    At least on the European (Europan? ;) ) PSN

    Selveria's Mission (Game Pack) £3.19 ($5)
    Edy's Mission (Game Pack) £3.19 ($5)
    Hard Ex Mode £3.19 ($5)

    All separate, no discount for buying all three. 2 maps and a difficulty mode for $15 is very hard to swallow, even though I love VC to death. It's just that it all adds up if you want it all. 1 mission, 5 dollars? I was hoping for a chapter with a couple of missions..

    I'm not sure I'll buy the missions. The Edy one is just completely random, and the Selvaria one seems awesome until you find out it's played on the same map as another mission :/ The Hard Ex mode seems pretty sweet though, even if it is only another difficulty.

    W/e, I won't feel too bad dishing out to support such an amazing product.

    Only if the content is a few megabytes. Otherwise, I'm all for spending another $15 on this game.

    I thought it sounded reasonable, although a bundle would have been nice.

    That's way too expensive. Specially considering one of the missions is focused on Edy... she doesn't have anything special in the story, aside from hating Rosie.

    Maybe I'll take on Selvaria's later on. But I'll wait to see what others have to say about it.

    Great.

    I realize the game didn't perform too well at retail, but that's no reason to screw over the people who actually did buy it. $10 for everything would be tolerable, even with most sites reporting that the DLC would be $5 - which we all assumed would be for everything.

    It wasn't $15 on the Japanese store back when it came out, was it?

    The Edy mission is on an existing map as well (the Vegetable Route Incident or whatever), and it's probably the smallest map in the entire game.

    I really wish it didn't end up this way, but the pricing has made sure that I won't be buying a single piece of this DLC despite my Valkyria love.

    Those are literally just 1 mission each?  Wow, I expected whole campaigns from how they described the stuff...

    The closest thing to these items that I can think of is the Mega Man DLC, which had two difficulty levels, an extended bonus time trial stage, and some costumes. Fortunately, they were all only a dollar. $5 for a difficulty level is really pushing it, I'd say.

    The game does have a hard mode. This is just an even harder mode. Not that this makes the price fair, just wanted to be clear.

    I just saw other people confirming that it was cheaper in Japan. It seems it was around $10 for everything (which I still consider to be a little too expensive, to be honest). These are simples missions, not entire campaigns. It's a shame, but I wont be buying this.
