What i meant is that they always have a meaning for offering stuff. I'm particular to this stuff cause its my area of expertise, in this case direct Marketing. They offer you the first characters in hope to hook you so you buy the rest.

As i said though, its something, and it does save you money if you were thinking of buying it anyways and you're obviously not obligated to buy anymore characters. I was just alerting that these things always have an ulterior meaning behind them.

Like I said before, you're kinda reaching. When a console bundled with games the masses see a deal. But with your logic, they are just trying to push DLC.

Perhaps a reason MS gave out free copies is to help build a strong community and get more people talking about this game.

That is definitly it aswell. Theres more than one objective on these things. Another one is to build a relationship with the customer, you, in order to keep you buying their products.

The logic is that a lifetime customer is worth alot of revenue. Giving you something for free is peanuts compared to the money they expect to make from you. Of course, this is all in theory. In practice its a bit harder to implement.
