when i read that i thought... ooo cool,

when i read 200 points i said.... FECK THAT!

no no no i dont think so kiddies, you rush this game out like kameo got rushed with missing features, kameos online coop mode is a free addon, like it should be, this, should have been in the game anyway, they add this tiny addition and expect us to pay 200 feckin points? no thank you!

iv already paid my £39.99 (69.53 USD) for the game, im not paying for missing features, gamer points are like £4.85 (8.43 U$D) for 500... so sod it!
Can i afford it? ofcourse! should i have to pay? HELL NO!
its about PRINCIPLES YO! (cough)

I love Oblivion and those horse outfits look awesome.

But I already paid $60 plus another $16 for the guide. i'm not paying for content that was no doubt done in time to include but left out so they could charge us for it on the marketplace!

It would have to be a hell of a lot more for my 200 MP!

 » WTF.

I just spent over $900 in the past 3 months on this damn xbox. The last game I bought was Oblivion, which I preordered. That $900 isn't including my other game systems such as my PSP or PS2. Oh I'm sorry, now you want more money from me, as nearly a thousand *****ing dollars from one kid isn't enough? Whoever put game updates on live for the price of 200 points can freakin' eat me. I just paid 60 damn bucks for your game, which might I add I'm not that impressed with, and now you want me to pay for a *****ing update? AN UPDATE?? WHAT IF THE GAME DIDN'T WORK AND YOU HAD TO COME OUT WITH A PATCH TO MAKE IT WORK, YOU GUNNA CHARGE FOR THAT TOO YOU BASTARDS!?

Microsoft can eat me, bethesda can eat me and so can that damn patch. I bought your damn game and that should be enough.

i cant believe people are getting angry over some optional armour for a horse lol. Its a gimmick. Id be angry if it was for a gamemode like multiplayer or something essential. But its just for looks. This game was worth every penny anyway.

The thing that pisses me off most is the fact that they already charged Xbox360 players $10 extra dollars for NO reason.... and then have nerver to charge MONEY for something so trivial... its insulting. Its the princible of the thing.

 » stop complaining

think of it this way. if you spent the extra money on the guide why are you guys yelling about this costing 200 points? if you ask me the guide is about as important as the armor and the armor costs less.

 » Meh

Who cares, no one told you to buy that dumb guide when everything is on the net for FREE. And again its not the COST of Download content, its the manner this was done. Especially when they jumped on the NEXT GEN cost bandwagon and charged 360 players MORE money for the same exact game... JUST because they COULD.

 » Well, heres an idea....

...dont buy the damn thing. Besides the moron a few posts up, dont get it. They wont loose any money, more than likely, but they'll sure think twice about pullin ***** like this again. And for that matter, dont buy any *****. Not the arcade games, and if you're buying the "themes" or whatever, you're too dumb to live.

 » noone buy it

they are making more content, if they see that people wont pay for new content they may lower the price or offer it free.

after a few months though i say go ahead if you want it.

See, to me guidebooks take away all the fun of a game. Especially with a game like Oblivion. Reading the guide you hesitate to take a single step in any direction that isnt dictated by your guide. If you cant figure something out then search and look and be persistant. If you keep running to the guide to see which way to turn at every intersection then wheres the fun. You might as well give the controller to your guide and hope it grows some oposable thumbs to play the game for you.

Anyway. I Cant believe they're charging for this! Its not like its an expansion pack or something! So stupid. I hope nobody actually buys this. This is another reason im so happy I bought Oblivion for the PC, MODS.

Mods make the world go round.
