Think of it as a gift, you buy the game for $40, $20 cheaper than most games like Gears of War and Halo 3 which are charging $60 plus extra for the new levels they make, and if you don't like the game you saved $10 on not buying the extra levels. So in reality Namco Bandai is doing you and everyone a favor. Honestly, I’m tired of everyone complaining about how they’re charging extra for these levels.

We're already paying $59.99 for next-gen titles on 360 and PS3, $10 more than we had to pay for games on last-gen consoles like PS2, Xbox, and Gamecube, there's no reason more developers like Namco Bandai couldn't cut us a break and release some extra levels for Beautiful Katamari for free.As a matter of fact, I can't help but agree with Spencer that these stages really should have been included with the retail disc of Beautiful Katamari in the first place. Namco Bandai really have no excuse for not bundling the game with more levels and objectives, and like Idolm@ster before it, they're simply using this downloadable content as a means to make a quick buck off their fanbase after they already purchased the title to begin with.
