Team Fortress 2 Content On Consoles - Free Or Not?

Team Fortress 2 doesn't sound like news, since the game has been around for some time as a part of The Orange Box, and next week it should begin being sold seperately, but when we talk about new content for this excellent class-based, multiplayer warfare game, that's interesting news...especially when we're talking about free content!

Team Fortress 2

While PC gamers are already enjoying free new content in Team Fortress 2, those playing it on consoles don't know exactly if the content will be free or not, but Valve's Doug Lombardi gives them high hopes - "Oh, for free, definitely, as much as we can. You know, we don't have full say over that, but we have some say over how that works. So, for us, for free is the way to go. The gamers play the game, they want to keep playing the game, so we've collected their fifty bucks at the start, and once they're in the park, they can ride any ride they want in the park. So, for us that's been the philosophy."

These being said, the outcome of this problem remains open, but let's hope for the best!
