What I mean is that, whil talk of Halo 2 on XBL sounds great, there is another features, downloadable content. Great right? That's not a rhetorical question, the answer is yes! But think logically, they release the first Map pack.. and charge 10 dollars to DL it. Say, just for simplicity of numbers, 200,000 players on XBL. Some will DL this in a second, but others will say "I pay $50+ already and another $50 for XBL, I've paid my debts, give it to me for free". Say 50% DL it, thats 100,000 x 10. Go ahead, get your calculators out. 1 Million dollars like that *snaps fingers*. And of course those who don't DL it can't play the games with the people who did DL it, will get sick of everyone playing the new map without them, and they will buy it. Great sheme,
But my question is how much would you pay for the following at max?
New Maps/Map Packs - $5, $10, $20, not buy it at all
Only the first few new maps, after say 20 bucks, it's not worth it to buy more.
New campaign levels - $10, $20, not buy it
New Weapons Pack - $10, $20, not buy it
and if a patch fixes a bug that you have fun with (ie, Map Jumping), would you DL it?
this isnt a PC, so if a patch comes out you cant play online till you have downloaded the patch.
