Bioware did it when ME2 a year and a half ago. Granted, it eventually didn't cover all the DLC, but it was free with a new purchase so it's not perfectly the same.

Also, there's no guarantee these passes will cover anything more than what they're announced to cover.

Wondering if anyone can help me? I started downloading Skarlet and my Xbox froze up in the middle which forced me to turn it off. Then I went back and redownloaded her character. Now on the character grid, she is in 2 spots, 1 of which isn't selectable. I deleted the only download of her character on the XBox and both spaces cleared, but when I redownloaded again, she was back in 2 spots. Can anyone tell me how to get rid of the 2nd unusable avatar for her? I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Is this where there are 2, 1 each at the bottom left and right? If so, I believe that's so that Player 1 and Player 2 have their own DLC character tile, with the one you can't access being for player 2.

Yeah, that's correct, but is really weird. So are all the DLC characters going to have 2 selections. I really don't like that. Both players should be able to select from the same character tile.

From what I understand, it doesn't add a new tile, the tiles just change to the latest DLC character you have.

August 9th, $5 or free w/ season pass.

That...was fucking awesome

Boo on the new look Freddy. Robert Englund is the only Freddy.

That is so awesome. Hoping Jason comes next.

omg, if they can continue dlc like this then I'M buying

Well, Ed Boon was right when he said the 4th DLC character would be "a big surprise". I bet no one would have even guessed Freddy.

I would love that, but I believe Freddy is the last DLC character. I think there is only going to be four.

Ahem...

I think there's a strong chance of Jason now that the Freddy rumor turned out to be true.

I bought the first extra costume/fatality pack but have put off on buying the extra characters as PS3 does not have the season pass option. I hate to spend $5 per extra character, it seems a bit excessive. Does anyone know if/when they might bundle all the DLC together at a discount?

Does this mean its free if you originally bought the game and used the code? I bought the game a month or 2 ago and haven't input the code yet.

Nope. The Season Pass is sort of a DLC-Bundle/Deal that NetherRealms have on XBL Marketplace.

For $15 you get Skarlet, Kenshi, Rain and (now) Freddy.

The code that came with your copy of MK9, makes it so you can play Online.

Who owns the rights to the Friday the 13th franchise now?

I know WB owns the rights to NOES, which made sense why MK9 has him.

New Line owns Friday the 13th now and New Line is owned by Time Warner so yes I hope we will see Jason soon. And thanks for the info on the Pass.

Apparently Paramount co-owns the Friday the 13th franchise with New Line Cinema. I don't think they'd protest having Jason in the game, though, and since New Line merged with Warner Bros in '08 (though realistically, New Line has been a part of Time Warner since the mid-90s) they can pull it off.

It's lame that PSN didn't get the Season Pass. I'm guessing this is XBOX's exclusive to counter Kratos on the PS3.

Hopefully there's a bundle down the road.

I was thinking about getting the season pass because I thought to myself, "with Freddy I have an excuse to spend the extra 15 bucks to get the extra characters and all the klassic skins". I was in for a rude awakening when I went on xbox live and saw that the season pass was 20 bucks and didn't include the classic skins, that's another 5 bucks! 25 dollars seems excessive. Debating, debating.

Season Pass should be 1200pts which I believe is $15.

The DLC Characters are $5 a piece separately, so those who got the Season Pass are essentially getting Freddy for free. The first free Compatibility Pack has Klassic Skins for Cyrax and Sektor.

That's awesome. I hope Jason comes next as well. The only thing that sucks is that it's the new Freddy but meh I guess I'll take it.

I was disappointed too that we didn't get the Season Pass and as much as I like to get Freddy (Kenshi, Skarlet and Rain), I'll wait until there's a bundle or sale hopefully on PSN+

No kidding. As far as Jackie Earle Haley is concerned I think I would have rather had Rorschach instead. That would have been all kinds of bad ass.

thinking the exact same thing. but cool nonetheless.
