What is it with release dates? PS3 specifically!!

So i'm looking at what to get to tide me over xmas and there isn't nothing coming out of any greatness. so why is it everything good is coming out in march?? It' too soon for summer holidays too late for xmas holidays, where is the logic in it? Sony must be mad, if they had stuck with GT5 release for xmas and done a GT5 package, imagine how many units they would have shifted!! Modern Warfare 2, probably this years biggest release, released before xmas, why not knock it back to december and get xmas sales flowing?

So now i've got to try find trades and funding for March of all months, FF, GT5, Moto GP, AvP, MAG all in march.

I don't usually go for this Blog thing but now i must due to one thing......

That one thing is.......Downloadable Content!!

Yes it is a greta idea to be able to download extra stuff for your game etc, but is it me or do you feel like dev's are preparing dlc before they have even released the game to yet again drain your pocket for more useless crap?

Some dlc is great and maybe £2 i could handle butfor example 3 bloody maps for CoD 4- £6, why the hell do i wanna pay £6 for 3 maps you should be giving me for free because i already bought your game?! Now, Rainbow Six Vegas, Ubisoft got that right, you buy the game and they give you your map pack for free, why can't the other do this?

Every online shooting game you can guarantee map packs, GoW, CoD, Halo, all sucking you for more money, remember play on your PC and the modding community will do you 1001 maps for free!

Pay 50p for a gamer picture, ok it's only 50p But it's only a small gamer picture too! There is charges for xbox live, then charges for games bought, then charges for gamer pics, then charges for DLC content, seems to me the gaming dev's and as always MS are getting too damn greedy, i for one have never bought any MS points and the only DLC i have ever got has been free, yeah sometimes i'm left out because i don't have certain maps or something, but this charging me for sitting down at my console to play a game is getting stupid.
