How'd You Like Your Game Ending to Be DLC?

I'm not really sure what he means, he says if you get the retail copy, the final boss is free..... so do the rental copies do not have it (that would be rubbish because the rental places have to pay more for their games) or just those who downloaded it.... but if these games aren't downloadable, I am finding it quite confusing

 

People who buy the game new will get the full game (the game would come with a code for a free download). 

People that rent the game or buy it used would be forced to pay $20 if they wanted to finish the game.

-edit-

You also have to wonder about people that don't have a broadband connection for their console.  Would they just be screwed no matter what the option?

Yeah I was just thinking about those people, totally and utterly srewed. I would not mind if there was an extra chapter that you could download for free first hand, (as I always buy my games new) but I still think this is entirely pointless. If they really wanted to cut down the second hand market, they can just limit games to be played on a certain number of PSN/XBL accounts.

That would still be horrible, and Epic cannot complain, I read that Gears 1 was in development for a few years, with a max of about 30 people working on it at a time, using their engine, and then sold 5m copies, they are not exactly short of money from Gears.
