Last week saw the release of Genkibowl VII, the first piece of Saints Row The Third DLC that wasn't just a bunch of silly outfits and weapons. This activity/mission pack is available now for 560 Microsoft Points on Xbox Live, or 7 bucks on PSN and Steam, and this video right here is me explaining exactly what you get for your money. Ethical!

Honestly, not worth it.
Even when I got it from the season pass.
Unless the season pass miraculously gives me a 4th DLC (not counting Nyte Blade) then I 'd say yes.
Good for Achievement hunters (scored them all in less than 3 hours worth of play time, easily), but it wasn't anything worth writing home about (and I got it for free as part of the Season Pass, which I also got for free as a pre-order bonus). The extra homies and costumes and vehicles were okay, but having already played through the entire game and purchasing all the upgrades, this type of DLC is really just monotonous.
Anyone know why they don't allow players to turn off purchased upgrades? I thought the instant reload and invincibility upgrades would be cheats that I could toggle on/off, but I can't so now everything is just going through the motions with little challenge when I can't die.
Bethesda Softworks has spoiled us all with what players can or should expect to get with their DLC packs.
Volition has yet to add any new indoor settings with their DLC let alone entire new settings in addition to extra NPC allies,weapons and costumes as well as stand-alone storylines with multiple endings.
For this price, those who don't already have the season pass might be better served just picking up an Xbox Live arcade game, PSN downloadable title or Fallout DLC if they can't wait until this DLC is offered at a discount during some future Deal of the Week/PSN sales event or comes bundled with the disc (if it ever does,unlike its predecessor's DLC).

Will THINK about getting this, again thanks!
