Xbox Gaming in South Africa

Rockstar Games has released a host of new downloadable content - both paid and free - for the excellent detective adventure L.A. Noire onto the Xbox LIVE Marketplace, including the new "Rockstar Pass" - "a new way to pre-order DLC", and access all seven paid premium DLC packs with one purchase.

Basically, the Rockstar Pass bundles both today's and upcoming premium DLC into one Marketplace item, and for a "limited-time", you'll be able to get it all for only 800 MS Points - 50% less than buying all the DLC individually. You'll still have to wait for the upcoming DLC to be released to access it, and you'll have to weigh up whether you actually want all the DLC to make it cost effective, but for the most part, it sounds like a great deal.

Check out the full list of available DLC below:

L.A. Noire Rockstar Pass

The L.A. Noire Rockstar Pass includes all the following: The Broderick Detective Suit, The Sharpshooter Detective Suit, The Badge Pursuit Challenge & Button Man Suit, "The Naked City" Vice Case, "A Slip Of The Tongue" Traffic Case, "Nicholson Electroplating" Arson Case and "Reefer Madness" Vice Case. Individual items will become available to download when released.

"A Slip Of The Tongue" Traffic Case DLC

When a suspect caught behind the wheel of a stolen car claims to have bought the vehicle fair and square, Detectives Phelps and Bekowsky are unimpressed. When he produces a pink slip and bill of sale as proof, they sit up and take notice. There follows an investigation that will throw up bumbling car thieves, double talking auto dealers, and a theft racket that stretches across Los Angeles and the state line.

It falls to Detectives Phelps and Earle to work the scene, and determine which of Miss Randall's many vices finally killed her.
