Following in the footsteps of Halo 3: ODST, new titles that bridge the gap between expansion packs and new game are being released. The upcoming Super Street Fighter IV, BlazBlue: Continuum Shift and Dragon Age: Awakening appear to pack about the same amount of new content in their game as the affordable expansions by Bethesda for Oblivion and Fallout 3. The great part about the expansions for both of those games, as well as for Fable 2 was the fact that 360 gamers could download an expansion for the lower cost than a PC game like Dawn of War. Point being, it felt too good to last. And it was.
Thankfully, the expansion packs for Street Fighter IV and Dragon Age: Origins are priced lower than a full game, even though ODST was given the same price tag as a full new game despite offering half the content. On one hand, this means that I won't have to delete anything from my 360's Hard Drive, on the other, this also means that I'm going to have to shell out more money for something that I already own despite the disk space saved.
Am I the only person who feels hurt and abandoned by the fact that Xbox 360 expansions are now becoming more similar to the ones for PC games?
