1. Also, by releasing content alongside the game, it makes it feel like this is withheld content, that it was ready to go with the game, but was taken out for the explicit purpose of making people pay more for it.  If the DLC came out a couple months down the road, then it would seem like the developers put out a complete game, and are spending extra time making more content for it, and of course you're expected to pay for that.

A great point. DLC doesn't bother me when it feels like an extra or an expansion created after the main game was developed. For instance Fallout 3 DLC, the game doesn't feel like it is missing things, and the DLC doesn't feel like a ripoff.

Compare that to Resident Evil 5's multiplayer mode.  Released as paid DLC less than a month after the game, and many people were crying foul, because it felt like it was something that should've been with the game, and the game should've been delayed to add it right on the disc.  It didn't feel like an upgrade, instead it was filling a hole.
