I Think a lot of these games (Like soul Calibur ) Actually have the dlc already on the disk. I think you pay to Unlock it.

I think you are wrong... When you purchase it from the online store it clearly downloads something...

As for the online mode it seems Namco creating a patch to allow it would make more sense than having it as downloadable content, but then again I could be wrong seeing as how motorstorm added time trial mode as downloadable content. In arguement to this though Little big planet is getting online multiplayer map creation mode through a patch, so I guess its just up to Namco. (and if they want to charge you money to be able to play online)

I must say I'm rather proud of Namco for actually offering the content for free, it seems like in todays world of online content nothing comes free anymore...kudos to you Namco!
