Firing Squad is reporting that three downloadable
Lumines Live! content packs will be available on the marketplace next week.
One pack will be a single skin/song, "Heavenly Star," which made waves as being a standout song in
Lumines II on the PSP (the song was also released on iTunes back in December). The single skin download will be free (*gasp*) from January 24th until February 21st.
The other two packs will be the much ballyhooed "VS" and "Mission/Puzzle" packs. Both will cost 100 points apiece until February 21st, at which point Microsoft and Q Entertainment will run out of lube and raise the price to 300 points per pack.
The initial release of
Lumines! Live had the community up in arms, with its fragmented download structure that turned many users off from the purchase (buying the game at "full price" only netted you the base pack of skins and limited versus, mission, and puzzle modes). With the free content and discounted downloads hitting the marketplace for a limited time, it seems someone was listening.

Her long blond hair flowing in the wind, Madonna took the car on her first drive, planning to spend the afternoon on a long and pleasant trip in the country. Unfortunately, her initial excitement soon disappeared when after only an half hour the engine began to sputter and the car slowly came to a halt.
After a few futile attempts to start the car again, Madonna used her mobile phone to contact the dealer who promised to send a mechanic straight away. Half an hour later, the mechanic arrived, and within a few minutes the engine was again purring like a cat.
"What was the matter", Madonna asked? "Nothing serious", the mechanic replied. "Just crap in the carburettor!"
"Oh ...", Madonna said, and a shocked expression appeared on her face.
" How often do I have to do that"
