BioShock 2's First DLC Already On Disc

Posted by Soulskill on from the read-the-rest-of-this-post-in-a-month-for-five-bucks dept.

An anonymous reader writes with this quote from 1Up: "Trouble is brewing in Rapture. The recently released Sinclair Solutions multiplayer pack for BioShock 2 is facing upset players over the revelation that the content is already on the disc, and the $5 premium is an unlock code. It started when users on the 2K Forums noticed that the content is incredibly small: 24KB on the PC, 103KB on the PlayStation 3, and 108KB on the Xbox 360. 2K Games responded with a post explaining that the decision was made in order to keep the player base intact, without splitting it between the haves and have-nots."

    Yo, dawg! I heard you like DLC, so we put DLC on your DVD in case you can't access it via TCP/IP!

    Dude, sweet! Can you even put DLC in my DLC so I can get boned while I'm getting boned?

    If customers succesfully manage to cause PR trouble for 2K over this, developers will have to take notice and they will never do this again with any other game: for subsequent releases, the 108kb key will be padded with 350MB of nothing. PR crisis averted!
