Really? You bought a limited edition and thought you would get a discount off the the dlc just because of that? If that was even remotely possible, that information would've been included on a card with a code on to use once the dlc came out. About them giving codes away, that's just for publicity, if i was EA, i would do so as well. After all, isn't it better giving away some free codes for a few lucky people than not giving away any codes at all?
Actually I thought "Limited Edition" meant there was a standard edition, and I was getting things other players didn't, not stuff that everyone seems to be able unlock anyway.
I mean this is usually what "Limited Edition" means, like the different versions of HALO Reach had different items that could only be gotten with a code from buying the right copy.
Would of been cool to have a hologram on the scar when noobs didn't. but alas no, everyone got it with purchase, and it can be unlocked in game anyway.
As for the DLC, both HALO map packs were 800 points, albeit only 3 maps in each, but hey at least the effin game works and has people playing it.
For 1200 points I got an entire new addon for BC2 maps, weapons, vehicles, new player models, basically a whole new game, weighed in at about 1.5gig not 100mb and at least the effin game works and has people playing it.
Many of those "1200" pointer map packs usually end up as a deal of the week for "400" very quick, eventually the noble and defiant HALO maps will be free as is usually the way with HALO, but hey those discounted ones are usually for effin games that work and have people playing them.
Plus many 1200 point DLC are expansion packs that can add a whole new game to an existing title, or have 5 maps also in FPS adding ewntirely new content and areas, not just rips from the SP game and well they generally effin work and have people playing them.......
Anyone see a pattern here?
