Just grabbed this off Major Nelsons blog. In case you didn't know he is the spokesman for Xbox.http://majornelson.com/2012/03/05/a-preview-of-xbox-360-kinect-arcade-and-windows-phone-games/So there ya go..

with over 1.2 million square miles of captivating scenery,Bryan

Is that the size of whole Alaska or just some islands of it ?

A lot of heavy metal at Anchorage ......

Not sure.. I just cut and pasted the announcement from MajorNelsons blog. Hey, at least we know what the next expansion pack is going to be :Peace:

I'm sure someone said in an earlier topic something about Alaska DLC!Actually sounds pretty good! That's a big area and the terrain is fab!

should be the whole Alaskahttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska

This is terrific!!!!!

Alaska covers 656,425 square miles, making it the largest of the 50 states and more than twice the size of Texas, the second largest state.

http://www.netstate.com/states/geography/ak_geography.htmSo good question, 1.2 million square miles?

wwooohooo now I'm excited! haha and that means they will have to give us SNOW and ICING! lot's of it! and heavy jet to boot ... well, I won't hold my breath on that!

I'm predicting this expansion pack will focus on bush flying.. That's what aviation in Alaska is known for!

Alaska is 663,268 sq mites or 1,717,854 sq. Km land mass according to Wikipedia. Something is stated incorrectly unless the immediate surrounding waters are included to make up the difference in area to the 1.2 million square miles announced. Whatever it is, it will be welcomed.Kind regards,

Major Nelson need a good lesson in geography - before being employed !!who checked his references ?? Howard ??

Hmm.. well the pack will be called Journey To Alaska, so maybe they've somehow linked Hawaii to Alaska?

Can't wait!I'm really looking forward to being able to fly Flight in Alaska. Love mountains and snow. :)Will be interesting to see how snow is done in Flight.Edited: Well, the state is surrounded by water (but 500,000 square miles is a LOT of water). Hmmm . . . this is going to be a bit trickier than doing an island, since Alaska borders on Canada (and the land doesn't end at Alaska's eastern border).

I wonder what the cost will be, I'm guessing somewhere in the region of $50-60. It's crucial MS get the pricing right or they risk killing their DLC market.Bryan.
