I already own this because I was able to pick up L.A. Noire for $10 at launch, and I bought the discounted DLC pass. Definitely worth it. My girlfriend and I are still playing through this game right now. It'll drop lower over time, but if you haven't played it yet you should do it now. I'm positive you could get a used copy for around $20 from GameFly.

$32 > $54 any day, lol.

I wonder if the 360 version will come with the consul's car dlc, as i remember that was a ps3 exclusive.

Just my two cents, but this game is incredible. In fact I would have to put it in my top 5 of all time. I could see it not being for some, due to not shooting people all the time, but there is action and plenty of detective work to do. I have purchased all the DLC and have every achievement in the game.

The burglary and fraud desks were written during the planning stages of the game's development, but never actually implemented. They weren't "cut" and they're not sitting out there waiting to be released as DLC. I think it's much more likely that they were dropped for story and pacing reasons-- the game is already very episodic and draggy in places, the last thing they needed to do was draw it out even longer.

It was in an interview with 1Up right before the game came out. They had to cut the fraud (which took place after traffic) and burglary (which took place before homicide) desks out of the game so they could fit it on 1 Blu-Ray and keep it at just 3 disks on 360.

If you listen carefully when you have your first day in homicide, the Irish captain says you were promoted from burglary, not traffic.

This was one of my favorite games of the year. The graphic and audio design on the game are top notch creating a wonderful environment for the game. It was a nice change of pace from shooters, but I tend to like slower games like RPG's.

We'll probably never get those extra desks as Bondi has gone belly up.

Same here

I would have to agree with you man. I like titles that are very original. I do love my shooters, and sports games. But sometimes, you need that different game to break away from the norm.

According to OXM, it'll have all of the retailer/console sepecific DLC on it as well: http://www.oxmonline.com/la-noire-co...ue-november-15.

So wait? There hasn't been any word yet on a disc version of the DLC by itself. Like Episodes of Liberty City and Undead Nightmare?

I have LA Noire in my backlog from the Kmart deal when it was first released.
I would prefer buying the DLC separately rather than buying the collection, unless I can just pass the DLC disc along to my brother.

I mean, I could give him the main game and we could just share the DLC disc or install it like how Borderlands and Fallout 3 worked.

+1

This is starting to get really old. This and Marvel Vs Capcom are both comIng out in the same year as their original games. It's almost like they're giving the finger to everyone who supported them early, like me for LA Noire. I spent $60 and was happy to do it, but now I'm just mad.

You guys think the 360 version will have a dlc voucher ? I can't imagine the 360 version having more than 3 (unless they go the lost odyssey route and put the rest of the data on a fourth disk)

Yeah, this was one of only games in recent memory I thought that would have been alot better if they cut 5 hours out of it...I would recommend that folks seek a deal on the original version and just buy the DLC if they really, really dig the game

Just the version I was waiting for.

I've been waiting for this to hit PC, so this is cool with me. Probably won't pick it up right away though, I have such a backlog I might as well wait for the inevitable Steam sale.

So why should I get the Complete Edition for $50 instead of getting it used from Gamefly for $20 and then buying the Rockstar pass for $12?

No one is saying you should. But many people only buy new and a lot also prefer to have everything on one copy, rather than buying DLC.

I love the game and would buy any DLC cases they release, but with Team Bondi's situation unless these are already made, we won't see any more.

Here's the difference between this and what Capcom has been doing with their re-releases:

$20
