If this video of Yoda fighting Darth Vader doesn't convince you, nothing will:

And finally, confirmation that Vader will DLC from this Team XBox review.

Oh, and I bought the 360 version yesterday. Sorry. :(

Has the cost been announced? I think I read on IGN that it might not be a free download.

I'm planning on it not being free. This is Xbox Live, remember? Maybe it will be free/cheaper on PSN to buy Yoda. It will probably cost $2-5 unless they come up with some other way to unlock him (as I assume he's already on the disk, damn thieves) such as beating Force Unleashed.

On a related note, can you believe it costs money to download most themes on the 360? Almost all themes are free on the PSN. They cost like two bucks, you can't preview them, and most of them look like crap. What a shame.

One major gaming magazine says Darth Vader was really stupid.

And one major gaming site said Yoda was stupid and Darth was cool. But who cares what those idiots think? Yoda is cool, and I've seen Vader in action, and he looks badass. Someone made a video of Vader VS Chuck Norris (custom character) and he has some sweet moves, such as force choking and a ground throw that picks the victim up by their head off of the ground using the force, then stabs them through the back. It looks awesome.

Personally, I much prefer using the force to impale, choke and shoot lightning rather than to just keep jumping through the air (which is what Yoda uses it for).

The best Star Wars character in the game is probably the Apprentice anyway, but Vader would be a nice bonus.

Here's a page about Vader, including a video of his combos:

It's cool to toss people around in the air and stab them, but Yoda looks a million times more fun. I don't like fighting games too much myself anyway though.

I love throws and attack throws, and I love slower, stronger characters, so Vader definitely seems more fun to me than Yoda. So far Yoda's attacks don't seem varied enough to me. I like characters like Ivy, Apprentice and Astaroth who can mix things up and hit hard.

Apparently Yoda is broken. He can't be thrown, he's fast and does alot of damage, and because of his height, there are attacks that will miss him entirely.

Yoda is only broken if your opponent doesn't know how to play at all... my wife beat me when I played Yoda earlier today, so don't believe the hype. Oh, and he doesn't do a lot of damage. He kind of pecks away at your health, and he has awful range. And he isn't very spam-able for a newbie, like Maxi is.

And I saw that EGM is the one that said "Vader is lame", but they didn't explain why at all. So they're lame. That's the review equivalent of a message board troll.

Agreed. The lack of explanation is unacceptable. I somehow have a free subscription to EGM, so that's where I read it.

I far prefer the 360 over the PS3. There's really no contest. Although the PS3 has some nice exclusive games (Metal Gear Solid, Little Big Planet, Valkyria Chronicles), overall I prefer the 360 for various reasons. If I had to choose only one console, I'd choose the 360.

The biggest problem with the 360 is that you have to pay $60/year to play online. PS3 is free. The 360 has a more robust online experience however, and many more people playing.

Keep an eye out for sales of the subscription cards. I know you can get 12+1 month cards for $50, but I know they periodically go on sale at various stores. Some games come with a month free, too, so that can help extend your subscription and make it cheaper overall.
