Perfect Dark Zero is GOOD

[A Black Falcon]

I actually am HOPING for this scenario. Last thing we need, as gamers, is for consoles to get as bad as the constant minor upgrading of PC video cards. Is there really a need, for example, to release about 3 or 4 new updated video cards a year? Why not wait a while (giving time perhaps for game companies to actually work with the thing you just released) and devote a lot more time and money to much bigger jumps every few years? I'm hoping the generation after next won't come out until we can do REAL TIME photorealism at max HDTV levels, on two screens with stereoscopic goggles involved. And with THAT generation, we won't need another upgrade sheerly for the sake of power.

Not going to happen, DJ. Companies don't make decicions based on what is best for the customer's wallet. :)

So basically you are saying this is stuff already inside the game code they are trying to sell, rather than additional stuff? They are basically trying to sell me a car and then making me pay to turn on the already built in air conditioning? That is different, and wrong.

No, but stuff they easily could have distributed/included in the game (depending on the kind of content) if they had wanted to, I think...

Oh, some of what they're doing with Live is great -- like Live Arcade -- but... I want to pay for a full expansion, not for one level... I can see those predictions of paying for 'just an addon gun' coming true eventually...
