Ubisoft have not been very popular of late but with their latest plan for Splinter Cell: Conviction they might just worm their way back into the hearts of gamers.

They have announced a new for Sam Fisher's latest outing, that sees them offering a different item of DLC free every week.

Each item will be available through the game's Extras menu weekly for an unspecified period of time.

This week the item is an extra weapon, the MP7A1 Machine Pistol but future items could include character skins and even maps as well as new weapons.

Thanks Joystiq.
