Well?

I don't because I don't care about what it usually offers. The only game that has DLC that I care for that I can tink of now is Fallout 3 and that's exactly why I'm waiting for the GOTY edition.

I buy a fair bit, if it adds content, not really into map packs. I think it's great if they can extend the enjoyment I get from a favourite game, I dont think it's harming games. If your not happy with the original game don't buy it.

I find it funny when people hate on DLC. I remember the days when you WISHED you could have 3 more levels, 2 new characters, a little more content etc etc. Now it's cool to hate on it...at least on these boards.

It's a trend to scam extra money that should have been on the disc to begin with.

KingTuttle

New content is always nice if there's a reasonable amount of new content for what you're paying (and not $X for Horse Amour, or $5-10 for an extra quest or two). Expansion packs used to be much better value, imo.
The new trend of paying to unlock stuff that's already on the disc is not nice and should be stopped ASAP.

The only game I have bought DLC for is Zen Pinball. I don't buy for a game with story mode like Bioshock or Valkyria Chronicles.

I agree. In the end it's up to the consumer to justify the spend.

I can't truly comment because I haven't played RE5 yet. However, if it's true then that is completely different than what DLC in my mind is and I would agree is bad business practice. Somehow I doubt that was the case with RE5 though. But I could be wrong.

Yes I buy dlc if it seems like its worth the money. Cod map packs are always a good bet as well as halo maps. The lost and the damned for gta was fantastic.

I started with Sonic and Knuckles for the Sega Genesis, however it wasn't downloadable but same idea. I only buy expansions, I never buy weapons or armor for DLc though.

Fair enough. My point is that extra content can be worth it. It's worth it for you, and you spend money so it keeps dev's employed and motivated to continue to support your hobby.

Yes I do but that is coming to an end. I spent too much money over the years into XBL and DLC. I'd miss out on game content if I didn't buy the DLC. I've been thinking of going back to PC gaming where most content is free and games are $10-20 cheaper in store.

One of the main reasons I buy so few Xbox games now is that I can get them for cheaper on the PC and get free DLC.Plus I wanted to get the lost and the damned but the MS points system just annoys me.

Sure there is garbage out there. But there is garbage product everywhere! Look at how much Starbucks coffee is, Red Bulls for 4 bucks a can. But for everyone of those scenarios there are still good deals out there that are worth your money. DLC is good. Dumb people paying 5 bucks for horse armor is bad...or well...stupid.

I rarely buy it and usually if it's cheap, like under $5 cheap. I figure $10 or more and I can start to get full games.

$60 for a game is already WAAAAAAY overpriced. On top of that you don't mind paying for stuff that's supposed to be already included with the game? Rich people these days...
