Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition not recognising DLC

Myself and a few friends have all noticed that our physical copies of Dark Souls: Prepare to Die for Xbox 360 does not seem to give us a download for the Artorias of the Abyss DLC, nor does the download of the game we received by verification of the disc
include the DLC, which it has on disc if playing on Xbox 360. Now I thought perhaps this is an issue with the emulation and there was a solution available through Xbox support. And while the Customer Service Representative was helpful as he could be, he stated
my troubles were indeed an issue that needed to be solved, but there was nothing he himself could do to help me solve them.

Researching other physical copies of complete games, such as Fallout 3 GOTY Edition, revealed to me that there was no troubles there in recognising the on-disc content and enabling it for consumers. Therefore why is this a problem for Dark Souls: Prepare
to Die? Seeing as it is essentially the exact same concept; the base game and all DLC content included as a package on the disc.

What is the solution? Surely there should have at least been a public statement for the announcement of Dark Souls being backwards compatability specifically stating the Prepare to Die edition would not support DLC? Yet all the announcement articles I've
read state support for the DLC was either not addressed or they did not mention any concerns or issues with supporting the DLC at all?

There either needs to be a fix to address the issue of the emulation not verifying what is on-disc content OR some sort of recompense needs to be issued to those of us who had or bought a copy of the complete edition for the exact reason of having the base
game and DLC included in the one physical package.

Really?



I know you were kind of hyped about the "Prepare To Die Edition" which included the DLC.



What didn't you like about "Dark Souls" and "Ninja Gaiden 2"?

Heya The Madman9910.

Thanks for bringing this issue to our attention, sorry to hear you're having trouble accessing the DLC connected to the physical edition of the disc. While the game disc is inserted in your Xbox One and you visit visit Games & Apps menu, if you press the
menu button on Dark Souls and select Manage game, do you see the DLC as Ready to Install?

If you don't see the content there please be sure to check out our
Backward Compatibility Troubleshooter and run through all the steps there. Please make sure to fill out the survey near the end so that we can provide the information to the right team.

 

Sorry to bother but I would like to be sure that if the game of dark souls in physics is complete. So copies purchased virtually in the store do not bring all the DLC
