Dead Rising Case Zero DLC priced, dated

Capcom has revealed two key details about its upcoming downloadable prequel, Dead Rising: Case Zero. First, the Xbox 360 exclusive will be out in New Zealand on October 1st. Better still, it’ll be available for 400 Microsoft Points.

The game’s executive producer Keiji Inafune says that Capcom could have charged twice that amount, but that the company wanted to make it as accessible to the largest number of players.  At any rate, some progress will carry over from Case Zero into Dead Rising 2, including experience and costumes. Not too shabby. If you’re not sure if you’re ready to plunk down $5, Inafune says that there will be a free Case Zero available as well.
