30 Euros, so what? Thats about five or six packs of cigarettes or roundabout 19 litre Premium Gasoline, here in Germany.
(For the metrical challenged 4 litre =5.01 Gallon)

Seems SOME people have more money than sense

Also Kongo since you think its so damned cheap you can buy me a copy

And 30 Euros for a DLC that contains NO added aircraft or any other vehicles for that matter is JUST a RIP off by most peoples standards. Alot of bigger named companies sell there DLC for 15 bucks or less AND contain new items etc. So i don't see where you find 30 Euros being so cheap.. As i said 1st up more money than sense. And if i remember correctly werent these the guys that tried to sell a addon pack, same deal just a bunch of missions NO additional content for Silent Hunter 3? They almost got sued for not obtaining permission and were told to withdraw the leech product?

Regards

I find it very interesting how many people have prefabricated opinions here, judging a product that isn't even marketed.

The people promoting this mission-pack at least know the history of the company to deliver quality.

And those, which are saying it's too expensive, there are many hours of work in there and it's no hobby project, it's made to earn money.

This product serves a niche-market with a low number of customers, that is always more expensive than mass-market, in every product.

The difference to free products, as far as i experienced, is the more realistic approach and better research.

If you just want to have fun, the free missions will serve you well, but if you will try to relive what the pilots felt,
with no instant dogfight, but with hours of boredom paired with minutes of terror, dealt out as historical correct as possible atm, you should spend the money.

If it does what it says on the box, and contains what it says in the box, then it's in no way a rip off.

You may judge it expensive or not, but that's something different, and is a value judgement you're free to make.

Considering Clod prolly needs a £600 PC and a £100's worth of peripherals, £15 for some usable content doesn't sound too bad.

However, if it's missing half the advertised features, the half that remain don't work and you never hear from the guy that took your money then yes, you've been ripped off.

I would pay 10 euro for an English download version but 30 is too much for me when the game is not much more (or even cheaper) today.

Good luck to them anyway and I hope they're successful since I doubt the devs will produce any decent campaigns any time soon, at least for BoB.

The relation between the price for CoD and the mission-pack is absolutely irrelevant!

If you buy a stock Harley sportster it costs about 8000$, with all extras it costs 18000$!
