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.

This is a one-time offer; it cannot be purchased multiple times.

Price: 150 Points
