What do microtransactions have to do with downloadable content aside from the method of payment? Just because they HAVE that doesn't mean the content will come to be. Halo 2 already set it up so you had to pay for the map packs, except they eventually dropped the price to "free" so I just waited them out and downloaded them then.
Microtransactions, what does that even mean anyway? It's basically the same thing that already existed on the XBox. The only difference is they have some stupid "ticket" thing instead of telling you how much it costs in actual dollars. It's pretty stupid really. Just show the actual price. That extra bit serves no purpose.
Now, I've read some things out there on what "Microtransactions" are supposed to be, and so all I can figure is, you pay for certain downloadable content. So, what is new? Explain to me exactly why I should care or consider this different from what is already in place.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
