| Of course, an ass-ton of DLC to compensate for the lower price point. Clever, but annoying. |

| @#1 - It's one of THQ's new incentives, and personally, I think it's rather intuitive and savvy. Win-win for gamers I'd say. |

@3 lol "Thumb up" you only diserve it because you made me laugh.
OT: Ive wanted to play MX vs ATV since the day the franchise started never did though. Will have to try it out, to bad there is a whole boat load of top of the line games coming out this year. Should be good though and love the price. |

| So we will get 60% game on disc 40% game on dlc for $40? Will probably cost $70 for the "full" game. I'm assuming there will also be a $10 code to access 50% of the game on disc and to access 100% of the 40$ on dlc. Wow we're getting closer and closer to the digital distribution and I'm not liking where this is going :( |

You're going to wind up paying 40 dollars for 40 dollars worth of game, with the rest being held back as paid DLC.
There's no savings here, no consumer benefit.

"With innovative technological advances and an unparalleled variety of content, the MX vs. ATV franchise has always led the pack in the off-road racing genre,"
MX vs. ATV are fun games, but to say they've led the pack on off road games? Colin Mcrae's Dirt games shit on this franchise. |

| #8 I thought it meant Bike style off-road games? because you can't get cars in this can you? nor can you get Bikes in Dirt? or am I wrong... I know you can get buggy's and monster trucks in MX Vs ATV untamed, but THQ said this is different to the others, well anyway. When did THQ change there logo? D: |

@11
I just meant the Off-Roading genre in general. I'd choose Dirt over this anyday, and THQ changed their logo just last week. |

| @#7 - It's a cheaper entry price point. Whether it costs you the same in the long run is entirely up to you. If you like it, then you will buy the extra content and spend $60 on it. If you didn't or you weren't thrilled with it to the extent that you've had enough, then you won't buy it. At the end of the day though, you'll only be $40 out of pocket rather than $60. How is that a bad thing? It's less risk for you, which is a good thing. |

and half a year later you get the main game for 10$ and the DLC is still 30$ or whatever.
I wont buy such a game new on release day so I would have probably picked it up later when they lower they price but with the DLC staying at the same price the whole game will never be cheap enough.
I just want a full game on a disc, no DLC, no codes, no updates.
A game that has all features it needs, an amount of maps/levels/tracks that keep you entertainened long enough, with acceptable loading times without installing and is rather bugfree right off.
Wasn't that what console gaming was all about in the beginning, put that fucker in, press start and get going? |

| I'm curious if THQ will be using the same pricing strategy for their next Red Faction and Saints Row games. |

| I miss good old days when every DLC, be it made by community or the devs, was free of charge. Microsoft fucked up this order of things when we would pay $40 for a game and not have to apy anything extra for playing online, DLC's and such. I might be making more money than I was 8 years ago, but I can't justify how the ratio to spending it on games stayed the same. And ppl say we live in better times:-( |
