DLC brings Video Game prices to an all-time high

For consoles, DLC (Downloadable Content) is something of old, if you consider 5 years, old. But in its 5 years, DLC has silently put game prices above the $100.00 price point. Here are a few examples.

Super Street Fighter IV: Initial Cost of Game $39.99; Cost of all in-game content $100.00; total cost of SSF IV = $139.99

Guitar Hero 5: Initial Cost of Game $59.99; Cost of all in-game content (about) $800.00; total cost of GH5 = $859.99

Fable 3: Initial Cost of Game $59.99; Cost of all in-game content $53.00; total cost of Fable 3 = $112.99

Forza 3: Initial Cost of Game $59.99; Cost of all in-game content $79.00; total cost of Forza 3 = $138.99

Battlefield Bad Company 2: Initial Cost of Game $59.99; Cost of all in-game content $58.00; total cost of BBC2 = $117.99

Red Dead redemption: Initial Cost of Game $59.99; Cost of all in-game content $40.00; total cost of RDR = $99.99

Borderlands: Initial Cost of Game $59.99; Cost of all in-game content $40.00; total cost of Borderlands = $99.99

RockBand 3: Initial Cost of Game $59.99; Cost of all in-game content (about) $3600.00; total cost of RockBand 3= $3659.99

Keep in mind that we did not add tax, nor did we add in the cost of themes, avatar clothing, etc. This is just in-game content. We would hope that all developers and publishers, along with Microsoft and Sony, would follow in the footsteps of Epic Games and allow their add-on content TO become free after a period of time. Not many people in this economy can afford a $100.00+ video game.
