For the most part, I enjoy the thought of downloadable content, extra maps for Gears of War, extra songs for Rockband, heck maybe in the future they'll have extra characters for fighting games like Guilty Gear or Tekken.

However, there is some reason for concern. What is going to keep developers from "holding back" certian features they would have otherwise added to the game. Imagine playing your favorite RPG, in my case Suikoden, and finding out that in order to recruit the last 8 characters for the 108 Suiko Stars would cost an additional $ 5.99, or playing as the Manchester United and Real Madrid in Fifa will cost an additional $ 1.99 a pop,? Worst case scenario would be that the ending of a game would cost you an additional $ 10! See where im getting at? I think it was better in thePS2 days,sure, there was no chance of getting extra stuff other then actual stuff like comic books and action figues, but at least you know you were getting the complete deal and you knew where you stood.

So far, nobody has abused this feature, except maybe for EA's Need For Speed Need for Speed: ProStreet and Guitar Hero 3... but still, its only a matter of time.
