I think it's not about the ten bucks, but about what you get for that. People says that a DLC cost like a cup of coffee so you can buy it, but will you buy a glass of plain water that cost as a cup of coffee?

I live in Europe, and I payd the game 40-42 € after 1 week from D1

If now i buy all the DLCs i will spend 26€, which is 66% of what i paid for the game... for what? 25-30 "new" cars (most of them already in the game lol) and 3 track (only spa worth some money)

I still enjoy the game online (by the way, they should focus on resolving online issues because i paid for playing in a 16 room)

The funny thing from my point of view is that people says that you should buy dlc only for supporting PD, because if you do that they will release a great GT6... i say NO, if they will do a great Gt6 and that will worth (as Gt5 that totally worth the money i spent, despite online bug i mentioned before) i will buy it...

(returining IT) as well if they made a DLC that ADD something to the game i will be the first to buy it...
I dread to think that GT6 will be released with a lot less cars and tracks than GT5. The way the industry is going manufacturers don't need to give us a complete game when they can just charge us extra for add-on content.
 
Wow, two people requesting a thread that isn't even theirs to be closed. Why don't you let the mods make the decisions around here. It's not your job to decide which threads get closed, its theirs.
And yes, $10.00 may be alot for some people with todays economy.

Do you realize how many threads I have seen that are nothing but "whining?"

yeah, thats what im afraid of in the future.
 
Sure, $10 may not seem much if you look flat-out look at it. It's really the investment and value that gets out of it. Imagine having to pay $10 for a bottle of water? Sure $10 bucks isn't much, but for a bottle of water? You'd be crazy to accept that it's fine. In this case, we're talking about the value of the DLC, probably in relative to buying a whole game. If this keeps up, we'll be paying for as much as the cost of a new game, except we'll only be getting cars, and a few tracks without any new features or gameplay.

As much as a fan I am of GT, I'd have to admit that $10 for 6 cars may be a bit much, especially if you don't like all of the cars. Don't get me wrong though, I'd buy it anyway, but just because I'd buy it, doesn't mean I think it's the best value out there. The best value for all of us really is we just just get everything packaged in a new game that is GT6. I'm not sure how much longer I'm going to be able to keep up with having to pay DLCs in the coming months, but because I'm such a big fan of GT and PD, I'll try my best to support them.

I really do hope that Sony or whoever does the pricing will be more considerate, especially the fact that GT is a really popular franchise, and it wouldn't hurt to see the DLCs noticeably cheaper that what other games may have it for. Otherwise, they're probably just taking advantage of us.

yeah, thats what im afraid of in the future.

Yeah, the question now is really how far the majority of the fans are willing to go with this. From the looks of it, it doesn't seem to be slowing down one bit. If most of us are ok with it, it's pretty much dead certain the future will hold that fate. First few months is fine, but all the way till the release of GT6? How is that a good investment for us fans, and how is that gonna bring up the value for GT6?

Personally, I just hope GT6 gets announced soon. That way, there's more of a reason to stop DLC support.

It is £7 in the uk for both so don't you complain about rip off prices!

Let's be clear - AUD10 is just for the cars. The speed test / Route X track is another AUD7.

AUD17 is GBP11.46 which is about 64% more than the GBP7 that you are paying and seem so aggreived about. Oh, and both you and I purchase from the same PSN store.

Do you understand now?
 
Yes, I forgot that the Kiwi's have every right to feel even more aggreived - it's like compound exchange rate manipulation.
 
I know I'm in the minority here, but IMO even $5 is too much for these DLCs until PD provides us with an improved offline racing experience. There are already too many cars that I can't find a use for because they don't line up with the pre-canned races and arcade system.
 
In Australia the car pack 3 is $10
Australia always gets screwed with higher video game prices.

Why are you surprised or shocked by this? Is PD supposed to take a loss just to give you a lower price than the market has already established? If anything this thread just shows naivete.

I sympathize for you, but, uh, is this really bringing any new content to the table for discussion or telling us something we weren't aware of

And you are doing the same thing! People can write about what they want to about this game so long as they follow the posting rules. They do not need people like you saying to "close their thread". This makes it seem like there opinion does not matter, when in fact it does.

$10 does seem like a lot of money, but I can understand each country's currency has different values.
