Oh and you know what's really annoying, the fact that you peeps acrross the pond have got the "option" to download new add ons for Oblivion and kameo and you sit by your pc's moaning to the world about the price of these at least you have a choice, us brits have to make do with trailers and demos as the only option, to be honest i don't care about the prices if they too high for me then tough luck nevermind if i like a game that much it means im likely to get it and the add ons but without the option then we just have to make do with what we've got. im still happy. what we've got is still better than what alot of people have.

I think the problem is that there is too many idiots in the world that have more money than sense, now while i agree 200 points for 2 skins is a joke i have a solution that will more or less get you them for free. well almost, see here why pay full price for the game in the first place? the game will be on sale for years to come, so wait till you see it in a bargin bin for prob less than half price then get yourself some mirco points with the cash you save and heypresto you got the game and skins for less than what everyone else who rushed out to get the game and by the time you get the game the skins would prob be free anyway just like halo maps. I think what would make things better is if when checking out the info for the items they should say will make them all free after a certain time period so if you've got more money than sense this will benefit the seller and if your skint hang on till its free then everyone wins. if you want a game that badly and you go out and spend full wack then why complain about paying for add ons you are already playing into there hands save yourself all the grief of being ripped off pick up the games at a later date they will still be good and it wont hurt your wallets for the add ons.

The cavalry charge of Oblivion at The Ant Nest — Sun, 09 Apr 2006 00:36:47 GMT

[...] At the beginning of the week, Bethesda (the game’s developer) announced the first in a series of paid downloadable add-ons to the game, the first of which is some armour for the game’s virtual horses. This turned out to be quite the controversy - one place I saw the announcement clocked up over 400 comments. [...]

you make more sence then anyone. honestly we need more people who think, 100% i agree with you.

sadly though, i can see this snowballing into somthing nasty. like they would sell part of a whole game for 10 bucks and if you want the compleate game you need to pay the whole 60 bucks, then if you u want updates for crap like armor for animals then its gonna cost you a bit more.

i can see microsoft just milking this till its dead, and even then i think they will still try to beat it to squeze the extra coin out...

200Points is not that much(The Christmas pack for Kameo cost that much)and noone complained about that!
I never use the Horse in Oblivion(But i would buy the armour)because a love the game,never played a more complex and fun game before.
But i can´t download it because for some reason we here in Europe don get it! WHY?
I mean we can buy the game(But not the contont Downloads)dont get that at all.�

do you really care. SO WHAT! it makes ur horsey look pretty! WHoo HOo. DOES ANYBODY IN THEIR RIGHT MIND EVEN CARE!!!! Why?!?!? Even so, Microsoft is trying to get the best out of it. If anybody absolutely has to have it, they can spend 200 points. QUIT CRYING ABOUT IT!!!!!

DavidMBaker — Fri, 07 Apr 2006 06:29:46 GMT

They always said that the horse armour would be an additional download. They announced it a long while back. The way I see things is that they decided to release it as a test to see whether people would buy extra content for the game. Really the asking price isn't very high. I guess if it sells well we will see more content in the future. Hopefully any addones (official) that are released for the PC will be free to those of us with a 360 though. It would also be kind of cool if they released the best 3rd party content (for the PC game) onthe 360 each month, that could really help expand the life of the game.

This is insane! How can they charge for two skins! This microsoft points thing is getting out of hand!

oh how surprising it is to see, sp games trying to go the way of mmo monthly subscription fees.

more money = good.

it would be interesting to see though, how much of the 2.50$ the developers get?

The ONLY real way to fix this is for Microsoft to require a "24hr REFUND GUARANTEE" from anybody selling anything in the Xbox 360 Marketplace.

That way you have a chance evaluate what you purchased, then there would no reason for bad feedback of anythig sold.

200 MP for Horsey Fancy Pants? Are you kidding me?

Why not create a decent expansion pack where I can get that and other animals (I want to roam around in Oblivion on the back of a tiger! ala He-Man) and charge more? (IE: 800 to 1600 MP?)

Re:

Ed Burton — Thu, 06 Apr 2006 02:08:39 GMT

if you don't want teh extra content, don't pay for it. Would everyone stop making such a big deal about it? If it's worth it for you to pay a few bucks for some nifty new horse armor, then do it. I did. I'm two dollars poorer, but big friggin' deal

For all you Xboxers They are charging us pc users for this retarded stuff too. This is a complete waste of money.

Remember when they said that we the players would be able to create and sell our own content on XBL? Velocity Girl, selling shirts for THUG? Micro transactions costing between ten and twenty-five cense. Anyone remember any of that? No one is paying to see my Burnout Clips. Maybe 20 points would be acceptable for this horse download, then this purchase would actually be a micro transaction. 200 points might be acceptable if Microsoft was going to give me points every time I won a match of DOA4, NFSMW, or Burnout; but alas, it seems to be that there is no way on XBL to earn points so why should I spend them on anything other than buying XBL Arcade games. I want to f~king sell some virtual T-Shirts!
