Not surprisingly Aliens: Colonial Marines will be using a season pass system, first DLC announced
What game DOESN'T have a season pass these days?
Aliens: Colonial Marines isn't actually out until next week, 2K Games already has some DLC lined up. Not to mention a season pass system, something most gamers are familiar with by now.
Priced at $29.99 (or £19.99/€29.99/$29.99/2400 Microsoft Points, depending on your system and region), the season pass grants access to four upcoming Colonial Marines add-ons, including the very first, "Bug Hunt." This is a Horde-esque multiplayer mode, pitting players agains waves of increasingly difficult baddies across three environments based on the Aliens movies.
"Bug Hunt" will be out some time in March, but don't expect early access or anything. Picking up the season pass just means you're pre-purchasing the DLCs at a discounted price -- around 40%, according to 2K.
On the bright side, the season pass doesn't look like an actual requirement for playing the multiplayer and co-op (unlike so many others). Good thing too, because it isn't included with new copies of the game.

Gearbox just released the game on Steam and currently there is no bloody Exe file so I cannot play it.
They claim to have fixed the issue. Not in the sodding UK, they haven't.
As for season passes there's no way I'd even consider that without playing the game first. Are they insane?
THM, you're not the only ones to get bonus goodies to games. A lot of games lately have been getting Nordic Editions, that include some DLC, for us up here in northern Europe, (Finland, Sweden, Norway, etc.)
