800 points is barely 10 euros, so it's a fair price I say.

Depends on your perspective.

If you compare it to say, going to the movies, then it could be "worth it". But that's a flawed comparison since "going to the movies" is both a personal experience and a social experience. In theory, you don't go alone. The movie might cost 10 dollars, but how much do friends cost? I certainly hope all of you chuckleheads comparing it to movies didn't put a pricetag on your friends.

You could also compare it to what BioWare used to create. A time when a full fledged expansion was 20-25 dollars and provided 20-30 hours of additional content. But now, we've been bombarded by overpriced DLCs so much that for some reason, if we got 2 hours out of a 10 dollar DLC, it's "worth it".

And what's with this "largest one yet". Who cares? File size? Really? Is that the measure of quality now? How big the download is? Hang on, let me add a 2GB empty header to a Justin Bieber MP3. Since that would make it larger than any other MP3 ever, Justin Bieber is now the greatest musician in the history of humanity because his song is "the largest one yet".

So we're paying half the price of what an expansion used to cost for less than 1/10th the content and the fanboys insist it's worth it by comparing it to going to the movies. I guess your friends are worth nothing and the movie cost 10 bucks? And we've lowered our standards so much that we accept filesize as a measurement of quality?

Your long diatribe is completely unwarranted. How can one over-analyze a simple comparison made between gamers ($10 for a movie or DLC)? Is this an academic web forum? Suddenly we need to take into consideration the pyschosocial reasons we go to the movies? A simple comparison taken out of context. I have no doubt that you are a very educated person. Also, some of your remarks seemed valid and insightful. In the future it would be nice if people like yourself would just bare with those who are not on your intellectual level. Let people make simple comparisons without being called "chuckleheads" because *you* think they do not value their friends or social life.

Thats about 6 quid for me, which is how much it costs to get the train to my nearest city. Sounds about right...

DLC is overprized anyway, but compared to the DLC prices of other games I don't mind to pay this much for it. I mean, look at how much they charge for additional level for The Force Unleashed, or the infamous map pack for Modern Warfare 2.
