Major Nelson updated his blog with a list of all the Godfather microcontent coming to Marketplace. Most disturbing?

Name: In-Game Money - $100K Available in: All regions Price: 75 Points Dash Details: Fatten your wallet with $100K. Maybe that'll help you on your way to buying that new Tommy gun you've had your eye on. The money will be added directly to your in-game bankroll once you return to gameplay. This is a one-time offer; it cannot be purchased multiple times.

Name: In-Game Money - $250K
Available in: All regions
Price: 150 Points
Dash Details: Add $250,000 to your game portfolio. Now we're talking some serious cash. The money will be added directly to your in-game bankroll once you return to gameplay. This is a one-time offer; it cannot be purchased multiple times
