SoulCalibur IV Downloadable Content

I'll pay $10 to get Kratos and lightsabers for our own characters.

360 will dominate this most likely. With the money they can throw around, I won't be surprised if they get more DLC/bonuses than us. -_- But if Bamco get's Kratos in the game...I wouldn't care about that.

I don't get it...how can you get Kratos?

I'm not so sure what this DLC thing is about.

It's basically additions to be bought of the marketplace thing on the PS3/360 (buy, download, and have forever and ever). I'm not sure if they'll even have Kratos, just stating that I'd buy him off there if possible.

This stuff looks good, I'm definitely going to get the Character customisation parts. Don't really care about the BGM downloads but if they are free then, hey why not.

I hate DLC, it is such a rip off (you are paying the developer to leave stuff out)! That said, the only DLC I would even consider is Yoda and only because this game really does feel incomplete when I can't have a Yoda versus Darth Vader match. I would buy it, and hate myself for caving in.

After hearing about the planned DLC, I don't really want this game anymore. I'm on the fence again. It's hard to pay $60 for an incomplete game.

I would pay a quid for the exhibition theatre.

I think it depends what you're paying for. If it's something that they worked really hard on, and started working on after the release of the game, then I'd say it's not a piece of the game that they simply left out. Certainly, many people aren't willing to have to see the game delayed for more content.

As I said before, if it's something the game should have had, such as Hwang or Li Long, and modes like Team Battle...Survival...ect... then it should be free.

Whereas add-ons to the series such as unique guest characters, isn't something that is missing from the game, but something that they're doing for it that is unique.

Expansion packs are always nice to buy for my favorite games, but they have to be a substantial addition for me to purchase them. I did buy Shivering Isles, which was worth the $30 price tag. I also appreciate how motorstorm releases free holiday vehicle skins, and how guitar hero will occasionally add a new free song (I never buy new songs). I would be very happy if SC added Santa hats as armor during Christmas (as an example), though I wouldn't be willing to pay for it.

For the most part though, it seems like most downloadable content should have been in the game at the initial purchase. Like how PAIN was launched with new $1.00 characters for purchase, immediately after it was released. If the SC developers are planning DLC and are thus leaving parts of the game out to sell later, then that pisses me off. $10 is a lot of money for DLC, I wonder what they are planning on selling?
