It gives companies very little incentive to include extras in the actual game. Especially if said content is completed before the game is released. They will purposely withhold it, as to squeeze a few bucks out of players. I know I'm jumping to conclusions and being melodramatic, but could you imagine if games like Chrono Trigger had charged you for each additional ending. I really dislike micro transactions.

Xbox LIVE is no longer the designation, simply LIVE is (for example, check Grand Theft Auto IV). I imagine this is a part of the extended effort on Microsoft's part to bring the Games for Windows LIVE, Xbox LIVE and Windows LIVE services into a single overarching service.
