My issue with DLC iss that unless the game makes Game of the Year or wins an award or whatever the DLCs don't come on a disk. I don't have XBox LIVE but that doesn't mean I don't want more of the games I like! So why don't developers do this? Do you think they should?

Most DLC is made after the game is released. If they included every bit of DLC in the vanilla game, it would take longer to release.

Well, hate to sound rude, but that's really your problem.

They make a profit and add extra content (Well, most of 'em). If you can't connect to the internet to download them then that matters only to you.

you can get disk-DLC for PC games. no idea why they dont do that for consoles... seems like theyre alienating customers without money for subscription fees.
but can you not download DLC with XBL silver?

It wouldn't be as financially viable to sell DLC in brick and mortar stores. By selling DLC on PSN/XBL/Steam, the publishers are able to take a larger cut of the profit.

You can get dlc on xbox silver, alot of games will eventually do a game of the year with dlc and you can always take your hard drive to a friends and download it there, but with alot of dlc being small additions rather than full expansion packs they are unlikely to be sold solo in shops

What i'm trying to suggest is that they make a seperate disc release for DLC, charging slightly more than buying online.

That way, they can earn more from the offline gamer demographic per purchase than the online gamers while at the the same time advertising that the online service has lower prices.

You can but some DLC is exclusive to gold members or costs more for silver.
