I was going to purchase Friday but if the dlc don't work then this has saved me a load of dosh . i have probably 70% of the dlc & whilst i didn't mind coughing up for pro mode on some if all further stuff don't work with RB2 then its lost me as a fan . GH has been a stagnant bore since GH3 & now RB3 set to screw me over . Typical EA game i suppose . The yearly £75 of downloads for Tiger woods should have been warning they would find an excuse not to support its back catalogue.

In fairness that's no different to not being able to use MW2's map packs on CoD4. Report Reply

Read Article » Go to VG_Staff's original post The point raised in the analysis is very important, they really are cutting off a significant revenue stream, unless people just aren't buying that much DLC any more and they're trying to encourage RB3 sales. last.fm \| raptr \| twit \| XBL \| PSN \| Steam Report Reply
