Okay, let me tell you about conversion. Lets compare a brand new 60 dollar game to a brand new 20,000 car. Standard prices for goods and services. Now there is a standard amount of content held in a video game and a car. Last gen games were 6.5 gigs (roughly) and that was the amount of content involved in the game. Cars are different as some features are optional and the price is adjusted because of it features. But dealers still charge a certain amount compared to the content of the car. Now Imagine parts if of the game were locked so that only those who payed extra could gain access. The content is there, you just can't use it yet. This is comparable to a car dealer locking your truck, radio or other such thing, that only he can unlock for a price. Except, the car dealer would be losing a bit because of the cost of the things that were made for the car that you don't buy. A video game developer only needs to make that content once, and can continually profit from that content. But most game developers and and car dealers wouldn't do this. Because it is a dirty move by game developers and a potential profit lose for car dealers.

Thats assuming the content is finished. Also how do you think they plan on getting an entire dlc finished from scratch in 3 months? Im willing to bet its 90 percent done and on disk with the last 10 percent of polishing being downloaded when it releases. Had they just kept it entirely off disk it would still be near completion by now with a release date so soon so by putting whats finished already on disk it saves the consumer time and puts less stress on servers giving a smaller chance of crashes and errors when everyone goes to download them at release. I just think everyone is overreacting and jumping the gun on the ragewagon
