I would like to believe I would never pay extra for the classic games, but to be honest, there are times that I have played a few games of minesweeper to pass the time.
On the broader issue of DLC, however, there are certain aspects of every purchase you make that you expect to be included, and certain aspects that are not included. Yes, cars can have a spoiler or new, larger wheels, but a fuel tank, ignition systems, and other necessities are expected to be included. You may not pay for the Pay-Per-View events or HBO, but you expect the basic networks to be included in your cable package. The problem comes when you buy a game such as Beatles Rock Band and automatically expect Hey Jude, All You Need Is Love, and other well-known Beatles songs for the sole reason that you bought the game. I think gamers are still getting used to the idea of paying for the larger wheels and fancy spoilers for their games.
