Bundle pack including four kit upgrades and four new achievements to cost 440 MS Points; Out April 21st
The first paid-for DLC for EA’s Battlefield: Bad Company 2 has been revealed – and it’s called the Kit Upgrade DLC.
Each class in the multiplayer game will receive new uniforms, camouflaged weapons, two multiplayer awards and one Achievement. They can be bought individually for 160 Microsoft Points or as a bundle of four for 440 MSP.
In the US, the DLC can only be accessed by those who have bought into the relevant Dr Pepper promotion.
Until now all DLC for the game has been free, a fact that has been all the more heightened by the £10.20 Activision chose to charge for Modern Warfare 2’s first DLC.
Note the big difference between the two, however – MW2’s content has been developed post-release, whereas BFBC2’s ‘fresh’ content to date is already sitting on discs bought by the consumer. EA has simply been unlocking it.

The game's developer DICE has previosuly pledged never to charge for map packs.
The Kit Upgrade DLC will be released on April 21st on Xbox 360. It will arrive on PS3 and PC “a little later on”, according to EA.

PS3 Price?
Geez could you guys give us a price for the ps3 version of dlc. Confused with these MS points, why the hell cant they just give you the dollar amount like PSN.
ps3 price
160ms points = 2 US dollars, 440ms points = 5.50 US dollars
wtf
Jeez... Modern Campfare 2 let's you pick what camo you want on your guns for FREE! Ha, but that is besides the point. (I won't buy this). Still great game and I expect some new maps in the future!
re: PS3 Price?
uuuhhhhh... maybe they'll price it when it comes out for PS3... right now it's 360 only. Go back to school, learn to read and understand. There will be less idiocy on the internet.
WTF
So as an American I can only get it by chance by purchasing Dr.Pepper? WTF
