For those of you who have bought add-ons for games, have you noticed their download sizes? I"ll bet that most "add-ons" (except extra levels on COD2, Halo 2 etc) are around 108kb. After reading the following, it started making sense. How can you have an entire dungeon in Oblivion be just 100kb?
Here"s what game developers and Microsoft don"t tell you - you aren"t actually buying the content, you are buying a "key" which will unlock content ALREADY on the disc. You paid the $50-60 for the game, yet you pay more for things which should be free (as most add-ons/mods are for the PC).
