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 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. |

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... |

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. |

Singstar 3 and singstar Abba out today, so that should be plenty of extra singstar ;-) |

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...

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. |
