Is 20$ to much for a piece of DLC?

The Black Ops 'First Strike' DLC was just release for the Playstation 3.

I tried the new map pack and had high expectations. But i was kinda disapointed.

It's 3 dollars a map same as other First Person Shooters.

Example.

Killzone2, 2 maps $5.99.

I think thats rediculous if the map pack was 20$ i think thats the most i have heard for a DLC map pack before. you can buy some good games for that price

EDIT : just for the records its only 15$ why would you say 20 thats a pretty big difference

Are you kidding? The Call of Duty map packs are always pathetically priced, I feel sorry for anyone that actually purchases it for that price. Cheap games are worth that, but not a couple of maps.

Undead Nightmare was the only DLC worth $20 ... nothing else comes close ... ESCPECIALLY Call of Duty maps *puke*

I don't pay $20 for most of my full games.

It's the same price per mapas pretty much every other map pack...

All the Fanboys will pay any price...Quite sad really.

$20 is a crime for a map pack IMO...Activision could charge you your first born baby and people would still buy CoD though. I'm just thinking of PC games where much of the community makes their own maps and releases them for free and they are great..

Honestly the maps should be FREE..you already paid $60 for the game and they made MILLIONS, the least they could do is throw in some free maps..but nope, Bobby Kotick decides he needs a few more houses.

1. It's only $15. And as mentioned above many games are priced at $3.00 a map so I don't see it as a big deal

2. People act like Call of Duty is the only game with expensive add ons. Bad Company 2 Vietnam costs $15 for example.

Uncharted 2 was$2 a map

huh...castles crashers costs around that...hmmm...havnt put it down yet...

For me, it's definitely too expensive. I purchase full retail games at 20$ when they drop in price sometimes and certainly can't consider DLC for the same price fare in any way.

People vote with their wallets, if certain amount of 20$ DLC continues to sell, expect to see it more in future.

To answer the topic question - it depends what it is and whether people will pay that price for it.

As for Black Ops specifically I gather it is priced at the same sort of price per map as anything else so....

Call of Duty isn't the only game that has expensive add-ons. That pass thing for Bad Company which was $10 and never added any NEW maps? Remember that? Let me remind you that you are NOT forced to buy the maps. If $15 is too much for you to throw away then simply don't buy it and move on.

Only you can answer that for yourself and no-one else. What I feel would be worth $20 may not be to many others, simple as that.

I've paid for some DLC that I feel is worth that and more (loved what Borderlands offered), so potentially I'd say $20 could be OK... it's all down to your own personal opinion and that's that.
