    What the hell is this?

    Xbox LIVE Marketplace | Transformers: WFC

    It's in an offers section and says it's a map and character pack including all the pre-order characters and Onslaught and Scattershot.

    Release date 01/01/0001 :lol 

    Maybe this wasn't supposed to go up just yet. If true, it's cool.

    Edit : Here's what it says.

    Become the ultimate weapon and wage war in four new maps – engage in multiplayer combat in HAVOC and FORTRESS or fend off waves of Autobots in DISTRICT, and Decepticons in FORSAKEN, two new Escalation mode maps. Also gain access to 5 characters and their chassis for use in Escalation mode and Multiplayer character creation; SCATTERSHOT, ONSLAUGHT, DEMOLISHOR, SHOCKWAVE and JAZZ are ready for battle. Fight to the end in the war that started it all! There are no refunds for this item. For more information, see www.xbox.com/live/accounts.

    Damn, now that's sexy. Glad I was wrong about the pre-order characters <3
    Sucks for everyone who bought them on ebay for WAY too much though.

    War for Cybertron DLC listing on Xbox Live.

    Saw someone had found this listing on another message board, I've already posted it in the WFC section but I'll put it in the news one too.

    Xbox LIVE Marketplace | Transformers: WFC

    Listing for a Map and character pack for WFC.

    Become the ultimate weapon and wage war in four new maps – engage in multiplayer combat in HAVOC and FORTRESS or fend off waves of Autobots in DISTRICT, and Decepticons in FORSAKEN, two new Escalation mode maps. Also gain access to 5 characters and their chassis for use in Escalation mode and Multiplayer character creation; SCATTERSHOT, ONSLAUGHT, DEMOLISHOR, SHOCKWAVE and JAZZ are ready for battle. Fight to the end in the war that started it all! There are no refunds for this item.

    The release date is all weird but I'm wondering if this is just a place holder for now or wasn't supposed to be put up/be seen just yet. And no you can't download anything yet.

    I think it was more of a surprise that people didn't think these characters would be available in the form of DLC at a future date than seeing this.

    Preorder bonus products are not really a big deal anymore. I liked it better when you got a physical item instead of something in game.

    I'm not familiar with Xbox live market place at all, but it does say "Download to Xbox" underneath the title of the DLC

    I don't think we were supposed to see it yet, or the listing isn't complete yet.
    Thus why the date is crazy and it says it's only available via a prepaid code.

    I tried to get it but it requires a redemption code, which I obviously don't have...or do I? No, I don't.

    Very very nice. I guess we just have to wait for the official announcement from Activision.

    And made a lot of people who bought the codes (not me, for the record) upset. Watch.

    So far it seems the PS3 folks are being over looked as well. My understanding is ONLY 360 has seen the patch for the XP. So I dont feel so bad.

    I've been wondering if it might have something to do with PSN. Let's see what happens come Tuesday.
