Im one of those people who always likes to preorder games and get them first day. But it always makes me upsat when a year later even better versions of the game come out and wwith more content and a better price. Examples- Fallout 3 GOTY, Gears of War 2 GOTY, Uncharted 2 GOTY, Heavy rain move edition (I didnt buy heavy rain yet but just using it as an example).  Will this practice continue from now on?


This practice has existed for at least 20 years, PC games frequently had special releases after release that included expansions integrated into one box to boost sales a second time.  It's only because of the nature of consoles now the practice is migrating to them, DLC has allowed this practice to become a serious marketing tool.

I think your title is very badly worded though, the developer releases the complete version of games.  I would rather they used this practice for all games mind you so all DLC could be obtained for every title at a fraction of the price it is online given the inflated price in most cases.
