Its kinda a little long wait for the Xbox users. So I take it that there isn't a physical version as well since they are using some xbox live marketplace thing?

[Sonic 297]

No retail disc. Just as it says, download from either the Xbox LIVE Marketplace or the PlayStation Store.

Maybe it's a little bit off topic, but what happened with that second "multiplayer-only" expansion for PC version of RA3?

Unfortunately there are no news on such a booster pack or expansion set yet. There was one old rumor called "Revenge" though.
