It's supposed to be one of the reasons to buy the PC version so i'd say no.

Releasing content that fits into the middle of the games story is a big no. But anyother features like extra MP stuff would most definetaly be a must.

Id say its probably guaranteed. Epic talked about wanting to do single player DLC. And its allot more then a new boss battle. Its 5 new chapters so thats about 20% of the original game or about 2 hours of gameplay.

There will probably be a patch. What you should be asking is if we'll have to pay for it or not.

1. Wrong forum there is a Xbox 360 forum.

2. You dont mean patch you mean expansion. A patch is used to fix bugs in the game.

So far it is PC exclusive. From the video, http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3160971, "We want people who played the 360 version to pick up and play the PC version" The PC version pieces missing parts of the story together.

They're probably going to "thank you" by milking you with overpriced content.

The original experience for the Xbox 360 is no longer exclusive to the system because people with a PC can have it as well.

Why? Host advantage has been around for years, why should it be fixed just because its on the 360.

t's not like the 360 version has anything the PC version doesn't have. The PC has all the 360 content plus some more.

It'd be the best way to not alienate the 360 fans but Microsoft currently wants it's PC division to push Vista.

Regardless, Microsoft should also consider the millions of Xbox 360 Gear owners as well. I do not wish to upgrade my computer just for some extra content that I could easily get on my Xbox 360.

Like you, there are tons of people who don't want to update their computer. Microsoft stands to make millions though by people upgrading to Vista. That additional content will be held off for a long time assuming it ever comes out. I might be wrong, but Microsoft will go after what makes them the most money.

Anyone who was going to buy the 360 for Gears has already done so. The majority anyway.

The hardcore Gears fan is going to want more. Xbox could sell the exapnsion on live for $20 bucks even and will likely have to split the money with Epic.

If you need to buy Vista to get it, they stand to make at least a hundred dollars off each convert. They also expand their Vista numbers which makes people more likely to use further new Microsoft products which makes share holders happy.

According to CliffyB at the conference, Gears will be playable on XP.
