Tokipost.com Sony poised to cash in on LittleBigPlanet...in DLC?

In this current gen, DLC seems to be used as a way to cash in on gamers Case in point is the recent release of Yoda, for the PS3 version of Soul Calibur 4. At $5, Yoda proves to be a costly character especially when the download does nothign more than unlocks the content that is already on your gaming disc (which has to be illegal in some way, you paid for the disc already, how is it legal to charge you again for content on said disc? Interesting....). Namco has been the "Leader" of DLC in recent gaming with paint schemes for Ace Combat 6 and customes for Soul Calibur 4 quickly coming to mind. And if Sony takes heed, they just might be able to out do Namco.

Didn't you get a crystal ball in the mail? It's funny, because my crystal ball say Tokipost.com doesn't know what they are talking about.

Last time I heard you don't have to pay for DLC. if you want it go for it.

Even the SCIV DLC there's a weapon pack. in the description they said you can unlock it in the game without paying for it. It's the gamers' choice if they are too lazy they'll buy it. Just like Namco did with Tales of Vesperia with lvl and items.

Anyways i don't know why people think the costumes are on the disc [stop playing Namco games people!]. I bet they would say the same thing about Hot Shot Golf 5 as well because when you buy the DLC it's less than 100KB only to not know it's a key to activate the DLC which you'll have to download the content off the main server.

If people want to buy the DLC let them. With SCIV DLC on the PSN the weapon pack description says you can unlock these in the game and you don't have to pay for it. it's just there for people that are lazy and are willing to pay!

The issue that I and I'm sure other gamers have with DLC is that it should have been included in the game already. What's the point of making weapons for characters in Soul Calibur other than to get people to buy them for an additional charge? Similar to Weapons in Battlefield:BC. Do you rreally think they created two discs versions, one with weapons and one that had to have them downloaded? I would guess they created one with weapons unlocked and the other with weapons present. In the case of Yoda, he was already found in disc data if I recall correctly so he is a confirmed unlock, not download.

If the DLC adds to the game then I'm all for it. I would have gladly paid for additions to say Burnout Paradise (Which have all been given for free) including the bike packs and now the new island coming to paradise city.

So it all boils down to what developers consider as DLC and how they want to handle it. Support the devs you want and others will do the same.

There are just some DLC that come later in in the months after the game was release and people will always ask "This should have been in the game from the start". There are just some things that can't be answered unless it's coming from the developer. Especially in LBP case they still have to go to the developer that created said character to be used in the game. which takes time and probably money.

if MS decides to allow Master Sackchief .....for a fee.

[VampHuntD]

I'm sure they'd see a lot of Master Sack running around as well. Really this could be a win-win for any licensed character. Heck bring in the DC universe! Why stop there and create the Avengers in Sack Style or any other marvel team! The possibilities would be maddening!

[LazyDevs]

Well i will not be buying this if the devs can't make a decent port, then they are not getting my money....

[Pennywise]

Care to elaborate or are you just trolling?

[VampHuntD]

I'm gonna go with trolling.....Port? Are you lost sir?
