Yep you are right, Burnout Paradise is a prime example of how DLC should be implemented in games. There really is no excuse for any of the music or costumes that are currently up for DLC to not be on the disc.

I am just glad I didn’t buy Soul Calibur IV. I was waiting for the price to go down, now I think I will just skip it altogether. That is the only choice we have at this point. Vote with your wallet. Complaining and then buying it won’t do a damn bit of good.

I own SC4, but I hate that every DLC costs so much and should’ve much more in it. I play it only with friend lately, so I won’t pay for a character I never use and should be there since the beginning…
Namco is like Blizzard… they’re only interested in money and not in the gamers interest. All the free Burnout Paradise DLCs should be a great example for the other companies.

My biggest problem is that you’re paying for DLC that’s already on the disc… if it were an actual new content download that’d be one thing, but here you’re essentially paying for access to code you’ve already technically paid for.

Namco’s particularly terrible about this, they pulled the same thing with Beautiful Katamari and Ace Combat 6 iirc.

Screw Namco Bandai.
Just give us more customable parts and new/original styles for CaS, Hwang and Li Long, and Create a Jedi/Sith!!

That is a huge amount for such little content.

$5 for Yoda….YODA? If it was Hwang, I’d pay $10, but Yoda? A midgit who doesn’t even deserve to be in my beloved SC series? Out of order me thinks. Anyway, where’s the European PSN DLC? We have ziltch right now. No costumes, weapons, nothing! I’ll have to avoid the PAL Tekken 6 if this is how they treat Europeans.

@zoulpain

Agreed, this is a scam. The videos circulating on the net that were taken down for “copyright violations” prooves it. They just didn’t want it to be prooven that the content is already on the disc. This is why I just rented the game for one night, took it back, and will not be purchasing it. Like I have said before, Bandai/Namco is the worst in this regard. The problem is that as long as people will stand for it, it will continue to happen. There are people on here that will jump down my throat for saying this as has already been prooven. Do so if you want, I don’t care, it won’t change how I feel nor will it change what is right and what is wrong.

I’m pretty sure crackers found this to be on the disc.. so namco is scamming people.

The hole next-gen DLC scheme is so annoying .. all extra content could be free except for expansion packs.
