agreed. i would say its not a very smart business decision to make a built in player base angry along with pricing something this way when your product is releasing around the same time as some other great games that will be competing for players. Releasing this expansion during the summer when there is fairly few new(decent) games releasing,this would have been an easier decision for most to spend the money. With so many good games releasing in the september to holiday timeframe,its going to be real easy for alot of people to move onto a new game. Bungie! you really are going to need to do something good to keep alot of these players around and entice new players to choose this game over the others that will be coming out at around the same time.
