I'm addicted to DLC. I love it. I kinda worry, though. There's a pretty good article in the latest issue of Game Informer that asks if games are going to have an expiration date. For example, there's content for the game Batman Arkham City that's only available via DLC. If you can't download, a pretty substantial part of the story is lost to you (Catwoman's story). Thing is, these servers aren't going to be available forever.
You can buy a game today and have a blast with it. Later down the line, your console can break down or the servers can go down and suddenly, your game is gone forever. I have Double Dragon (Arcade game) for Xbox Live. It's no longer available for download. Things like DLC and patches mean we can't just get a copy of a game and a console ten years from now and have the full experience. You may not even be able to play the games you own, now.
