ME1 New DLC out now?

Anyone from Sweden or Swiss on these boards can this be confirmed??

The second Mass Effect DLC pack, long overdue from BioWare, has seemingly been released onto the Swiss and Swedish Xbox Live Marketplace.
From what is being said, the DLC is called Pinacle Station and comes in at 400 MS points.
The DLC has surprisingly not been pulled yet, considering the amount of attention - or lack of it - it has recieved.
If you’re Swedish or Swiss, queue it up here.
Sneak attack from BioWare or an accidental leak? We shall see what happens throughout the day.

(Please, this description for the German version of the module to use.) Share your bravery on a remote, top-secret space station of the alliance to the test. Can you hold your position as the best of the best? This module contains a new space station, can be landed on, 13 exciting battle scenarios, and about 2-3 hours of gameplay. Requirement: You must reach the Specter status before you can accept this mission. To view this content, there is no refund. For more information, accounts, see www.xbox.com / live /.

400 points isn't that bad.

But the Mod says..

This is not correct. The DLC is NOT available in Germany yet, this is a mistake from the German Xbox website. We are correcting this.

You should be hearing more about the next DLC later today once work starts back in North America. Until then, this gets closed.

There you go DC it looks like it did get put up by accident then pulled, but it will be incoming very soon, cant wait to dive back into ME1 even if its just for a few more hrs :)

Go DC go!!!! :)

Up on the marketplace right now is the newest DLC for Mass Effect. Released just minutes ago it is called Pinnacle Station. It costs 400 points and lasts 2-3 hours. Again suprisingly Bioware haven't announced or spoken about this piece of DLC.
Updates:
To start the DLC you must have access to the galaxy map.

Pinnacle Space station was established for training the finest soldiers in Citadel space. Through the use of a combat simulator, soldiers are trained in four different ways.

Survival (like horde or l4d survival) pits the squad of three against unending waves of enemies.

Time trial involves Shepard hunting down enemies with his time being recorded.

There is a capture mode where points on the map must be captured with times being recorded.

And finally there is hunt mode, where Shepard has a set amount of time to kill enemies, but the time limit extends the more enemies he kills.

The DLC is combat based, but there are some light story elements. For completing all the training modules Shepard is put through one final mission (pretty epic) and then is very well rewarded.

Lasted about 2 hours for me.

cant wait to try it tonight.

Damn I can't wait to get it!
Combat, particle effect, visuals, weapons...looks so much more polished and "satistfying" than the first one.

One thing I want to comment on is the heat sink cooler for weapons, there aren't any, you have to reload your weapons.
Does this mean you have to find ammo or what? I don't like that, unless you can pick up weapons/ammo from the enemies.

PS: Haymaker? What is that?

I didnt see any ammo counter there so I guess it will be the same as instead of waiting to cool of you change the clip,it will be like if the clip heat too much and you replace it.

Very few games come close to the graphical fidelity this game is showing, and its hands down the best looking RPG i've seen.
