Capcom's logic behind DLC practices.

What I do want to know is how do you figure leaving the characters on a server is less expensive?  The game cannot be any more than 8GB as it is.  The DLC content, as most, is 1.5GB, and that's bein generous.  So, how do you figure it's more expensive to burn?  Aren't bluray burners faster than that?  Might take DVD a while, but, still...  I just don't get it. 

One thing I want to know is when did we start spelling "disc" with a k?  The only "disks" I've known are the ones with a casing around them.  Hence, Hard disk drive, or, floppy disk.  Compact disc.

from wiki

A disc (International English) or disk (American English), from Latin discus which itself derives from Greek δίσκος, is a flat circular object. It may also refer to

Like saying to nintendo why the game boy color was spelled like that internationally but anyway.

1.5gb to a dvd would take about maybe 2 to 3 mins to burn to a disk, just using a standard burner, obviously capcom would have things that are a good deal faster than thaat but 2mins x 500,000 is still a lot of time and as for what hosting 1.5gb for downloading online I mean you could have hosted that on rapidshare for a tiny cost as a consumer, nevermind how little it would set back capcom to have microsoft store it on xbl or sony to hold it on psn for them.

 

As for your stuff about Tekken Tag 2? That has been in the pipeline for a good few years now and the director behind it has at least come out and said there will not be any paid dlc for that game, so at least that is a step in the right direction. As for you having to use different characters from tekken than you mained in their 3d actual tekken games? of course you did the characters were warped to fit into the 2d fighter genre some tekken characters even getting fireballs to sort balance out. To complain about that would be like me saying that the daytona car in fighters megamix on the saturn didn't play the same as it did in the game it came from :o
