Do you want to pay for episodic games or DLC?

Alright as we hear about Sonic The HedgeHog 4 and the failure of Penny Arcade episodic games look even less appealing for me. I mean come on I absolutly hate it when I'm watching a TV show every week just to see the show cancelled and I'm left wondering what was going to happen next. Well thats exactly what happened to Penny Arcade the third episode never happened and consumers who had purchased the two prior episodes were left hanging. So now I hear about Sonic The Hedgehog 4 and wonder why would I want to pay 15-20$ for the first episode of a game, I want the whole game at once not in episodic periods.

Do you have a link to more info about the Penny Arcade stuff.  I never played the games, but I heard that they made a couple.  I read their web comic, but I must have missed that info about their third game getting cancelled.

My feeling on episodic games is the same as yours.  The five Strong Bad games are $10 each.  $50 for the whole set is just not appealing.
