Over on XBL Marketplace, there are some snazzy new Avatar items for Saint’s Row 2, including the lovely pimp hat and suit above.

There’s also a cane for the outfit that would not show up on the leopard print background that we felt the duds sorely needed, and deserved.

No news on any similar moves for Europe.

The second week of Direct 2 Drive’s birthday sale has brought some proper bargains: BioShock and Saints Row 2 are both on offer for $5 or £5 each.

The UK version’s here. Get on it. There’s plenty of other stuff there besides. We’re buying Saints Row 2 right now. Despite the fact we already own it. That’s how cheap it is.

THQ has inducted Saints Row 2 and WWE: Smackdown vs Raw 2009 into Sony’s Greatest Hits Collection.

Both games will run $30 each.

The Unkut Pack for Saint’s Row 2 has arrived on Xbox Live.

Extra goodies contain 16 new tattoo options, 60 new customization items including bracelets, camisoles, hoodies, necklaces, T-shirts, tank tops, and Unkut watches.

In-game store Sloppy Seconds has added jeans and polo shirts as well.

Best of all, it’s free – but only if you are a Gold Member.

THQ says that another Saint’s Row 2 DLC pack is in store for gamers, and it’s called Corporate Warfare.

The content revolves around a civil war within the Ultor Corporation, features new vehicles, Achievements, maps and promises to fill players in on the fate of Dex.

Corporate Warfare will be released May 28 for PS3 and Xbox 360 and will run you 560 MS Points ($7.00).

Thanks, D’toid.

THQ has announced that Saints Row 2 has shipped over 2.8 million units since release.

This was announced via the company’s Q4 financial year results.

The earnings call should be starting anytime, and we will keep you up to date as things progress.

Ultor Exposed, the first download pack for Saints Row 2, is available today on both on PS3 and Xbox 360.

The content includes:

• 3 Co-op enabled missions, featuring Tera Patrick
• 6 Vehicles including the helicopter gunship and Ultor bomber. Complete with working weapons
• New clothing and customization options. Including the astronaut suit, EDF uniform and an authentic alien outfit
• 2 Strongarm multiplayer maps (Trailer Park & Downtown)
• 2 Gangster Brawl multiplayer maps (Stilwater Prison & Warehouse)
• 1 New co-op diversion
• 5 New Achievements worth 125 Gamerpoints (Xbox 360 version only)

Ultor Exposed is the first of three planned DLC packs for Saints Row 2. You’ll can pick it up on Xbox Live for 800 MS Points (£6.90) or on PSN  for £7.99.

There’s also a Saints Row 2 NXE theme coming to Xbox 360. You can see the first screenshots of the theme over on the official community site.

THQ said last night that Saints Row 2′s upcoming DLC, Ultor Exposed, has slipped by a week and will now launch on April 23.

Tera Patrick’s in it, or at least a really terrible digital representation of her is, so that means you have to part with 800 MS Points to play it.

There’s other stuff in it, too, like cars, haircuts and clothes. For the win.

According to this Eurogamer piece, Saint’s Row 2′s going to get three separate packs of DLC.

The first, Ultor Exposed, is out on April 16 for PS3 and 360.

“Ultor Exposed is the first of three DLC packages that will be made available for Saints Row 2,” said producer James Torbit.

“I’ll get my brake lines cut if I reveal any details [on the other two], but rest assured that we’re hard at work building on the Saints Row 2 experience.”

More details through there.

50 Cent has apparently just said he wants to make a Saints Row movie.

“With my relationship with THQ, they’ll actually see me develop Saint’s Row into an actual screeplay and into a film project,” he told US journalists.

“I’m optioning the rights for that right now, so they’ll see that before they see me do it from my own perspective for my game.”

Sounds great. More on Kotaku.

What do you do when you have a baby aged 13? You play Saints Row 2 in front of the Sun’s cameras.

Our words are pointless. Read this.

For every cloud, a silver lining. Saints Row 2 has sold 2.6 million units since the game’s October release, Edge reports, bringing a touch of warmth to some otherwise awful THQ financial results yesterday.

Other glimmers from THQ’s 2008 included WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009, which has shipped over 4 million units, Big Beach Sports at 1.2 million, and de Blob at 700,000.

According to CEO Brian Farrell: “Established franchises like Saints Row and WWE SmackDown vs. Raw, as well as new franchises such as de Blob and Big Beach Sports for the Nintendo Wii, give us confidence in our strategy going forward.”

Nice, but cold comfort considering financial losses will result in 600 employees being sacked.

For every silver lining, a cloud.
