Weekend Confirmed 101 - American Nightmare, Darkness 2, games that make us curse
by Garnett Lee, Feb 24, 2012 7:00pm PSTThe second century of Weekend Confirmed begins with a corker. Coin-op TV's Rob "Pennyman" Welkner joins Jeff, Ariel, and Garnett for episode 101. They've been playing games like Alan Wake's American Nightmare, Syndicate, and the Darkeness 2. With countless hours invested in Skylanders, Rob helps shed some light on how this unlikely game became a breakout hit for kids of all ages. Discussions also take a look at why we play games that make us curse at the screen, whether Mass Effect 3's day-one DLC is a must-have for the "complete" experience, and Sony's explanation and apology for not offering the PSP UMD "Passport" transfer service to Vita owners outside Japan. All that and more before Finishing Moves puts the exclamation point on the show.

For the DLC if I buy a collectors edition for a extra $20 it's nice to know I'm getting extra content. Meaning I didn't just waste my money on a collectors edition.
As for the psp program, and getting all butt hurt about it, yes I'd rather pay $5 then $10. That said if you have a vita that can download psp games you just spent at least $300 if you bought a vita game that $350. So you have some spare scratch complaints about the psp program are coming from late adopters as a reason to not buy a vita... Yeah like they were going to get a vita anyway, by the time they do psp games will be real cheap problem solved.
Seriously the whole vita psp problem sounds like a guy buying a Lamborghini and then complaining his BMW's rims don't fit on his brand new Lamborghini. You've got extra money to spend so it's a little late to get cheap now.

Because were it not for the possibility of selling the content as a CE pack-in or DLC and the revenue projections that entails, this content would likely not exist AT ALL.
They are not taking content off the disk. They are creating content to go alongside the content on the disk.
Repeating your erroneous stance does not make it more true.
