Forza Motorsport 2 DLC gets price cut, new track now for 400 MS points

Not long after Turn 10 announced the upcoming release of a downloadable race track for Forza Motorsport 2 on the Microsoft Xbox 360, complaints from fans about the steep price made the developers decide to drop the required Microsoft Points. Twin Ring Motegi, according to lead designer Dan Greenawalt, is worth 600 MS points, but they’re letting it go for 400 MS points instead.

The community manager at Forza Motorsport 2’s forums explained, “The goal of DLC isn’t so much a revenue generator (production costs usually far outweigh your return), but it’s more of a way to keep the community engaged in your game.”

Given that the said community wasn’t happy about having to buy blocks of 1000 MS points to avail of one map for 600 MS points, the price was reduced to allow users with 500 MS points to purchase the downloadable content.

Twin Ring Motegi should be available from Live Marketplace in a few hours, come 9:00 a.m. (GMT) of October 26 for all regions. If you need more details, click on the link below that will take you to Forza Motorsport 2’s community forums.
