Nicholson Electroplating Trailer Released
With L.A. Noire's Nicholson Electroplating downloadable content only a week away, it's about time we got some more information on it. Rockstar just released a brand new, shiny trailer featuring everybody's favourite policeman Cole Phelps and his trusted Arson partner Herschel Biggs.
The trailer itself is (only) 35 seconds long, but that's more than enough to know that this is going to be one hell of a DLC! Nicholson Electroplating is set to be released on June 21 for 320 Microsoft points or $3.99.
L.A. Noire DLC and Rockstar Pass Revealed
Good news! TakeTwo just released a press release, detailing the upcoming downloadable content packs, as well as the Rockstar Pass.
First of all, every pre-order bonus has been released as seperate content, with prices ranging from $2-$4. All the pre-order bonuses can be bought in one pack with the Rockstar pass DLC for $10 as a temporary discount (until June 24th, when the price will be $12). The Consul's Car pack will remain PS3 exclusive.
Two new cases will be available for $4 each. First of all, there's the Arson case Nicholson Electroplating which will be released June 21st. The second case, Reefer Madness, is a Vice case and will be available July 12th.
New DLC details coming next week
Rockstar just announced that they will release new information on the upcoming L.A. Noire downloadable content, including the upcoming cases, pre-order bonuses and the Rockstar Pass downloadable content, next week.
Rockstar hasn't told us what the exact details are, though it's highly likely that Rockstar will announce the release dates of the upcoming DLC, and will officially announce Nicholson Electroplating.
Personally, I've been waiting for new DLC ever since I completed L.A. Noire, what about you guys?
Title update 1.0 released for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3

Personally, I haven't encountered any (major) bugs yet, what about you?
