Agreed with #32 and #33, it's definitely not that expensive, and I can afford it any day of the week, but it's the principle of buying content that was obviously planned to put in the game. IE the Horse Armor was made before the release, and the Orrery was definitely planned into the game if you haven't noticed the big door you can't get in to until you buy.
I could care less if they charged 10$ more for the finished game originally, just so long as they didn't hold off some of their product until after the game was sold, then offer it at additional cost. Even if the content now would only cost about 6$, the 10$ originally would have been more preferable. Now they can simply keep coming with more content, until they reach a total price of 20, 30, 40, who knows if they keep adding and start charging for patches. You can't tell me it seems right to sell a car to someone without a blinker, then offer it later for a little more money.
