DLC is the new black in the games industry.
And to be honest, I like seeing a massive list of tracks when I load up Rock Band 2. All but 2 RB1 songs, all RB2 songs, and all DLC. I have such a huge selection that I rarely play the same playlist twice. The replayability at parties is absolutely insane. Sorry that this shit doesn't come free, but i'd rather pay per song that I actually give a crap about rather than keep buying discs of hit-or-miss songs.
Paying $1-$2 a song that can be used in 4 instruments, 4 difficulties, in two games at once and in a multitude of ways is not being greedy. That's giving me what I want and letting me choose what I want out of it.
Warner Bros records (home of The Flaming Lips, one of my favorite bands) stated that they wanted prices to go up for DLC tracks before their artists started getting into these games. Harmonix and Activision told them to fuck themselves. So as you can see, the industry doesn't have as much power as you think it does.
