PS3 version of Bioshock is £29.98 at Amazon.co.uk and this DLC is £6.29, some 21% i.e. more than a fifth of the retail price. If it has not got a fifth of the playtime then it is simply not value for money.

Please stop equating time = value for money... PLEASE!? It's a bs barometer, that's all I've got to say. |

I was all for pointing out how expensive this is, but that New Game+ will have me buynig it eventually. Being able to keep going through the game (like Resi 4) getting a better arsenal of powers does appeal. Whether it appeals to the tune of 6.29 is another question.
I know what I'm like for DLC. Heck, I even bought the Horse Armour (and didn't regret it. Is your horse armoured? No.). |

Everyone who tries to equal money = playtime and find some kind of "value" in there is a fukken tool. If I were you, id only see 3h long movies and play MMOs. Ever. (I have nothing against MMOs or long movies per se.)
Especially in a time like this, when there is a fuckton of games released within a short period of time, the shorter the game is, the more likely I am to pick it up (not to mention finish it..). |

I stole a copy of bioshock from a shop, so the DLC has infinity% less value than my copy

I wish they'd realease virtual PSN cash cards that you can buy in high street game stores. I'd be much more likely to trade older stuff in and then purchase PSN content that way.

"But time is money"
That saying does not apply here. Its just one of those common phrases, which is meaningless outside of its original context. Regardles, applying a direct percentage of the lowest price you can find for Bioshock is a pretty pointless and woefully over simplified excercise. A far better view would be to find someone who has played it and ASK them if they thought it was worth £6.29. If you trust their preferences to match your own opinion, you have something you can start to rely on. |

"To try and boost sales of the freshly released PS3 version. They've already made their money from the 360 version."
That makes no sense. No one is gonna buy the full game just for the downloadable content. It has sold far more copies on the 360 so downloadable content would make more money there but obviously Sony has bought some sort of exclusive rights..... for now. |

Its just to boost PS3 sales. It will almost certainly turn up on 360 after a period of time. |

Blimey, humour = FAIL
£7 sounds expensive for a bit of additional content, I've obviously been spoilt by Valve on my PC. |

The PS3 port of Bioshock was technically incompetent.
No matter how much of a fanboy someone is, the game looks much better on 360. As for the DLC, well even by DLC standards, £6.29 is unacceptable. I will not be paying it. And Steroyd, time = money is how the world works. Deal with it. |

"It has sold far more copies on the 360 so downloadable content would make more money there but obviously Sony has bought some sort of exclusive rights..... for now."
Very unlikely as the effect from this DLC on sales will be minimal, at least after they anounced that it wasn't free but ridiculously priced. Seems like 2K are just a bunch of cynical bastards that hope 360 Bioshock fans get the PS3 game as well with the DLC to make them even more money. And of course in a month or two the DLC will be made available for 360 as well because as you say, they'd be idiots to ignore the huge number of people that got their game on the platform.
