Xbox 360 players planning to lace up in Lara Croft's skin-tight boots this November can look forward to a double helping of new content even after the final credits roll by. Eidos announced that it has inked a deal with Microsoft to release two additional chapters to Tomb Raider: Underworld, offering some six additional hours of raiding tombs, or at least what passes for tombs these days.

The first bit of DLC, ominously titled Beneath the Ashes, will debut this Christmas, adding a new area and enemies as well as a continuation of Underworld's story.

Exactly. Great observation if I may say so.

However, I personally won't fall for this 'parlour trick' of modernizing the interface.

It is still unjustifiable to pay for an online service riddled with advertisements or without advertisements. Your personal console preference has nothing to do with this issue because it's a fee put into place because the company knows that the consumer will still go after the product regardless.

Planned obsolescence has me concerned also because Microsoft seems willing enough to go in that direction (last gen Xbox is caput, watered down HD quality, and let's not forget that even with improved chips the failure rate is still ridiculous compared to other entertainment options on the market.)

Again this is my opinion and stance on the issue, so don't make an argument out of it.

Major Nelson takes a look at the revamped Xbox Live Marketplace (which is a little like "Action Figure Man: the How to Buy Action Figure Man episode" from The Simpsons) and of course concludes that it's awesome. You can compare the two "experiences" with the images above (bigger on the jump) and more on Hryb's flickr account. For those not necessarily wondering how streamlined their buying experience will be, just when it's all over with, he says "The New Xbox Experience will ship later this year. As in before the New Year." No real news there, but it's nice to have his personal assurance.
