Eidos Interactive and Microsoft today announced plans to release two exclusive downloadable chapters of Lara Croft's latest adventure on Xbox 360.

The first of two downloads, entitled Beneath the Ashes, will arrive in "early 2009" on Xbox Live and "takes place after the Underworld story has finished and will feature a new environment to explore, additional secrets to unlock, and different enemies to fight."

A second chapter, dubbed Lara's Shadow, will introduce a new playable character and "create a unique Tomb Raider experience," according to Eidos. Combined, both chapters promise up to six hours of new gameplay.

The news marks the second time in as many years of an exclusive downloadable content announcement for Xbox 360. Last year, Rockstar and Microsoft announced an exclusive expansion pack for Grand Theft Auto IV, which is expected sometime next year.

Tomb Raider: Underworld will release on Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, PS2, Nintendo DS, and Games for Windows on November 18. A playable demo will be available on Xbox Live in October.

There's no way Microsoft is buying up all this exclusive content just to show their users that they love them... To me it seems like an act of desperation to try and attract new users by saying, "Look, we have sweet stuff! See? We shelled out millions just for you!"

I guess the same thing can be said about Sony's PlayStation Home service, but we'll see which tactic proves to appease the fans.

I most like will still get it for the PS3. Who knows how much they will charge for this extra content. The main game is more then enough for me.

My problem is not with the fact that the content is exclusive... it's just that if it's part of the game then it shoud be part of the game... just like the extra content for Force Unleashed.
