Whats with the lack of XBOX Download Content???
I only own one game that I have gotten to download something new (other than fixes) and it was just 2 new cars for Rallisport Challenge 2, nothing for Tiger Woods or Halo 2 , what gives

How about some more crash courses for Burnout 3?
I always kinda figured d/l content was more of a marketing ploy to get people to buy live than an actual living/breating service.

Yeah, once a game has been out for a while, what incentive is there for companies to put out free content, except for the rare cases where there is a subscription fee (like for a MMORPG or something)?

It is a marketing tactic, but not just to consumers. MS is capable of inticing developers by saying they can patch and sell additional content latter after a game is released. Only problem is they are finding that there arn't enough people willing to pay for more content. So why make it?

Sad thing is I have to spend time looking up how to do them so that I can combat them. With people hiding outside the map in the bomb games, and such.... ARGH... just thinking about it pisses me off. Yea, I know that they said that the fixes will be there at the end of the month, but it will still have been 5 months that the game has been broken. I have never played a game that had so many people willing to cheat, and a game creator who just did not give a damn about it.
Ok, that is the end of my rant for now.

Its not like it is my first online game. I played Battlefield Vietnam, Medal of Honor, and Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory and I never, and I mean never ran into people who cheated. Yea, I have logged alot of hours on Halo 2, more then any game before save Wolfenstein:ET, but damn... I am willing to bet that every 3rd or 4th game I have people either glitching out of the map, pressing their standby button on the modem, or doing a clone of themself.
