And while £10 is nothing for 4-5 hours of fun you are thinking about only 1 game.
What if im playing 5 games and they are all releasing DLCs one after another so need to pay £50 total?

And add that you are playing a MMORPG for another £10 monthly.

Don't get me wrong, adding new content is always good but need to pay for each? İts nonsense and a moey trap. İn my humble opinion of course.

I don't see how that's on anyone but you.  You could make the same argument about anything.  "Well, sure, $50 for a full-length game sounds reasonable, but what if there are FIVE that I want to get?  I have to pay $250?  That's ridiculous!"  Bottom line, if you want to buy multiple pieces of content at once, that's your choice.

But if the choice is between spending $50 to get a full game lasting 25 hours, or spending $50 to get 5 DLC that last 10 hours in total, I know which one i'll pick.

The idea that value for money doesn't matter just because the amount involved is small seems very strange to me.

Value is subjective from person to person. It's not static. There are people like me who see 4-5 hours of game content worth 10 dollars because they have spent just as much money on less rewarding purchases. I see people spend around 80 dollars to go out for one night over the course of the same time. I don't see that as a valueable way to spend money. Likewise they see me spend 10 dollars to sit in and play a video game and they don't see that as valueable. We all have different opinions on what is a good way to spend our money, more so when it comes to entertainment.


Also I have a sneaking suspicion that most of the people that post here regularly and talk trash about bioware and Dragon Age 2 and DLC pricing will probably buy the DLC anyways just so they can come back here and complain some more.

Gotta kill time with something til batman arkham city comes out also

[Kinkaku]

Yeah I'll most likely buy it, though I'm not to interested in side stories that kinda diverge from the main plot..

This is sadly so true.

I'm going to wait for a GOTY or Ulitmate edition and get them all at once. Often works out cheaper as well.

My husband just brought home the "Epic Edition" of Gears of War 3 yesterday. He had spent $150 on it, and was not happy with the crap that came with it. A Marcus Fenix statue? A metal cog? Some fake photographs and letters? Really? Pffth.

DA DLC is WAY more worth it than that. 

[alex90c]

$150?!

Yeah. The Epic Edition was an Epic Fail, at least in my opinion. And Ouch. Glad it was his money, and not mine. 

After all that, the game better be awesome.

I draw the line at Statues in my special editions.

[happy_daiz]

I'll admit, I did preorder ME3 CE, but only because it comes with a robotic dog (how can you NOT go for the robotic dog?!?).

OK, actually, my husband and I are each getting a copy so we can both play it right when it comes out, how sad is that? We're doing our part to help the economy. And we both want the robotic dog.

 Probably! How's that for decisive.

Robotic Dogs are entirely different. My wife and I did the same thing.

Hey, I just read on the Wiki that the Orlesian noble who owns the Heart of the Many is named "Prospero." Does anyone know where they might have gotten that info?

[jbrand2002uk]

Might have been leaked if it was true since its coming close to release date or maybe its just more speculation

Hmm, if there's a Tempest-like plot under all the celebrity hype, I might actually reconsider my earlier decision. With my luck, somebody just liked the name.

I agree. Especially since the statue generally adds $50 to the price tag.

[dragonfire100]

Especially if it's a crappy Marcus Fenix one. That's going on ebay....unless anyone has use for a paperweight. Anyone?

Sadly, we didn't know what was in the set when the hubby preordered it. It hadn't been announced yet.

I'd like to know why his feet are twice the size of his head. Hmm.

[Auroras]

Yeah, I'll definitely buy it.

Going to wait for forum reviews from the more reasonable and measured regulars around here on this one. Have a backlog of games to finish, and ehhhh felt a bit lukewarm about the trailer.

[IRMcGhee]

Day 1. I thought Legacy was great and I'm hoping for more of the same quality-wise.

[Danyu]

Legacy sold me on this DLC. Also, I think the trailer looks intriguing. I dig the idea of retrieving artifacts or something that locked up in a fortress.

I estimate that I will get this DLC two weeks after it is released.

[chunkyman]

No, DA2 is dead to me.
