correct me if I'm wrong, but it is free for PC users. I'd like to know how game developers such as Treyarch justify this MS charges them to release it and strongly encourages charging for DLC, presumably thinking that if some people release DLC for free then other games will have a harder time charging for DLC (and thus wont make the DLC at all). I seem to recall a Valve interview saying what a nuisance this is for L4D since MS only gives them like 8mb for free patching.
I also have a 360 and I expect a different deal. Games are expected to ship complete and essentially bug-free, and it's expected that any further content would be paid for. Charging for DLC is only really a nuisance in that it can divide the player base. 'Course, this only applies to a point, but DLC that's free on PC is usually very cheap anyway. Thinking back, all the PC games I've been really into I'd be happy to pay that small amount for some DLC, instead it's nearly always been everybody wishing some new content would be released. The problem on PC is delivery, at least until something like Steam becomes ubiquitous.
