But if its day 1 wats the excuse of not being in the original game??? Also i agree 3 characters for $10 O.o  I just did an example from PSASBR (2 characters and a stage $10), with no unlockables in the main game -_-

As others have said, there's quite some time between the day a game is finished and release day. Which the millions of game boxes are being made and the game is being burned to millions of discs and then those discs are delivered all over the world for people to buy, the developer can use that time to make the day one DLC. If the made that DLC as part of the game to start with, the release date would have to be pushed back so the developer can have it ready by the time the discs have to be burned.

Only exception is when it's on-disc DLC or when a download-only game has day one DLC, because then the DLC was clearly ready by the time those discs had to be burned or when the game was ready for download and that content could easily have been included with the reast of the game without pushing back the release date.

Most games go gold about a month before release. There is no way DLC is created, and ready for release between that short amount of time. Considering that the game itself took up to around 2 years to create itself....... I call BS.
