Browsing the web this morning in a futile attempt to look busy at work, I came across a really well-done editorial on the pricing of downloadable content in the current generation. Written by Martin Gaston of X360A, the article's main focus is on the recent release of the Sinclair Pack, put up for download by 2K Games as an add-on for the Bioshock 2 multiplayer.
Upon release of this DLC, 2K openly admitted that the content was in fact on the disc itself, it was just locked and cannot be accessed unless purchased from the Xbox Live Marketplace for 400 Microsoft points. The article branches off into how the current pricing of DLC has risen recently, how consumers view it, and what could be in the future. Check it out and post your comments!
