A handful of Dead Space 2 add-on packs went live on Xbox Live Marketplace the other afternoon, adding some powerful weapons and armors with unique bonuses. If you’re the type of guy who doesn’t mind ponying up real dough in exchange for this kind of stuff, it looks like you’ve got several equally appealing packs to choose from.



But as is typical on Marketplace, there's not a lot of information about what you're actually getting in these packs. Luckily, GameFAQs user “Vickers Zombie” put together a list of the contents of all three packs, all of which are available for 400 Microsoft Points and weigh in at a hefty 108KB a piece according to a Destructoid news posting [meaning all this content is likely already on the game disc. Ugh. - Ed.] . At a glance, I’d probably grab the “Supernova Pack” without a doubt, but the ”Martial Law Pack” and the “Occupational Hazard Pack” are almost as enticing.

== TEASER ==In case you just jumped on the Dead Space bandwagon with EA Visceral 's follow-up (dude, it's really, really good , right?), note that the Dead Space series never shies from micro-transactions. The original had a decent assortment of stuff to pick from, while the very recent iOS release offers Power Nodes at a premium.
