I have a hard time imagining the expansion packs costing anything anywhere near where you expect. They will probably be under twenty dollars, and closer to fifteen dollars. I have never heard of expansion content on any platform running at those prices. That far exceeds consumer tolerance an expansion should never near the price of the original game. I think someone is feeding you a serious load. You should close your mouth before it starts to shoot out of your ears.

We have no measure of what the expansion content entails or how it will intertwine with the games inherent content. All expansion purchases are judgment calls based on perceived worth. For instance a few new missions and a couple new weapons probably isn't worth a purchase, but if the game get new multiplayer modes, half a dozen exotic weapons, a couple dozen more detailed missions, and a plethora of entertaining gimmicks it might be worth a purchase.

Right now we know very little of the game itself. So we know nothing about the expansions. So it is next to impossible to make a judgment call. I am excited by the prospect, because Rockstar usually delivers compelling experiences so I expect a certain level of quality out of their expansions.

Anyway your deluded if you think Microsoft is going to charge that much for the expansions. The game should sell seven million copies in short order, and at fifteen dollars a download. The expansions only need to sell a little over one and a half million to reclaim the original cost. So Microsoft has a lot of icing to work through even if the expansion goes for ten dollars a download they still probably have ample room to make massive money.
