I almost died laughing the other week when I was playing R6V online, and saw an ad for Assassins Creed in the lift.

By that I mean I was laughing at the advert, and someone shot me from behind.

If the devs are getting money from adverts, then they should either make DLC free, or they should give us some other form of benefit. We put up with adverts on TV because it means the programming is free, so something similar should be applied to games.

Isn't the DLC for Rainbow Six Vegas free though?

I'm a bit curious, but what console were you playing on? If this was on the xbox360 version that be quite a lot of BS, seeing as how it's pay to play service.

It is free now, but originally paid for. It was just an example of companies such as Ubisoft in general, not a specific.

I pay for satellite TV, but I don't pay for the channels. Live is a service that is not paid for by the devs, the same as you pay your ISP, but the websites are often advert funded.

You must LOVE sequels and rehashes.

Actually, there was a version with and a version without the headset. Headset one costs a bit more... how much more? About the price of a headset. :)

This is from the company that tried to sell me TR:A on Xbox as a non-sellable/non-transferrable download (that requires TR:L to play) when you can buy the non-restrictive disc for the same price.

If there's any restriction it's that you can't sell that downloadable content back, and that's purely the fault of the content holders, not MS.

So I'm the only one who saw the word constraints and assumed it was referring to Lara's top?

Okay, I've read the original article three times now and what exactly is Cooper saying? "PSN is better and more flexible because downloadable games can be bigger." Duh. Great list of arguments.

I tried to PURCHASE seven songs for SingStar last night via PSN. The "shopping" is integrated into SingStar directly with only the purchasing done via the standard PS3 browser. PITA! Several times when I put a song in the basket, the game said "The store is not available right now" and threw me back to the menu, sometimes losing all the stuff in the shopping basket. Although I have to admit that the video preview directly in the in-game store is pretty cool (compared to the gray text-only lists on XBLM). But the kinks when purchasing really need to be ironed out!

I've honestly never heard anyone ever, in my life, use the word pita as an exclamation.
