You're talking about the game, I'm talking about the DLC. As I've said numerous times I have no problem with the game being cheaper. Hell, I have no problem with the DLC being included for the cheaper price, as long as that DLC is now free to all users.

The season isn't even in the playoffs yet and I'm going to have to pay $20 more than someone who buys the game Mar 11 to play the same version they have? Because I bought it day one? I don't understand how this made sense to the 2k execs.

Ah! Also, to your depreciation point. You are correct. A car goes down in value like 50% once you drive it off the lot. So, in line with that, you're basically saying the DLC has depreciated to a value of $0 right? So why on Mar 11 will I have to pay $10 for it? I wouldn't have to pay full price for a used car that depreciated itself, right?

The DLC is not free they put it in a package deal, who is to say the price of the game was not the one that dropped to 20-30 and the DLC is still 10.

I suppose you could argue that point but that seems unlikely. I would assume then that it would come with a code for the DLC that you could then sell to make up the $.

*Sigh* Say it ain't so 2k. I hate when games do this because it is a slap in the face of the huge fans that buy the game it comes out. Plus instead of focusing on this extra unnecessary stuff they should be fixing some of the numerous problems with the game people complain about.

That's some funny stuff man

I doubt i'll play 2k12 again this year. Not that i don't like it, it's just so damn confusing sometimes.

On Black Friday the game was selling for 30-40 dollars that was how many months ago ? this is just a business decision by 2k to take advantage of all the recent attention the NBA has been getting with players like Lin to squeeze the last bit of juice from 2k12.

We never asked for it to be free. But now that it is free, why shouldn't it be free to everyone? I guess that's my main issue (and one that I'm speculating on because who knows if it will be free on march 11). Forget about those who paid day one and also day one for DLC, they are kinda screwed but at least they had "advantages" to buying early. But why should I (day 1 customer) have to pay for DLC that a day 200 customer is getting for free (and is paying $10 less for the actual game, as expected, too)? If you can give me what seems like a legit reason I won't harp on the issue.

It's called an incentive. People do this ALL THE TIME in sales... they are willing to take a loss on DLC just to spur new sales of the game.

So other companies don't do this?

He gets paid to promote the game to ANYONE that is interested in 2k Sports titles, NOT just fans of NBA 2k. Some of you seem to forget they sell other titles as well. Heck, there are baseball fans who are going to buy the 2 pack of MLB and NBA together - it's the same exact thing.

I am wondering if they are going to at least give you the 01-02 kings and 90-91 warriors will also. That would be nice if they do, cause a lot of people missed out on that. I had to get a new ps3 cause mine was stolen and I am **** out of luck even though I bought it on opening day because play station network made me sign up under a different user name so I couldn't redeem the code again. so that would be worth the buying the game again.
