is it just cars or u get anything else...?
I like Forza 2 very much, but I simply refuse to spend more on it then I already did after I paid for the Xbox 360, Xbox Live, and the game itself..

this pack of cars for example should be 100 points
live arcade games 200 points.
Xbox origionals 400
demos should ALWAYS be FREE
all movies should be 200 (HD and SD)
why should we pay more for HD, its microsoft and big companies thats trying to incourage 'the HD era'... so come on, bring it on, but dont charge us extra please
100 MS Points for Road America.
@Jioann00
This is the cheapest per car carpack on xbox live and the cheapest track. Xbox Live Arcade games have equals to themselves on PC that cost over $20 making XBLA a great deal. Xbox Originals are full games and most cost less then the version you would buy in a store(Halo 1 is $25 used at Gamestop.). Demos are free.
All movies and tv shows on XBLVM come in SD format and some come with the option of HD format. HD movies cost more because not only are they 6x the resolution but they also use a whole lot more bandwidth.
BTW they aren't pushing HD down anyones throat seeing as the Xbox 360 can be played on any resolution TV.
Please research before opening your mouth.

A lot of consolegamers accept it because they never had extra content offered before, so they also have no histrory with it being free and all.. They think it's all normal and fine what MS is doing, charging for online gaming and every piece of DLC down to the smallest gamerpic, because they don't know better and are happy they can get something extra.. But I as a oldskool PC gamer do know better, and that's why it gets to me..
I've said it many times before, and I will say it again, MS should at least have made XBL totally free to use, also for online MP, then I wouldn't mind them charging for every little piece of DLC they offer on the marketplace.. But now it's just to much.. All in all PC gaming is still more expensive because the hardware is so much more expensive, but at least on that platform the spending ends once you got your hardware and the game you want to play, on the Xbox 360 it feels like the spending never stops, almost everything extra you do or want costs money.. DLC on the Xbox 360 has become a tool for the indutry to make more money of their games, it's not like DLC on the PC that's made to show they really care about the people that bought their game..
He said nothing inflamatory and you just jump on him.
but i should try to remember people dont know your tone through reading
honestly thats how me and my mates talk to each other (in real life), but always with a smile and a beer
relaaaax im sure he knows i mean no harm
and thats sorry to everyone on the thread i might have annoyed
im not a business man clearly, i was just saying what i would personally feel happy giving my money away for. the prices i listed was what i would feel happy about paying, not that i woudlnt pay the prices as they are. i wasnt trying to give business advice to one of the biggest companies in the world please understand.
but i think for a pack of virtual cars its quite steep, i mean your paying for something that dosnt actually exsist nor can be used in any other capacity.
and as for HD content, i feel its the future,but thats because ive been bombarded by advertisments everywhere telling me so, so i decide to buy an hdtv., then i go on xbox live and HD content costs more, i recently bought a HDdvd drvie for my 360 and i go into my local HMV and cant find a single HDdvd for it, i asked the assistant and she said they dont stock them. i just feel cheated a bit, so i was posting while bitter about having waste alot of money already, so i appologise to everyone im all carm again now :D

You get 300+ cars with the game when you buy it. Thats what you pay the price of the game for. Thats it. You dont get any other free stuff included in the future in that price.
So, if you dont want these cars, dont buy them. They are all ADDONS to the game, they dont exist in the package you bought earlier, so why the HELL should they be free for you??
Its like saying, hey i want that Rallysport engine upgrade for my Porche, even tough i never paid for it and just got myself a normal edition.
Idiots :)
You even suggest I'm living in a dreamworld making all this up.. Yeah right!!!

Dream on ignorant consolegamers you are.. Companies like MS loves people like you..
Even I as a non-native English speaker know that..
Look at Company of Heroes, or even the expansion. You STILL cant fuckin play it online due to the idiotic bug where 90% of ppl cant connect to ANY game what so ever online.
Now look at most 360 games, they...... uh..... They work! :O SHOCK AND AWE!
Ive been a diehard pc fanboy for my entire life. But i finally got sick of it, ive had enough of being told bullshit by pc devs that NEVER fix their games, you pay for a game and then it NEVER works the way its supposed to. And you never get a refund or anything, you are fracked.
Look at Crysis, there STILL are almost noone playing it online, due to the server auth bug where almost noone can join any official servers. So you sit there alone in a server. How fun is that? Is that worth the money? No it fuckin isnt..
Or Universe At War? Can hardly play online there either due to the craptastic online lobby system..
Yeah, whine about "its your computer, u suxx!". Ive been building computers for 11 years, so i think i know more than you.
Or what about Supreme Commander and its desyncs in almost every single online match, or crashes which were only fixed with the expansion, which you have to PAY FOR..
I'd rather buy a 60 buck console game and then decide if i want to buy 5 bucks extra for the DLC, than to pay 50 bucks for a PC game that just has bugs bugs bugs bugs and more bugs, that NEVER gets fixed.

And he's right, btw. Hell, MS even gave you lots of free content on the original Xbox, but we've all gone and forgot about that once the Halo 2 maps hit. Think about, for example, all the cool content that Crimson Skies had--I think (unless I'm remembering incorrectly) all entirely free of charge--if that game was an Xbox 360 game, you better believe that it would have cost you some Microsoft Money.
DLC is basically a scam. Rationalize it all you want, and keep buying "$60 games" that are supported with in game advertisements and loads of hidden costs.
PC games aren't nearly as broken as you're making them out to be. Your examples of why PC gaming is broken or irrelevant to this conversation are pretty irrelevant. Hell, look at Call of Duty 4--which has received several bug fixes already that the console versions are still behind on. Yeah, sure.. PC devs never fix their games, and console games never have them (insert giant rolleyes/lol here).
