all the information right here

I guess $10.00 = 3 extra weeks of waiting

But, i have one question, are the wonders connected to a current technology, or will a new tech be unlocked

Well that is some ass. I don't get a gift for my purchase at FYE.

Probably current tech but who knows.. Also it's useless if you can't use it in multi.. In my opinion anyway..

What do you mean $10 = 3 Extra weeks of waiting? You spend no more money and get free goodies that can be downloaded in a few weeks, you can still play the normal game.

So what about those of us who won't have all the DLC? How will multyplayer play work with the people who do have it? Will it just be we wont be able to play ranked matches or will we just not be matched with people who do have it?

i mean they give you free dlc (about 800 microsoft points = 10.00

While the uk got the game about 3 weeks earlier

They could do what halo 3 does, separate the the non dlc games from the dlc games

well thats a really . .. .. .. . idea

if you want to kill ur multiplayer gaming then make it impossible for large groups to play each other

no, the DLC noted here will be for single player only.

Yeah thats what I figured, but these goodies are worth those extra three weeks because they still wouldve shipped it to us later anyways, the games are probably manufactured in China, easier shipping to Europe.

Seems like there's no DLC for the NDS? BTW, why don't they just call it DC instead of DLC? Also, don't you hate acronyms?

Downloadable Content. DLC is a well-known term, such as the Halo 3 maps. etc. Acronyms FTW!

Right, it's Downloadable Content, not Down Loadable Content. It should be DC, not DLC. :rolleyes:

Well most people us DL for DownLoad. Why change it to DC to make a statement when DLC is easier for everybody.

I'm getting the Best Buy version. I plan on playing SP mostly anyway.

I can't imagine they're planning to sell each of these for $10. I'd consider paying $1 and maybe a bit more for any single set. I'd consider paying $5 for the lot of them (i.e., for all the items listed as given away from Target, Best Buy, and Gamestop). But $10 for one single set? No way.

Do you think adding "Ancient Wonder: Lighthouse of Alexandria, Medieval Wonder: Leaning Tower of Pisa, Industrial Wonder: Scotland Yard, Modern Wonder: SETI, Artifact 1: Camelot, Artifact 2: Tower of Babel" to the game is worth $10?

also, for those of you wanting to know, this is what all the wonders and and artifacts give you!

i guess its going to be $5 (400 microsoft xbox points)

I went to Circuit City and didn't get the free poster (I was the first one there to buy the game), so if you're still considering buying it, I would avoid Circuit City! :mad:

those are some nice bonuses for wonders/relics!

A few years ago they laid off all their higher paid, knowledgable clerks and replaced them with minimum-wage earners. The result has been predictable.

The CC near me closed a few years ago, and it surprised no one. The help there was always AWFUL -- they'd just stand around talking to each other when you were looking for help. My in-laws recently went to another one, on the other side of town, for something and said they had the exact same experience. It seems to be a common CC issue!
