Suppose we all have our own opinions on everything

I know I'll thoroughly enjoy the virtual "Day one" T-shirt I will be getting for my avatar. Oh, and my virtual clothes selection is bigger than my physical one.

Well spent MS-points.

@ Cosmic

Content being removed like that is certainly troublesome, same goes for servers going offline. That being said I haven't had any problems of that sort.

Hopefully, they'll get better at that in a more digital age.

I use the Xbox as an example as there have been various DLC removed from the XBL server. One I can think of off the top of my head is the DLC for Naruto Rise of a Ninja. The DLC for that game can no longer be downloaded. Even from your purchase history. So if your HDD packed in and you decide to get all nostalgic down the line, you'll still be able to play the original Unpatched version of a game, but DLC is a no go and if the original version is pretty much unplayable without the patch, what can you do then?

This is why I am against DLCs and other digital content which aren't available on disks. Including patches. Atleast with GOTY or complete editions, I will always be able to play the games without the worry of patches and such.

This is the reason I searched high and low for the version of Borderlands 1 GOTY that came with the DLC on disk

For whatever reason I got Borderlands for Xbox and some GOTY just came with DLC codes

EB have this available to preorder for $88, but doesn't mention anything about a steelbook case.

Knowing the way we get ripped off here in Australia, I wouldn't be surprised if it was just a piece of cardboard.

Steelbook holding a dlc code. MS is trying way too hard to get your money. Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

[web_slinger_62]

To be fair, it doesn't cost anymore than the code itself, so we're getting a limited edition steelbook for free

I just don't like the idea of spending my money on something I don't actually own and can't hold in my hands. The only Add-on content I have is on disks. I never played any of the Skyrim DLC until the legendary Ed came out a few weeks ago for example. Lol

Oh poor cosmic
There was a time when we would buy a game and it would be incomplete, my case is a game called fatal labrynth released in August 21, 1991
If any of you have played this, then you will know the frustration of running around a level killing everything on that level to discover there is no staircase to progress to the ext level
It happens all to often
Yep I'm aware this is a programming error, but a programming error that is due toissong game code and therefore incpmplete

there is a bit of a difference between a bug and an unfinished game, as a lot of the time bugs happen at random, i had one that left me unable to finish the new tombraider without restarting, its different from an incomplete game though

My first thread in the steelbook sub section of the forum and I destroy somebody's want to collect Xbox steelbooks! XD

I'll avoid posting anymore steelbook threads from now onwards!! XD

Anyway, I agree with you on the digital content thing. I already don't support DLC and when games go completely digital, companies will no longer get any money from me and I'll be thousands of pounds better off each year!

I know this is a few pages back, but bear with me...

I, like all of you, am obviously a collector. I get a lot of legitimate enjoyment out of building my collection, getting cool collectibles, etc. Your statement blows my mind, though. If you could no longer buy physical collectibles, you would give up gaming? I think that's losing site of the forest for the trees. Do you enjoy video games, or do you enjoy buying discs? lol

I would probably stop playing new disk free games, start playing older ones as i work backwards, would turn to pc only though for playing new games
