Both released on Friday, the downloads expand the racing game's environment beyond the disc, adding new areas to complete the South Central section of the game. The basic map expansion, available free to Xbox Live Gold members, adds four new neighborhoods, bringing racers to familiar landmarks like Exposition Park, Crenshaw Plaza, the L.A. Memorial Coliseum and more.The premium South Central expansion -- priced at 800 ($9.99) -- adds the new areas as well as 9 new vehicles, 26 new races, 12 new battle maps, 10 new delivery missions, over 100 new red light races, more cosmetic and under-the-hood options, as well as fist-pumping anthems (aka music).

    Oooh, look at the PS3 with its fancy-schmancy Midnight Club: Los Angeles "South Central" DLC. Aren't you fancy! No, we're not jealous that the DLC's release on 360 -- scheduled for yesterday -- has been delayed yet again. We're content to just sit here, spinning our wheels. It's kind of fun, really-- oh, who the Hell do we think we're kidding? This sucks, and we want answers. Rockstar?"We are currently working as quickly as we can to resolve this issue, and we will notify everyone as soon as the DLC is made available." By "issue" you mean the "unforseen," last-minute bug CVG wrote about? Know what -- these delays are starting to bug."Thank you for understanding and your patience. Please note that this issue does not affect the DLC on the PlayStation Network -- it is currently live and available for download." Oh, we've noted it. Right here on a list titled "Reasons We'll Be Even Less Understanding and More Impatient if the DLC Doesn't Hit Next Week." It's right under reason No. 4: "We have anger issues."

Nestled inside the new map will be additional competitions, races, music and new cars (including an SUV) to cruise around new locations like the Shrine Auditorium and Crenshaw Plaza. Free DLC rocks ... get it? Rockstar ... rocks, yeah ...%Gallery-39194%
