Americans complaining that games cost 60$ and a PS3 400$, when Eastern Europeans get games for 80$ and PS3 for 500$.

Careful, Heavy Rain looks like it may do it well.

Paying for content that should have been on the disc from the begining... or atleast FREE.

Paying for DLC. It should either be included or free. I will never buy DLC myself either.

I hate when you have to purchase content for a game, that could easily have been included on the game disc. Especially, when a game seems to be lacking without that download or downloads.

This is a good candidate for "termination", another is dumbing down hardcore titles trying to make them appealing for casuals and ending up with a product that's crap for everybody (examples: the second Deus Ex, Myth III (*)).

 

 

(*) and Myth wasn't even really so much hardcore, it was pure tactics, not strategic, so there were even less reasons to simplify it, actually crippling it instead.

It has been done successfully only a handful of the times- all the rest have been a failure.

It's OK to try something new but if you forget the people who made your game warrant a sequel - it's kind of DUMB.
