Guys the reason publishers do this is because people buy it. If you think it's crazy, make sure you don't buy it. This is how Call of Duty map packs went from free to $15.

Exactly.

We all bitch and moan now, but then 4 months later these publishers announce that the DLC has made them a shit load of cash.

Although it's kinda depressing that all these skins combined cost more than the Season Pass for Gears 3, something that requires more work to produce and is infinitely more valuable.

Don't like it, don't buy it.

I liked the concept of them, but the execution seemed kinda lame.

I mean, they each deliver interesting opinions on Human Nature. But to cut to an FMV film and to have no closure to the characters or anything at the end, was kinda shit. It felt like they were thrown in at the last minute, with no real thought behind them (on a game design level, not a physiological one)

Well, that alone just sold me on a Kinect.

They sink cities with a Giant Worm.

Gears of War 1: They bomb the Locust.

Gears of War 2: They flood the Locust.

Gears of War 3: They eat the Locust.

Most of the 'auto-complete' titles are usually fake.

People just name their videos 'Marcus Dies!!!' and then when you watch you get Rick Roll'd or something a long those lines. I guess the fact that so many people have created these fake spoiler videos has caused them to added to the Youtube auto-complete form.

Which is depressing when you think about it.

Codes weren't hard to find. I remember during the last week of the Beta, people were just giving out codes left, right and centre. You just had to look for them.

There are other skins you can get however, like getting to 100 in GoW2.

Japan seems to disagree.

I give it a 9.9 out of 10.

The only reason it doesn't get a Ten is because nothing is perfect.
