Sorry Seraph but here I disagree with you, the game was priced at full price £40 GBP here. THAT is why some have a problem, others got it alot cheaper. THAT'S why ANOTHER £5 is an insult.

yeh it was £40 at game..but cos they messed my preorder an didnt have my code the manager knocked £10 off for me.rather woulda had the codes though

£40 = €43... that's normal for you guys? Lucky bastards..
Still, it's optional, won't impair gameplay if you don't buy it, and has nothing in it that's necessary to have in any way. I can imagine you're pissed (ok.. I can't, but I'm not judging you on that or anything) but there's not really a reason to start flaming this DLC, and the release of it.

Well I for one will buy it. If it means I will get some more missions and more planes. I said from the beginning I would buy anything they put out for this game because I was a die hard fan of the original and I love flight, and I love my ps3

Im with you, because I too am a die hard simulator fan, especially flight. I have been wanting a good flight simulation type game for some time. A year ago, I was planning to build a powerhouse gaming PC at the cost of about $1500, JUST to do some good flight sim on it, with good realistic graphics, and speed. Then, my gamer son told me about BOP for the PC, and I was more stoked about building that 4 figure gamer box just for it. Then just before I dropped that $1500 for PC parts, my son told me that BOP was going to be released for the XBox 360. I didn't have one of those, because I have never been much of a gamer. But, I did know the Xbox had great graphics even though it had some QA issues. But, hell, I priced those and at under $300, I could get the graphics I wanted, and another $50 for BOP when it was released, that is a HUGE cry away from the nearly $2000 I was going to drop for a PC build, and software. So, I bought the 360 in anticipation of the release of BOP, and enjoyed other stuff while I waited (Like Baja, another great off road sim game). I pre-ordered BOP as soon as I was able too, and with a game library of 12-15 titles, some upgrades to my 360, I am still WAY under that original buget for a gaming PC. So, as for myself, i am truly thankful for the developers work on making a good flight sim for the console, and hope that they get the support they need to stay with it... I plan to continue my support of them, to keep supporting my simulator habit...

Don't get me wrong, I want it, I want the P-47 and the TA-152, i just don't see why it should cost me MORE than a full price game, to have what everyone should have. but £40 is alot for me and my girlfriend at the minute, (Thank god its my birthday next week so that I could use the opportunity to acquire Modern Warfare 2 and Operation Flashpoint 2) every other console game with Pre-order stuff allows you to unlock it or GIVES it you a few months later. They don't make you pay for it. And I'm curious about the bastogne missions, I have great interest in the battle of the bulge. I'm not flaming, I just think they're really taking the piss, be it Microsoft, the devs, or the publishers, whoever is responsible for it. (And I didn't know that DLC was done well before release date, like Anton said, that's new, but it does make sense) And I don't even care that its out before the TU, I don't care cus the TU will fix the plane issues etc. it's all gravy, it's SOLELY the price that peeves me. JUST that, NOTHING else.

If you guys paid £40 you bought it at the wrong place. Tesco had/has it on sale from Release day at £30. I get all my games at Tesco now simply because Game/Gamestation are taking the piss on prices and on trade-ins.

Thanks for the info, only 2 days then!:grin:

I may have to start doing that, partly cus ive run out of games I want to trade in now :S they are piss takers. the only reason I could get BoP was to trade hence why i used gamestation.

I was in Gamestation yesterday picking up an MS racing wheel (another story) and I spotted that they wanted £50 for the new Marvel game, £45 for DiRT2, and had a shelf space with pre-order markers for Forza 3 price set to £50.

Now thats seriously taking the piss. And IIRC it might actually be illegal for them, because back in the 90's the EU passed a law stating that no computer game could charge above a pre-set maximum price and it could ONLY charge the max if the game contained new technology. Hence why some games made on pre-made engines (Unreal Engine etc) are cheaper to buy new.
