Ace Combat 6 DLC totals $120+ and growing

We've joked around about the amount of and how crazy expensive Ace Combat 6's downloadable content is, but never really pulled out our calculators to get the full picture. But the crew at 1UP did and their findings will make AC6 fanboys' jaws fall to the floor.

Let's get to it. The grand total of all of AC6's DLC (including new jets, skins, new missions and multiplayer modes) equals an astonishing $121.83 or 9,750 Microsoft points. Add to that the cost of the game itself and you've got a $181 "complete" AC6 experience. Outrageous! After doing the math, 1UP was able to ask NAMCO about the numerous / crazy expensive DLC and were given the standard we "pay very close attention to user feedback and comments", blah, blah, blah marketing runaround. But most interesting is the fact that NAMCO refused to answer 1UP's questions about certain items' pricing, what was up with the Beautiful Katamari paid unlocks and how they'll treat Soul Calibur IV DLC. On second thought, maybe NAMCO has taken the crown from EA for being most evil DLC developer.

AC6 just can't get enough jet fighter DLC

You can't hate a developer for trying to consistently milk one of their successful titles for some quick cash. Oh wait, yes you can and in this case, we will. Namco is planning on releasing their second third fourth umteenth set of Ace Combat 6 downloadable content this Thursday, March 27th featuring six new jets ranging from free to 400 Microsoft points, a Co-op Battle Download #2 and an Ace of Aces Mission #2 pack. Those two packs are 300 points apiece. All calculated, if you wanted all the new AC6 DLC it'll set you back 2100 Microsoft points. Or you can save your cash and wait until next month, when (almost like clockwork) Namco will probably scam you out of your points with some more expensive DLC. Oh, and for the handful who are interested, tomorrow's DLC details are posted after the jump.

AC6 receives a game enhancing title update

If all the (expensive) Ace Combat 6 downloadable content has kept you flying the Liberation skies then today you should notice a title update pop-up the next time you take off for the skies. The game enhancing (buzz words FTW!) update will make a few minor modifications to AC6's online play as well as a few HUD changes. All in all, it's a lovely title update that should make "pew, pew, pew"ing aircrafts even more enjoyable than it already is. And because we care, a complete list of title update changes can be viewed after the break.

Even more overpriced AC6 DLC flies in next Thur

Today, Namco announced another set of downloadable content for Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation and again, it's way overpriced. The new DLC will drop next Thursday, February 28th and include a free "F-117A Night Hawk – General Emblem". But that's the only free stuff you're getting. Other DLC includes four jets that range in prices between 200 and 400 Microsoft points apiece (crazy pricey) as well as four other pieces of DLC. There will be a new "Battle Royale" multiplayer map (100 MS points) as well as "Co-op Battle", "Siege Battle" and "Ace of Aces Mission" downloads each costing 300 MS points. AC6 is officially turning into one of the most expensive games on the 360 as we say boo to overpriced jet fighter DLC. BOO! BOO! BOO!

New AC6 DLC scheduled for landing next Thurs

In an effort to make a few quick bucks, team Namco has plans to release yet another set of semi-overpriced Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation DLC next week. Oh joy! The new DLC will land onto the XBLM tarmac on Thursday, January 31st and consist of four jets that cost 200 Microsoft points each (CFA-44 Nosferatu Prototype, Tornado GR4 Raging Shark, F-14D Super Tomcat Razgriz and Su-33 Flanker Yellow Squadron), one jet that costs a pain inducing 400 points (Su-47 Berkut The Idolmaster Miki-EX) and one that'll be gratis (Typhoon UPEO Emblem). And we have a sneaking suspicion that most AC6 gamers will be solely picking up the Typhoon UPEO Emblem ... just saying.

Ace Combat 6 to get classic and anime DLC

Dropping from the clear blue Winter skies to the XBLM this Wednesday, December 19th will be brand new Ace Combat 6 downloadable content featuring some classic jets and anime artwork. The DLC pack will come with six new jet fighters including favorites from older Ace Combat games like AC2's Mirage 2000-5, AC4's F-22A Raptor and the jolly good times A-10A Thunderbolt – Xmas. Pricing information isn't available just yet, but expect it to be in line with AC6's other downloadable gems. Oh, and also know that Namco is planning to release a new team battle map in the coming weeks, so keep your ears perked for that. So much AC6 DLC, watcha gonna do?

Ace Combat 6 DLC flies in on Wednesday

According to the guys over at 1UP, Namco will be releasing new Ace Combat 6 downloadable content to the Marketplace this Wednesday. The DLC will be five separate fighter planes (Su-33 Flanker, F16C, Mirage 2000-5, A-10A and a A-18F) each costing an unannounced amount of Microsoft points with one being a free download. Though, we're not exactly sure which jet will be offered for free. But no matter, new fighter jets are inbound this Wednesday, so try and ration your weekly allotment of jet fuel and stock up on snack cakes.
