Does anyone have any idea what the DLC content holds? The descriptions on XBL and PSN are terrible. I cannot find any information on the three packs.

Dead Space, man. It's good. I'm on chapter 6. The end of chapter 5 was fucking sweet.

It's definitely in the thread around here somewhere. There was a link to a Gamespot page that detailed every last bit of the content.
Beyond that, sorry man.

Armor and weapons. The weapons have bonuses to speed, damage, reload, etc. The armor has bonuses to damage, medkits, telekinesis, etc.

Ah, thanks guys. The Super Nova pack looks worth it to me since I love my plasma cutter so much ><

First review at Amazon says it uses Securom w/ 5-machine limit. Thought EA was easing up on the DRM?
hmmmm made it to the end of chapter 3 on zealot for my first run...really thinking about dropping down to hardened...so many deaths (which i'm ok with), but the VERY limited ammo feels almost unfair, we'll see - but i thoroughly expect the endgame encounters to be total bullshit at this rate.
still amazing so far though, even the match i played of multiplayer was great, and i didn't think it'd be very good. bring on the horde mode/onslaught mode dlc please!

My progress so far...
Dead Space Extraction - Finished Chapter 1.
WOW! The Move + Nav is really fun!! The aiming is so smooth and precise. I really enjoyed this. I've never been a fan of on-rails shooters, but this game really hit the spot for me. The little "puzzles" during hacking and the story in general really keep my interest. I like it.
Dead Space 2 - Finished Chapter 1.
So far so good. IMO the graphics are definitely improved over the first. Things just look a lot cleaner and crisp. The attention to detail in the game is great, everything looks awesome. Love the lighting effects as well. The gameplay feels just like the first (which is good IMO...I didn't want them to change that at all) and so far the story seems good.
Maybe I've been desensitised due to Dead Space 1, but I don't feel as scared with this one so far. I jumped a couple times just due to sudden loud noises, but the monsters haven't really freaked me out the same way yet. Either way, it's still enjoyable and gives me the creeps lol.
Hopped on one match of multiplayer before I quit for the night. Played some mode where the humans have to transmit a bunch of signals in order to win. At first it was a little confusing but after a minute I understood what was going on and won the game as necromorphs and humans. Didn't notice any lag at all and it was actually pretty fun. I was really skeptical and anti-multiplayer for this game, but they really made it pretty cool.
Really happy with this game.

Is there anyway to get extraction on the ps3 without getting DS2?

Nice, thanks for the answer, did they up res everything from the wii? Wanted to get this game, but really dislike the wiis controls so wanted to try it on the move.
Pretty sure Extraction is the best not-so-on-rails shooter I have ever played. I'm at chapter... heck if I remember (
) and the amount of gameplay solutions built upon such a simple premise is impressive. Hacking while shooting parts are genius.
Quite surprised by the quality of lip syncing and facial animations too. And the camera work is amazing.
Move works perfectly (playing it vanilla, without the Navi): fast, precise, cool. And I almost dig the graphics more than those of DS2. Don't get me wrong, two worlds apart, but I can't stand the jaggies (present in DS2) and there are none to be found in Extraction. Love how clean it looks.
right after the sewer boss

Honestly I never played the Wii version, but IMO the graphics look better than a Wii game.
I mean, in the 1+ hour I spent in the game I never once thought "man this looks ugly" or anything like that. It was actually pretty nice. Menus really look nice and slick too.
If trophy hunting is your thing, it also has 48 trophies and a platinum. Really quite an awesome game.
Just curious though, why not just buy DS2 and get this game as a freebie?
Just go through the first 3 chapters, game is much, much better than I expected.
I might just be using it wrong, but is the
the crappiest gun there is? I'm glad I didn't waste any power nodes on it before trying it out.
Found it amusing that the Hacker Suit somehow has triple the armor of the miner rig suit.
Can't wait to get my Jehuty suit!

Uh because EA wants to get paid? Either you buy it from the PSN store or you buy DS2. I doubt they'd be fine if people just rented DS2 or MoH and got Frontline or Extraction for free.
EA ain't Santa Claus.
Square Triangle said:
They could have handled it differently. In retail copies only they could have included a one-time-use voucher code that unlocks DS Extraction on the PSN store for you to download. Wouldn't this work?
Then if you rent it or buy it used, you don't get this voucher, and therefore you don't get Extraction for free.

True, they didn't account for those who buy used. Either way, I don't see the huge issue of having the disc in the drive =O

So did people play extraction and ignition before they started DS2 to get the bonus stuff?
I am installing extraction now.

I think I might be the only guy who liked the Rivet Gun... I love firing a bunch of nails/rivets and then blowing guys up from the inside out... but in the second half of the game, it becomes far less useful.

I really prefer the 360 controller more, plus all my friends have 360's. So if I want to get into a few MP matches to play with them I can.
holy FUCK
I've been playing the game in 5.1 but decided to try it with my headphones on because my gf is sleep. goddamnit. Within a few minutes of loading my save goddamn necromancer scared the SHIT out of me. To the point that I was spamming the RT button not hitting shit and I ran out of ammo lolol

Playing on Zealot, I've been reluctant to change up from the plasma cutter although I DO need some area attacks for the swarms and packs of baby-slashers.
Ammo can get a bit dicey at times and I do have a chance to use the free rivet gun and ammo I've scrounged up.
How many rivets, after detonating does it take to squash a necro?

Five or six shots with a subsequent detonation seems to work for me, though if they're all center-mass, then it's a crapshoot.

Fuckin necromorphs...someone oughta do something about them.
So can anyone speak to DS2 being similar to DS1 in something I've speculated on but never confirmed.
Playing DS1...a great deal, I seemed to get ammo drops for the weapons I was carrying more often than not. Sure...there was other drops but it was predominantly for the weapons I was carrying.
So I started only carrying around two weapons and I ended up more often than not with the ammo I needed.
So...has anyone noticed if that was the same for DS2?

It's similar for me, though occasionally I'll see ammo for other weapons, but very rarely. Mostly just ammo for whatever I'm carrying.

Before playing I saw a few comments like "holy fucking christ the game is amazing" and thought it was just new Car syndrome.
Just gotta say it is pretty damn great. They really upped the cinematic feeling in this, the game is insanely polished. The graphics have me stopping in each room and look around, which I rarely do in most games.
Can't wait to dig deeper
