I love the idea of continually getting new levels through DLC for the L4Ds, but I also hate feeling like I am being nickle and dimed to death. They are only $7 a piece so far, but seeing as how they are given away for free to PC users, I'd think 400 ms points ($5) or less would be more appropriate. It is already bad enough that we have to pay for them, but I can look passed that because I think they are worth it and I'd rather be playing on my xbox than a PC. But what really rubs me the wrong way is not only having to pay for what PC users get for free, but that they also make them an odd price and only sell msp in even numbers (400, 800, 1200, etc. And most games you can purchase on arcade and most DLC are priced to match these numbers, except for L4D's. In order to dish out the 540 msp (I think that is how much they are) you have to buy 800 msp ($10) leaving an orphaned 260 points you didn't even want to spend money on that are now just floating around on your account, tempting you to spend it on crap you don't need... like eye patches for your avatar, or Lando's administrative outfit.
