Dead Rising 2‘s standalone, downloadable prologue Case Zero is going to cost a mere five bucks when it becomes available on Xbox LIVE starting August 31.
Even though this is a smart move by Capcom, and totally the right way to go, I can’t help but feel a little shocked by the value pricing.

At such a low barrier to entry, mission accomplished, I’d say. Let’s hope other developers price their download-only prequels similarly. Yes, I’m referring to you, Dead Space Ignition.
