  1. knew it was coming. by prankfurter · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I just find it funny. One of the big things they touted about XBox Live was that you only had to pay one fee. Now with all these extras costing Its just getting more and more expensive. But I can't honestly say I didn't see it coming.

    This isn't new, PG2 has been charging for new content for a while now.

  3. They have the same thing for PC's... by vasqzr · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Don't complain. What's making this different from 'additional missions' you could buy for a PC game?

    This is a good thing. People can release a game engine, and you can just download free or cheap games to play with that engine.

    Garage developers can start doing total conversions on Halo etc now.
