on March 11, the DLC will be worth $0.

That is what I would like to get it for on March 11. That is all I am arguing.

Thank you

That's assuming the game alone is worth $49.00 on March 11. At that point, the game itself may be $39.99...in which case it could be viewed they are forcing the buyer to get the DLC as well.

Actually, no, it's still $10. Unless you plan on buying the game all over again and from Best Buy, the only retailer to offer this incentive.

I understand the basis of your point but this sort of logic is what I question - Any game that is sold later on with included DLC does not see the DLC content drop in price on the marketplace. If Mortal Kombat does come out with a new edition with the included DLC characters, I am not privy to it unless I buy the new copy as an owner of the original.

The market says its worth $0, that's my issue with this whole debacle.

I'll have to check if Best Buy's return policy is the same as Gamestop. At which point I will buy it from Best Buy, get the DLC for free, and then return it right back for the $50 I paid.

Is it really free on XBL now? If so, then that is something I did not know.

Best Buy doesn't allow you to return open video games, and their policy is 30 days I believe. Both which won't apply to many discussing this...
