When the Halo 2 map-packs came out, they weren't really that expensive. I could understand the pricetag in order to pay the guys who were making them and after a certain amount of time they became free which is when I downloaded them. Grand.
WoW expansion packs are pretty much the same as DLC, and the fact that they cost the price of an entire game outrages me because you're already paying for a disgustingly expensive monthly fee, I quit wow when the second x-pac came out. Xpacs force you to dish out a ton more cash or suffer being left behind at a lower level with nobody else around.
Cod4 map packs are still 10 euro, which for the price of 1/6th of the games value, all I'm getting is 4 maps? No thanks. They're still that riddiculous high price, so I'll never get my hands on those maps now.
I bought the LBP MGS4 packs, well because they weren't very expensive and it was content that had help from the Kojima team, and had the PAINTINATOR, I couldn't refuse. But when they release individual costumes and put a 2euro price tag on them, that's a riddiculous rip off. The Kratos Sackboy costume is 2 euro!
MS has invested alot of money in getting exclusive DLC for GTA and Fallout, so no doubt they'll have big price tags in order for MS to see a return on their investment.
All in all, I agree with you for the better part. DLC should be free, DLC should be the continued service of keeping a game good, after you've gone and bought the expensive product in the first place. Thank god the new UT3 DLC is free.
