If you’re an X-men, you’ve got to be in the absolute best shape. Even if you’re only a character in a video game, it’s true. So, Activision thought it’d be doing all of the X-men Origins: Wolverine PS3 and Xbox 360 players a favor by announcing, during E3 2009, the release of the Weapon X Arena downloadable content from Xbox Live and the PlayStation Store. The press release states the Xbox Live price is 800 Microsoft Points, and I wasn’t able to find a price for the PS3 dlc.

Does that sound familiar? It should. That Weapon X Arena dlc was the GameStop Exclusive. Anyone who preordered the PS3 or Xbox 360 game there got a code that unlocked this content for free. If you didn’t feel like preordering, now you can access it for a price.

The Weapon X Arena is a level that’s basically a training facility. You guide Wolverine through four rooms, each with a different simulator and challenge designed to test him. The Custom Combat Arena lets the player spawn all sorts of enemies to fight. It sounds like it’s available right away. The Environmental Simulator has all of the interactive objects in the game in it, ready for Wolverine to throw them around. The Dismemberment Room lets Wolverine, you guessed it, dismember opponents if the correct parts are hightlighted.

The Ladder Challenge is probably the most intensive part of the Weapon X Arena dlc. To even enter the room, you must fight every enemy in the game. Once you do, you can enter the room and see if Wolverine can fight through and survive 50 waves of enemy attacks.

There’s something I wonder about. The ad and section describing this content on the X-Men Origins: Wolverine site implies that all the people who preordered needed to do to access this content was enter a code. If that’s true, then does that mean that this is one of those cases where the content’s already on the game discs, and now people are being given the opportunity to buy the code others got for free? Did any of our readers slurge on X-Men Origins: Wolverine and preorder at GameStop and know?
