A few days ago I said I would try to start reporting on news items, but that I hadn't seen anything that caught my eye yet. Well, it only makes sense that my first endeavor into nerd journalism be something incredibly bias like, "Hey guys, give Capcom all your money!"
If you're one of the cool kids, and have an Xbox 360, you can now purchase the Desperate Escape DLC and Costume Packs for Resident Evil 5. PS3 owners will have to wait until tomorrow (Sorry, Chad Warden). The new mission runs for about $5, and the costumes are around $2.
The last mission they released, Lost in Nightmares, was only an hour of gameplay, so I expect the same to be true of Desperate Escape. Frankly, Capcom is the one video game company where I would willingly give them money just because, so the length of the first DLC didn't bother me. Even Square-Enix doesn't have the power to make me foam at the mouth at the thought of being allowed to buy the same game twice (I'm looking at you, Super Street Fighter 4).
I'm not sure what the story of the new DLC is, nor do I care. There was also mention that the rest of the characters in Mercenaries Reunion will be unlocked when you purchase the DLC (specifically the costumes, I would imagine).
If you're a pussy, and you never bought Resident Evil 5 to begin with, you might as well wait until next week when Gold Edition drops. It's only $50, and will include all of the previously mentioned DLC.

And he said Xbox don’t got games…
You forgot to mention you play as Jill and JAWSH in this DLC,and its all action,unlike the ‘Lost in Nightmares’ pack
You are correct, sir, but I didn’t even want to attempt to summarize the DLC. I’m guilty of skipping all cut scenes when I play Resident Evil games, so when I read the press release, it was just gibberish to me.
True. The real enjoyment Resident Evil gives is the joy one gets from popping caps in zombies asses’. That,and URBBBBBBBBBBBBBBSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.
For me, Resident Evil is all about shooting zombies with a shotgun, so you can only imagine my joy when I discovered that Warrior Chris had a TRIPLE BARREL SHOTGUN!
