Still hitting the ring at Fight Night Round 4? Good news, slugger. EA Sports is sending another haymaker over to pack more punch into the game. This round will see a neat price drop for the game, so those who still don't have the game will be able to grab a copy minus the ouch of the full price. For those who already have the game, EA Sports will continue post-launch support with some fresh new downloadable content.

Pearl Jam is getting their own Rock Band title, apparently, and they're building up some early hype for their upcoming Rock Band game by releasing their new album, Backspacer, as downloadable content on the same day the album hits stores.

The upsurge in DLC releases hasn't just given gamers more reasons to play and replay their games again and again (and spending more money in the process, more often than not), it has also given rise to actual trailers for downloadable content. Trailers like this new one for Fallout 3's Mothership Zeta DLC.
