p here in Sweden if you buy a "point pack" in a store, so it should be about 36€ for the expansion, and that isn't all that much considering the amount of new stuff.
