The only reason why I play is that my friends play it, so we can actually try to have some fun.Like some would say, I bit the bullet once, but not twice.

I think you actually missed the point of that post a little.

My friend bought Bad Company 2 for five quid in a sale.

Does that mean everyone who bought it for full price at release is a liar or???

And since they already have those people's money they're now free to make the DLC as mediocre as they feel like making it.

I don't want all of the DLC so i am not going to pay $50 for premium. Armoured kill may be the only DLC i buy so i will be saving $35. thumb.gif

It's malarkey. If you bought the game for 60 bucks, your full purchase is 110 dollars? I could honestly see $30 - 35 for Pre. but my tolerance level blinks a bright red around 80 bucks on games.
The whole argument with 'If ye buy cod every year, this is the same thing'. Not to the people who don't.

Good job EA thumb.gif Clearly this strategy is working out right?
