It's probably worth mentioning that a lot of what is on offer is at the very cheap price of free! Here is the full Xbox Live Marketplace update for Thursday 11th June 2009:
A free add-on in the form of The Unkut Pack has been added to Volition's sandbox action title Saints Row 2, now available for download on the Xbox Live Marketplace.

THQ has announced that the first DLC pack for Saints Row 2, Ultor Exposed, has suffered a week delay, and will now release on Thursday, April 23rd.
It has been revealed that porn star Tera Patrick will be coming to Saints Row 2 via the first DLC which is launched on April 16th. Patrick previously posed as 'producer' for the game, but now she will be able to actually join you in the game.
Saints Row 2 is about to get its first downloadable add-on. Due out April 16, the Ultor Exposed expansion will add three new missions, a mission metagame, six vehicles, more hairstyles and outfits, and new multiplayer maps. Oh, Tera Patrick will also be a new in-game character and one of your homies. No big deal. All of that comes with the price of 800 Microsoft points or $9.99. To learn more about this add-on, we went to THQ and got the answers from James Torbit, DLC Producer on Saints Row 2.
