5 Star Wrestling Gets Free DLC & Massive 60% Discount

If you like wrestling games, huge discounts and free DLC, this might be for you. 

Earlier this week, Serious Parody (makers of Wrestling Manager) released a free bout of DLC for 5 Star Wrestling (PS3). What more, the game usually retails at $24.99 but for the rest of this week only, can be purchased for just $10, via the PlayStation Network.

The free DLC includes:

• A shiny new arena
• New costumes for every wrestler
• A coins cheat which gives you enough money to unlock everything in the game
• A special "Hulk Up" taunt for babyfaces, which if successfully performed grants them access to their finishing move at any point in the match. This adds a new layer of strategy to the already technical gameplay and is designed to help balance the heel's ability to use dirty moves. 

Most importantly, the free update also squashes a large number of bugs that plagued the game at launch. 

Download the game from the PSN at this link.
