While browsing the Xbox Live Marketplace today, I came upon a new item for UFC 2009 Undisputed which offers two new fighters, Ryan Bader and Efrain Escudero. What struck me as odd is the description accompanying the DLC. As you can see in the above picture, this item costs 320 Microsoft Points. However, the description states “Download these free roster additions…” Did I miss something here?
I may have slept through a couple classes in college, but last time I checked, free did not equate to $4. Requests to Microsoft and THQ were not returned by press time, but we’ll keep you posted when we hear from them regarding this confusion.
[Update] Yes, I am aware that these are the same fighters that were offered as pre-order bonuses as GameStop.
The add-on is apparently only free to those who pre-ordered from GameStop.

They suck anyway better getting a Junie Browning add on
I think Loot Ninja should lead the way by sending me some free Loot Ninja merchandise! I would be happy to do a guest review of shirts, hats, consoles *ahem*, etc.
Maybe it means “free roster” like how other sports have “free agents?” I’m not familiar with UFC at all though so I could be very very wrong.
These days “Free” doesn’t always it is really free. There is so much marketing out there, they just wanna hook you on something.
