Best Downloadable Content?

its not that, when its up, it basically, makes you think that, your game is out of date.

I think it's just keeping your game fresh. Normally you pay your £40, play the game, then get tired of it and look to spend £40 on some new game to give you your gaming fix again. Here you can spend £3 and get new enjoyment out of your old game.

Anyways, I don't think you can reasonably argue that expansion packs should be free. Developers are under no obligation to make them. It costs them money to make them when they could be working on a full new game to sell at £40.

£3 for more gaming enjoyment? Bargain, I say.

I can't get it into my head why some people don't like the idea of downloadable content.

It's good for gamers (extra content)

It's good for the developer (extra revenue)

ye but, say for example 3 xtra mission packs for a game comes out, at £3 each.

you brought the game for £40.

£49 does not sound cheap does it ?

You often spend £40 on a game???

* You don't have to buy the mission pack.

* The majority of cases cited here weren't short on content in the first place:

> PGR2

> Links 2004

> GR.

even > Halo 2 - which just feels short of content because we've been playing the same matchmaking playlist for months.

I couldn't agree more. Provided things aren't held back at retail, then why not spend a couple of quid to lengthen the game.

It's (often) three pounds !

Which is peanuts

My local sells some pints of beer which cost more than that.

[Distinct muttering]

People who moan about paying three quid would no doubt be the first ones moaning if they never released anything.

I dont see why a company should spend time developing further levels etc for us for free. They already have the money off of you for the game, what incentive would they have?

[spaceyjase]

Paying the extra £3 (on all of what, three or four games? Do you have all of those games?) also saves you the social stigma of being a moaning bastard.

If you bought the games from play or amazon thus only spending about £30 instead of £40 you would have enough left over for 3 contents! Now someone tell me how gay did that sound!
