I don’t like to play on pc that’s why I don’t mind to pay for playing online

live is an enterteinment service not a basic need like water or power you won’t die if you can’t play online or your arcade games for three weeks.

Expansion Packs Usually have to do with MMO’s or Strategy Games and include a vast chunk of extra’s worthy of being paid for. Not just a costume change or a couple of extra cars and one extra Playable Character. Most Expansion packs Include whole Islands and vast lands with many more objectives to complete. Now I have never bought an expansion pack myself but have seen some on the PSN. Such as Cars that are already in-game if you unlock them now obviously this is just EA nickel & diming players who aren’t really players. I have also seen DLC for Folklore which I really can’t comment on as for content but I bet it is nothing like a true Expansion pack for the PC. Same thing with DLC for Motorstorm a couple of cars for $3.49 here and some tracks for $4.99 there. It can end up adding up. It is just not the same as a true Expansion pack to me. The way I combat it though is to buy the game later in it’s life when it has gone down in price and then slowly purchase the DLC and end up paying a price pretty close to the Original Retail price. I may not get to play the game immeadeatly but I’m in no hurry.

“still, when we can’t bitch about gay crap happening on halo, we find the next thing that could even slightly tick us off.”

Actually, I quit Halo 3 as soon as Call of Duty 4 came out. I’d played Halo 2 online pretty much every day since its release, but Halo 3 is a letdown for me and I’ve become tired of Bungie’s attitude towards the more hardcore and competitive portion of their community. My letter was not just a rant about something that “slightly ticked me off,” it’s something that recently occurred to me and I felt like sharing.

I can’t believe you just did that. Once I invent a way to slap people over the internet, you’re first.

I just glanced over my letter again and noticed a couple typos and wording errors. The letter wasn’t proofread or anything; to be honest, it was actually written in between Law and Order: SVU commercials on Tuesday night. Normally I’d put a bit more effort in, but I was expecting the thread to be quickly silenced in the form of a lock or deletion. However, I wasn’t expecting this much support from the community. Thanks guys, I’m glad to see there are others who feel the way I do. I’m not a cheap person, but I do believe that consumers deserve much better treatment than what they commonly receive from larger companies.

I’ve attempted to contact the forum moderator who locked my post regarding why a topic promoting civil and organized discussion was locked, but I am yet to receive a reply and doubt I will. I’ve noticed others have reposted my letter and those threads have also been locked, but now without the person responsible posting, thus giving me no one to contact. I’m considering reposting the letter with a specific note to the moderators as well as a link to the Digg that you guys created.
