Rainbow Six: Vegas this week received a new edition to the game, the sequel to the Red Pack if you will. The Black Pack however was all too quickly removed though, for reasons unknown. Now it is known that it was put up for 800 MS Points, when it should have been free. Yes, that says free.
Ubisoft, in a gesture towards loyal fans of the game, are releasing new maps for free, and those that were quick enough to pay upfront will be reimbursed of their points automatically, meaning you could also buy the Red Pack to complete the set.
Unless you wait until the 6th July of course, when the Red Pack will also be made free of charge, again as a “thank you to the community”. The Black Pack will be going back up at 3AM PT.
This is an excellent move by Ubisoft, but not one without any reason. The PS3 version of Rainbow Six: Vegas will include everything contained within the DLC on the Blu-ray disc anyway, all for no extra charge to what you usually pay for a PS3 game. Clearly consumers were a little upset at that, thus Ubisoft have decided to make it a free-for-all.
It’s unfortunate for those that bought the Red Pack already, but great news for everyone else. At least Ubisoft had the initiative to do this, and something we would all no doubt like to see more of in the future.
