Wow that's a lot of content. I grabbed the free LBP stuff last week but don't think i'll be paying for any costumes. Seems like a bit too much to ask especially give that the game has just come out.

The Jack Black / AC keys track would be fun too but I can't decide between GWT or waiting for RB2.

The coming of the Hoff made me get Pain. It's great fun for all the wrong reasons and strangely addictive in bursts.

Well, normally I'm kinda skeptic, but that shark outfit totally rocks.

The Hoff coming? Now there's an image I didn't need.

I agree with F.b.bob, I doubt I'll be buying LBP costumes.

What? They already did fuck right off with their £3.99 costumes! It was a one-week only thing, which was their (rubbish) justification of the price. Though the article didn't really make that clear. I think they also took down the 2 free ones.

I was quite disgusted when I logged on PSN to see the amount of DLC put up.

More charging for SC4. Extra characters for pain (there was a time when extra characters were earned and unlocked). MORE LBP costume rip offs, more DS suit rip offs, etc. Still gives my wallet a rest I suppose.

gaming is more and more all about milking money on DLC now, which is a true shame as it used to be you bought a game and got a game not half of one and the rest off the disk once you pay more.......

@ Bad09: They're very scared of second hand sales, especially now HMV have got in on the act. DLC is the only way that they can make sure they continue to get a cut of games' revenue after the initial sale. I'm not keen on it, but I can't really blame them either.

I wonder how people would feel about a game that cost £15 in the shops but it was 50% locked, then you pay another £5 to unlock the second half. The publishers would probably get a lot more revenue, sell a huge amount of the games, and the second-hand market would be a way of sustaining income, not cutting it off.

Of course, the developers would have to be confident you'd want to play the second half of the game...

@ Doctor_What

The 2nd hand market excuse again? Didn't 2nd hand gaming cause 9/11 to ;)

Simple solution to that rather than this DLC nonsense. Stop the ridiculous bunching of almost everything at the end of the year so 2nd hand doesn't take a lot of sales because of the 2nd thing wrong in the industry - PRICING.

Absolutely terrible update. Just a bunch of bullshit DLC which in 90% of the cases isn\t justified. I understand DLC to games like Guitar Hero and its likes, and Buzz, were constingly adding content actually serves a purpose. But there is too many games getting DLC that should have been packed together with the title in the first place.
Also, no demos..?

A very poor update. I'm not interested in their rip-off DLC, so this update was almost useless...

@ wayneh

Well for a download FIFA is crap too, £30 the cheeky sods! I can get it cheaper than that and it comes on a UMD with a box and manual (brand new), strange the savings on those manufacturing/distribution costs aren't shown to the consumer......

Download is the future they try to tell us, yeah right....

True. It's a shame but they have to make money in the end. The big publishers are almost all having a hard time right now. Even EA posting a hefty loss in last quarter. With costs rising more than revenue, DLC is an often low risk way to support their bottom line.

The most laughable scam of late is charging for "premium" themes.
A total and utter waste of everyone's time.
