When you go to purchase either the standard or limited edition of Alan Wake, keep in mind that buying used — or renting from GameFly, etc. — means you’ll have to pay for the first downloadable content pack. In each new copy, a token card can be found, as is steadily becoming the norm for this industry.
We don’t know when the first Alan Wake add-on will be out, or what it’s even about, really. Perhaps Remedy will say more once we get closer to the game’s release next month. That would probably be a wise idea, you know, so everyone has an idea of what their $59.99 will get them going in.
Jim is currently playing the game for review, and I’m jealous beyond all belief. Look forward to hearing his thoughts in the near future.
