So not only does this title ask you to pay $15/month, but it also asks for 15GB of your HDD space.

"Has any MMO game ever had a successful launch? Probably not in a long while as not every game will be perfect at launch. With DC Universe Online now available on the PS3, it’s no surprise that the game will face some serious issues that may be a hindrance to anyone who will be playing this game.

One of the known issues on the PS3 version is the long loading screen that will result in locking the console and resetting itself. This is one of the known issues for the PS3 gamers, as I experienced it myself. In addition to the long loading times, the game will also introduce a HUGE download installation that can eat up a lot of your time. Make sure you have at least 15GB of free space on your PS3 hard drive as that’s the amount you will need to install this game.

What’s the point of the Blu-Ray disc if we have to download the data off from the server? Why can’t they just put all the basic files on the Blu-ray and download a partial patch from the server?
Well let’s just hope that SOE will eventually fix this as we would like to get past the loading screen at least once.

DC Universe Online is now available exclusively on the PS3 and PC. Look forward for our review in several days."

That is incredibly, well, ridiculous. 

Has anyone here purchased it? Is it really this ridiculous?

LOL @ SOE.

LOL WTF!?

1.) It's only $15

2.) Doesn't MMORPGs usually require a good amount of space to play?

Damn !

No, the game is $60 to start, then you install 15GB, then you pay another $15. People whine about Live costing $60/year, including me, but $180/year for just 1 game is SO much worse.

Your 1st year of DCU Online will cost you $240. No defending that.

I have always felt that pay-to-play titles should be free to begin with. Free to download, then pay to play.

Why pay to get it and then pay again just to play? DCU Online is a ripoff and I love watching Pay-2-Play stuff fall on it's face.

As for your 2nd point. Like the article mentions, they have 50GB of space on a dual layered BD disk, why need to install 30% of it? PS3 isn't a PC.

To indict DCU is to indict the entire MMO genre. Which I would support you on- I'm just letting you know.  

First month isn't free? That's stupid.

What there's no 1 free month?!

$15 a month is to much i think they should drop it to atlest $10
