Two new DLCs announced in the last few days.
Far Cry 2: Fortune's Pack (360, PS3)
Price: 800 MS Points ($9.99)
Release: TBA
Content: Three new weapons:
Two new vehicles:
Four new MP maps:
No word on a release for PC yet but it'll probably be free for PC in a few months time. Therefore console owners pay for exclusivity. Price is a little steep too, especially considering that, with enough time and effort, the maps could be made with the editor...
Fable 2: Knothole Island (360)
Price: 800 MS Points ($9.99)
Release: Mid-December
Content:
Hundreds of years ago, the tribe from Knothole Glade discovered the existence of an island far off the mainland said to offer its inhabitants full control over their weather. Tired of constant Balverine attacks and damp, dreary weather, the tribe elders decided they would find this mythic island and settle there. The ancient civilisation who originally lived on the island created the magical artifacts that control the weather, and hid them in dangerous caves so that their warriors would be tested every year.
3 New Characters
The Chieftain
He?s middle-aged and a typical, slimy politician. He takes credit for everything the Hero does when things go right, and is quick to blame anyone else when they go wrong. Puffed up, avaricious, self-important, uses big words.
Jessica
Owner of the Box of Secrets shop, where explorers can trade for extraordinary items she has collected over the years. She?s independent and one of the few people who stands up to the Chieftain.
Gordon
A shy inventor who is sent to mainland Albion in his submarine to find a Hero to save the island from the freezing weather. He spends most of his time creating incredible items such as the Flying Lute Axe, and having spent all his life on a small island, is amazed by the bridges and cranes he sees in Bowerstone.

This is the level of content we should be getting from DLC especially as it'll only have been 6 weeks since release. This may get me playing Fable 2 again for a brief while.
Both of these pale in comparison to The Lost and Damned for GTA4 though. :E
