When I bought a PS3 I was hoping the DLC wouldn't matter. After learning the price, I know I was right.

I mean, we already paid for the game. Why not just give it to us? This feels like one of those money whoring expansion pack deals...

It's called exclusivity. It's called business. I'm guessing that Sony forgot who they were dealing with. It's not whoring when the product is multiplatform. The developer is 3rd party and everything is up for grabs. Deal with the facts.

 

 

Nonono you didn't understand my point. I wasn't saying, "give it to us" as PS3 owners. I was saying, "give it to us" as GTA IV owners, 360 or PS3.

I dont think you should release a game, then charge people for DLC for that same game. If anything, just delay it a bit and give it to us out of the box. I think this whole expansion pack thing (for any game) is kind of a scam, they add in some bells and whistles and charge you half to a third of the price for the original game.

 

The charging rights were given in the contract that Microsoft gave to Rockstar when they offered to pay them to create exclusive DLC to make their GTA version more appealing. Thats just business. Rockstar chose to opt for more dough (Not Microsoft) and making people purchase the DLC with Microsoft getting a 30 % cut. The PS3 owners were never involved in this. They will get their DLC which will actually be useless compared. I guess Rockstar felt bad. We will see when we play the DLC on the 360 whether it was worth it or not.
