    As I've been sternly interrogating and periodically shooting my way through L.A. Noire, I have often wondered when we might start seeing DLC content for the game pop up. For as long as those cases can be, some feel rather fleeting, almost begging you to prolong the investigation just a bit in the hopes of keeping the experience going. Plus, hey, I bought the PS3 version--I want my exclusive bonus case, dammit.

    Well, this seems fun!
    Well, this seems fun!

    I, and other PS3 users will have to wait a bit longer to start downloading all willy-nilly, but for those who are playing the Xbox 360 version of L.A. Noire, Rockstar and Team Bondi today released the first two downloadable cases: "The Naked City." a Vice case, and the traffic case, "A Slip of the Tongue."

    Both of these cases can be downloaded piecemeal for 320 Microsoft Bucks ($4), or you could opt to pay for the Rockstar Pass, which as of now goes for $10 (800 Microsoft Points), though will eventually go up to $12 in June. Buying the pass pre-orders all the scheduled downloadable content through mid-July, and will actually save you 50% in total purchase pricing, provided you plan to get them all.

    Two more cases are scheduled to hit in June and July. "Nicholson Electroplating Disaster," which those who pre-ordered through Best Buy may already have, will hit on June 21st. "Reefer Madness," which is officially my new favorite case before I've even played it, drops on July 12th.

    Additional content available today includes the "Broderick" and "Sharpshooter" suit/gun combos, for $1 and $2 respectively, the "Badge Pursuit" challenge (again, $2) and the Chicago Piano machine gun, which is a free unlock for the Rockstar community.

    How many of you armchair gumshoes out there plan to grab all this stuff?

    Playing on PS3, will have to wait. But when the store comes back up chances are I'll be doing an evil run through with my free copy of Infamous.  
     
    This game is pretty fun. The best photo hunt game with shooting out there.

    I can't tell if the "Reefer Madness" picture is supposed to be a scared-straight sort of thing or the cover of a porn video.

    I watched the movie "Naked City" while waiting for L.A. Noire to arrive in the mail, actually. I'll play all the DLC eventually, but as I just finished the game without being able to access my DLC codes and whatnot, I'm not ready to jump back in for these bits and pieces. I'm all Noired out.

    Some typically generous DLC management from Rockstar here. This, along with the brilliant value of Undead Nightmare and Episodes from Liberty City has long stuck Rockstar as the rulers of DLC on consoles for me.

    So... what, you have to pay 10 bucks + 2 dollars for every DLC case? Doesn't that mean that, unless they do more than 5, the pass is still more expensive?

    Exactly. And because of the I blindly give R* my money, trustning that they will make it more than worth my while in the end. 800 for all future DLC seems like a good deal. Just for the 2 cases and the 2 upcoming cases it seems okay, but I do feel like they have big plans for this game, so I'm guessing there is going to be a lot more DLC coming down the road.

    @heatDrive88: the R* pass itself is only a few KBs, but each piece of content downloads separately as an individual file. That being said it's still frustrating to know that all of the DLC was most likely already made during the production of the core game due to amount of resources it would require to film the actors, record the dialogue, etc.

    No, thanks. Seems a fair price and all, but I'd rather pay $10 for one big DLC package along the lines of Undead Nightmare or some of the Borderlands offers. And you have to know that they have something bigger planned after mid-July. 
    I'm'a wait for that, and hope I still care when it comes.

    So wait is the pass for all future dlc? The article says mid July but aren't they bound to make more dlc after that?  Either way still seems like a pretty cool idea.

    Yeah, and it's a damn shame. Just two weeks ago Bondi said they had two desks (burglary and bunco) ready that were left out of the game. That seemed like an obvious announcement of upcoming dlc.

    Wish I'd read what that pass was before I bought the two DLCs. I assumed it was an Online Pass despite this game not having online. Gutted.

    Interesting, I got the Slip of the Tounge DLC with my pre-order, I am probably going to get the other DLC seperate as I do not have the 800 points to get the pass thing today and by the time the price goes up to 1,200 it would seem to work out cheaper to buy them individually. 
     
    That said, do the other DLC (like the badge challenge) come with the pass or seperate of that?

    So they are basically releasing all the pre-order DLC. I already have 'The Naked City" which was the gamestop pre-order bonus (though you didn't need to pre-order to get it), so the pass isn't quite as interesting to me for just the Walmart case, however I'll sure it will pay off since I see myself buying all the DLC anyways. 
     
    Now if only the PSN Store would make its way back up, I mean it is creeping me out a bit that we haven't heard a peep about the status of that, well except for the Japanese government news.
