Is DLC absolutely necessary now?  Why not add these features in the beginning?  Then again, way more maps, so that's much better than some DLC that just adds a new skin that's on the disc.

DLC was designed to add content that isn't necessary to the core game.

Neat.

It's just become a bit crazy.  Nearly every game out there has some for it, which adds up to a lot.  Most of it could be free or much cheaper. (Modern Warfare mappacks)  There aren't that many games coming out where DLC is is all that justified.  IMO, Burnout Paradise did it best.  It added bikes and all for free, but to get the island, it cost money.

I agree with that, however. They include too little to charge too much.

If they love it so much why'd they make the PS3 version of the game have inferior graphics to the 360 version. D:

It's funny because, alot of games now include the actual DLC content on the disc but you have to download the stuff to "unlock it". That's why alot of the Mass Effect 2 downloads have a really low file size.

You can blame publishers like EA and Activision for this bullstuff. Some of the MW2 DLC maps were on the disc already as well.

It doesn't?

It doesn't?

The PS3 version looks bad compared to it. Stretched textures, it's blurry, smaller draw distance, glitchy shadows, etc.

Both the PS3 and 360 have its limits.
