Marketplace is getting abused... - Aug 03, 2007 20:51
Why do the download content release for us 3 weeks before the game is even out?
I mean we all suspected know a lot of developer had finished stuff that they released 1-3 weeks after at launch pretending oh it was just done and that lie,when we know they cutted out stuff,but releasing extra stuff weeks before a game is even out?
Cooooome on.

Microsoft need to fucking wake up now.

Yes, this is bad. I suppose this was some of the extra content for the japanese version but HEY instead of giving us some freebies (and including this by default) as a little something for the long wait, no, let' s try and rip us off.

But well I suppose I might get this anyway. Sounds like it' s worth 400 points, even though there is a bitter taste to it.

I' m surprised anyone is surprised, this was to be expected with the advent of DLC, devs throwing these things out there on the marketplace and psn to recoup some more of the dev costs.

Still your not forced to buy it, you say your opinions with your money. The developers will only learn one way after all.
However to give the benefit of the doubt, the game has been out in JP for a while, maybe the content didn' t require much changes from the japanese code, and so they threw it up early, after all no reason to hold off. (All assuming this is now available for JP)

I double checked it and yes, this is some stuff from the Jap version that was released back in April. And damn, we have to pay 400 points, damn Japanese people had to pay 300. Microsoft hates us!
