    This man would like to speak to you about car insurance. Also, broken legs insurance.

    2K Games is hoping that you haven't soured on the whole "one-time use code for first-time buyers" thing by the time Mafia II is released, because the PS3 version is going to come with a voucher allowing players to get "The Betrayal of Jimmy" for free. This DLC pack, which is listed as a PS3 exclusive, will also go on sale for $9.99 on the game's release date, August 24.

    The pack sounds a little weird when you consider that the rest of Mafia II is a pretty typical open-world shooting-and-driving experience. It's described as "arcade-style," and players will be able to compete on online leaderboards as they run through the Betrayal pack's "dozens" of missions.

    Another downloadable offering, called Jimmy's Vendetta, is also briefly mentioned in this morning's release. Unlike the Betrayal missions, Vendetta will be available on all three platforms. Like the other pack, though, Vendetta will offer leaderboards and replayable missions. No release timing has been announced for Jimmy's Vendetta just yet.

    I just hope the console versions are not going to be terrible ports like with the first Mafia. If so, then I'm getting it on PC. DLC or no DLC.

    I don't know why Mafia II needs to be on a console. I have a feeling the PC version will be the best. GTA works great on a console, Mafia does not. We'll see come August 24.

    I glanced at this news heading and read "Mafia I to Offer Free PS3 to First-Time Buyers." 
     
    Now I'm disappointed.

    This is fucking retarded.  The PC version will have the best graphics and particle effects and destructible environments (there is a video somewhere on the site).  But the PS3 will have the bonus missions.  So which do I buy?  Fucking stupid. Pisses me off.  Big time.

    Does this unlock the Joker as a playable character for the PS3 version?

    Mafia 1 is one of my favorite games of all time. It's a shame I won't be able to enjoy this DLC...
