Just to note, although your formatting seems to suggest it anyway: the "Multiplayer Havoc Pack" for Transformers: FOC contains all of those smaller 80msp items from the lower list combined. The way the descriptions are worded on the marketplace, it doesn't make this abundantly clear. Not that this won't stop a flood of replies below, going on about how we're getting nickle-and-dimed and whatever. laugh Keeping in mind, these are purely cosmetic items for character creation mode and the like; they do not affect actual gameplay in any way.

Disappointed by all the on disc dlc they shoot out just days after a games release, and why the hell would anyone pay for something they can earn on the game later for free? Isn't that what a games for to progress, upgrade and unlock in the name of fun but now you can pay for it... Shakes head in shame for 5 min.

Crazy people were paying $90+ for preorder skins shortly after War for Cybertron came out, so it's not surprising that the publisher is exploiting this. Incidentally the preorder "exclusive" skins were eventually bundled with the map packs.

so the dragon's dogma service pack is all the notice board packs bundled, right?
i never cease to be amazed by the rage that people feel over dlc in all it's forms. it's for entertainment purposes guys. what do you expect? i understand the need to be thrifty these days, and i'm not wealthy by any stretch of the imagination, but i've managed to purchase every add-on for every game on my profile. i'll continue to do so too, because i enjoy collecting and having the content (might be a slight bit of obsessive-compulsion too). i also pay for overpriced snacks at the movie theater, and don't think i'm "ruining" anything for anyone by doing so

Isn't it really frustrating when this happens? They develop a product, then they are cutting off 20% of it from the initial release and SELLING it to you same day! I think it's the latest fashion... btw did you knew that most of these "day one dlc" are in the disc that you bought but you need to PAY to unlock them? Like "From Ashes" dlc for Mass Effect or Yoda/Darth Vader characters for Soul Calibur 4 (thought the last were not day one dlc). Don't get me wrong, I'm totally sold for Transformers but still this harassment hurts... I think we need to stop buying these dlc's. Because as long as we consume their crap they will keep producing them.
