I picked up the first pack last night, gave one of the maps a bash and was happy with the entertainment I received for pocket change. Tonight I'll work on the other and have a jolly good time. Marvellous.
Of course, Defense Grid is able to do this because it's split into separate, unrelated levels. With games such as Fallout 3, Borderlands or Oblivion, more expansive--and expensive--DLC makes the most sense. However, I always find it offputting to know $30 of DLC will soon be released for my brand new $40 game. I waited for Game of the Year editions before buying Oblivion and Fallout 3, and plan to do the same for Borderlands.
$10 is not a lot of money but it's past the point of a casual, impulse purchase for me.

Or you can use Unity3D. Which is FUCKING AWESOME. You write games in Javascript or C#, in combination with a visual object based envirnment which actually works pretty well. Unfortunately, there is still some vagueness on wether Apple will continue to allow Unity3D apps. For now they are still being accepted though.
XCode is free, Unity is expensive ($400 - $3000). And an iPhone developer program license will cost you $99/year.
