Whoever voted "I'd only get it if it was free." should grow up a little and see that not everything in life is free.

Whoever posted the above comment should grow up and realize that not everything is worth paying money for. I'd say an expansion pack that, if on the original Xbox, would have been free does not constitute paying 15 dollars for. 60 bucks for a game is steep enough, 75 is outrageous.

Whoever posted second should go out and get a paper-round. Unless you work for a charity for free you have no place suggesting that developers should spend their time making stuff for you for free.

I believe that ince I have allready bought the game, I should get everything that they add to it for free. I shouldn't have to pay again. I don't mind buying XBLA games but I do mind having to pay for something that should be included with the game.

Keep in mind it costs the people at ubisoft a lot of money to make the stuff they put in this expansion, its just like project gotham, and the microsoft people said, it costs money to make these, and all they did was add a few cars! they are adding 4 new co-op missions, a new game mode which is extremely fun, the four new maps are huge, the re-lit maps are amazing and the lighting is great, the new guns are awesome, and the new camoflauge works great! with all this stuff added, it probably cost them a lot to make, give them a break here. everyone i know that has it including myself thinks its a great addition, and if you have the game you should get it.

Got it, and feel it was worth it. The entertainment value of it will last a long time compared to other things in the same price range. A 12 pack of Guinness, 3 packs of smokes, a pizza, 3 maybe 4 shots of Whiskey... they're all the same price and last a few measly moments.

I probably should've gotten the 12 pack of guinness now that you mention it...

I love the co-op, but it's only good with like 8-10 people. Last time you could beat them with like 3 guys.

Didn't really feel it was worth $20 from me, but I bought it... only because of friends list peer pressure. Yeah we all know it exists, but we seldom talk about the dangers of this type of peer pressure. So this post is going out to you, RedPhantom - I hate you so very much.

P.S., you're aren't my commanding officer either. See you online.

I think the worst part about it, well, other than it is not worth it... is the fact that you are stuck with it. If it was an expansion disc, then you could at least sell it to a friend or trade it in on a better game.

What a great way to treat your loyal fans UBIsoft, what's your next move... kicking our dogs?

wheres the expense in changing the lighting of a map?but at the same time its a good bit of content too bad they didn't do anything for sp though,even if it was just fixing the AI or relighting the maps unless they're saving that to charge $30 for

I have no problem with companies charging for extra content, however the prices need to be kept reasonable. I simply don't believe this content pack is worth $15. The new weapons aren't really anything 'new' as they are all just minor modifications to the weapons that shipped with retail. Relit maps doesn't intrigue me all that much, perhaps more play time with them will convince me otherwise, but again it's nothing really new.

So the only new content you are getting here is 4 coop missions and 4 adversarial maps. The maps are alright, but seeing as how I don't play coop they weren't worth 15 dollars alone.

Digital distribution is still new so it's hard to gauge price points on additional content. Ultimatly it is up to the consumers if they feel the content is worth it or not, and the companies will adjust (i.e. Horse Armor)

I was surprised by the results of the poll so far. I thought there would be more yes votes as I am one of the only guys on my friends list playing GRAW who did not get it.
With all the drops from live GRAW games (still occuring after the new content according to my buddies) it just doesn't make sense to me to invest more money into this game.
Unfortunately that means no more live GRAW for me but it will free up some time to finally play the campaign.
I will be getting the COD2 maps since that is one of the few games that works reliably on xbox live.

Maybe all the yes voters are too busy playing?

Stop your whining!!!! Yes you bought a game that cost $60 now you are getting more content which equates to about $15. It cost ubisoft 2 months or longer of making this for you and they could have just release another dvd and made you pay full price all over again. But instead they are trying to recoup some of there cost so they can make many more great games for you. Basically you are getting 1/4 of a new game for 1/4 the price. Seems fair to me. Nothing in life is free. Get over it and pay the money it is worth it.

I was surprised at the poll results as well. I figured there would be more yes vote due to the amount of people who had it online, but its seems a majority of them are young kids charging on mom and dad's credit card.
This is one of the top selling games for Xbox 360 and Ubisoft has made a bunch of money off this and the Ghost Recon franchise, it would have been nice for Ubisoft to do something for their fans instead of trying to get more money out of them. They should have followed in Bungies foot steps. Thanks allot Ubisoft at least we no we matter.

$15 is pretty steep for any DLC. I think $5-10 should be the price marketplace settles into.

That being said I'm working on PGR3 DLC and you best believe that DLC is not free to make, and it is not content that was "held back".

I'd love to vote on this poll and download the new pack, however my 360 took a dump and is currently in the possesion of UPS on it's way to Microsoft repair. I need my 360 j00 bastards!!!!

Jason, when you say that Ubi should follow in Bungie's footsteps and do something for their fans I assume you mean they should release 2 maps free, then charge for the remaining 7, and release them all at retail for $20?

I bought them so I could continue playing with all the guys I know who play. They're cool enough. New missions are really nice, but the price was a little much for what you get for it. I think if they left it at 8 or 10 bucks, more people would have jumped without hesitation. I don't regret buying the extras for such a great game, but it sure makes me miss the old days of Unreal Tournament when you could download a 100 new maps for free every day.
