Fans of zombie-shooter series Resident Evil rejoice as the first DLC pack for Resident Evil 5 hits the Xbox Live marketplace today with a release on the Playstation Network coming tomorrow. For under five bucks, you get access to a new scenario, exploring Spencer Mansion as seen previously only in flashbacks, as well as 2 exclusive characters for the online Mercenaries mini-game, each with their own weapons and costumes.

Capcom intends to release another DLC pack early next month as well as a re-release of Resident Evil 5 containing both DLC packs titled Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition, also for slated early March. No word yet on any PC released for the DLC, but based on Capcom’s history they’ll likely be coming down the pipe in another 4-6 months.

Because you demanded it, Resident Evil 5′s first DLC episode Lost in Nightmares makes its way onto Xbox Live today for 400 MSP. It will be hitting the PlayStation Network tomorrow for $4.99.

B.S.A.A. agents, Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine have tracked down the location of Umbrella founder Ozwell E. Spencer’s mansion. Previously only told through cut scenes in Resident Evil 5, players now can experience the events that lead up to Jill’s “death”.

With the purchase of Lost in Nightmares, you’ll also receive 2 extra characters for Mercenaries Reunion.
