Mass Effect 1's DLC was fun. Oblivion DLC was well worth it (especially after playing over 140 hrs in the normal game alone!). Most Halo and Gears DLC's are map packs which extend the playing life of the game dramatically. Each DLC released for Borderlands has been seriously entertaining and well worth the money. I could keep going and going.
Really I don't look at it as "missing content that should've been included in the first damn place." I look at it as a means of extending the life of a game you already like. Really, if I've already put 40+ hrs into ANY game the original $60 price point was well worth it IMO, so any DLC that I might want to find for it, I assume (and am usually correct) that it will be well worth the $5-15 of the DLC.
Take Borderlands as an example. I put about 80 hours into one main character through the core game. After completing 2 walk throughs, I purchased both the Mad Moxxi DLC and the Zombie DLC, played the game about another 35 hrs and set it down once Mass Effect 2 came out. Well, after a few walkthroughs of ME2, there was a new DLC for Borderlands ready (Knoxx's DLC). Now I am completely addicted to Borderlands again and am creeping up on 200 total hrs into ONE character alone. That's nearly 120 hrs of bonus play from DLC. WORTH THE MONEY!
