That does sound a touch overpriced...
I hope we're not seeing the start of one extreme (free updates) right across to the other (expensive updates), so they can make some money back on the former. Pretty good business logic, I guess. Get the punters happy with you then start to creep the charges in. But they can get fucked, quite frankly. If I pay that kind of money, I want more than a fucking game mode.

Until such time as the recently added requirement to register with EA to even play online fucks back off, so can this game. The cynic in me says that all those free updates were to build up our goodwill so we wouldn't be so outraged with the bullshit that is now commencing.

Burnout's DLC has been overpriced, despite the good stuff they've been doing all year...

Put me down for some of this. The livery of the cop cars looks awesome-good! Pity I won't be around this Friday to join in the fun... ;_;
Quick go Thursday night peeps? ;oP |

Lovely game but they won't be getting me to to part with my hard earned cash. I'll wait for a decently priced retail bundle (hopefully new island + a handful of others). Hell, there used to be expansions the size of full sequels for around that price.
IIRC the PC version doesn't require you to pay with "Microsoft Money", so I have that at least to be thankful for. |

I've read that it's a Freeburn game mode, but what happens if I'm the host, start this mode and there are people in my game who haven't forked out for this? Are they kicked? Does it just not work?
Had a quick look on the Criterion website and it doesn't seem to say. Can anyone clarify how it works? |

Aye. It's 33 cars RESKINNED. Not new cars. RESKINNED. On top of an altered marked man mode.
I'm be happy to support Criterion for their fantastic game (which I bought brand new on release day, very rare) and some really good updates. But that doesn't mean I'll spend £7 on this.

They have set a standard by giving us so much free content and visuals over the past few months, give a little back. It's better than what Resident evil did with versus.
Yes, but that eventually stops working if every update after the first year free is way more expensive than if they'd been charging all along! @RedSparrows. If 800 points is £7 for you, you're doing it wrong! |

I'm not sure how 'less than a tenner' is a fair price for one extra game mode in a game that is now readily available for less than two tenners.
