LA Noire pre-order bonuses, two new DLC cases rolled into $10 Rockstar Pass

LA Noire News on Xbox 360, PS3: Includes all seven DLC options; available today via PSN, Xbox Live.

There's more to LA Noire than meets the eye, just like many of the PS3 and Xbox 360 game's MotionScanned criminals. Its publisher, Rockstar Games, is bringing even more cases to the downloadable content videogame scene and doing it in style with a discounted "Rockstar Pass."

Initially priced at $10, this reduced-price fee allows you to download pre-order bonuses now. It also puts you in line, at no extra cost, for the two additional cases that the company just announced: the УNicholson ElectroplatingФ arson case, due out on June 21, and УReefer MadnessФ vice case, set to release a month later on July 21.

That $10 goes a long way, as you'll still get the Badge Pursuit Challenge, Sharpshooter / Broderick detective suits, Naked City Vice case, A Slip of the Tongue traffic case. If you were to buy every piece of DLC on its own, it'd be 50% more than the pass. But time is of the essence. Rockstar Games will jack up the price of the Rockstar Pass to $12 in mid-July, meaning a still-not-too-shabby 40% savings is all you would get.
