And EA does it... yet again!

No, but I also would rather not wait twelve years for a game that was already a complete game after just 2 years. For example, Mass Effect 2 was a complete game without the DLC. Developers shouldn't be expected to work for free when they add new content to a game that's has been released as long as it's reasonably priced (unlike MW2's which I didn't buy.) Not all DLC is bad, deal with it.

Yes it's arguably immoral... but who freaking cares?

THIS is what's wrong with the world today. I'm not a fan of the DLC model anyways. It just feels like they're trying to sell us World 3 of Super Mario Bros. separately. Sure, most everyone warps straight to World 4 anyways (i.e. you don't NEED it to finish the game), but if you actually played straight through and then found out that World 3 wasn't there, wouldn't you feel something was amiss? Why aren't expansion packs and endless sequels a sufficient method for nickel and diming us anymore? And I'm agreeing with the people who blame the consumers for this kind of crap.

It's everyones fault, the gaming industry is now a money hungry beast and most consumers are idiots who just let them get away with removing half the content from a game. Sure they complain about it, but they still buy it, and as long as people are still shelling out the cash for this the worse it's gonna get. I for one am proud to say I've not given a single dime to any dev in years because I only play PS2 and GC games now. (all of which are used, let's see how long it takes for EA to get around that.)

It's getting harder and harder to get last gen games. Gamestop has had GCN games on one side of a small rack for a long time and just recently the PS2 games went to a small rack (but on both sides). In another year, they will all be clearanced out. There's always eBay and Amazon though.

Shop around on amazon and a few small independant retailler sites that specialise in old games, maybe send them a few emails I get contacts from my regular go to guys when they get stuff in stock for loyalty and the odd deal.

So what does $119.95 come out to in USD? Fuck, that's ridiculous.

Around about 112 USD at current exchange rate.

Ah EA just loves to stick it in without permission.
