Well, for a change, I thought I might actually post something on forum. Yes, I know we've all been (not any more - damn General Chat) using this to chat but really... Anyway.

Wow. Now, that REALLY makes me want it. I mean, a free link lead?
What's the point? OK, you're buying a game. Whooo. You have a link lead. Whooo. Do you want another one. Nooo. Are you actually paying for this "free" gift? Yeees.
It's like this other day. I went into my local Tesco express, wanting to buy some of those lovely Kinder Bueno 3-Packs, with the exact 92p . Yup 92p, for 3. Well, I look at the isle, the shelf, and it's place. And there they are, they're kitch red and white packaging gleaming in the neon lights cast from the frozen food section on my right, the reflection of a half open "Birdseye : Cod Fillet" packet distorted in the plastic creases. I check the packet.
Backgrounded in a bold red, the #660000 kind, white text states; "1 FREE BAR! 4 FOR THE PRICE OF 3!" . Wow, and all that for under a pound. Or so I thought...
To my horror, I looked at the price, and, in dismay, I found that it was now a shocking £1.02. I looked at my 92p. I looked back at the aluring packets of 4. I looked back at my 92p. Tears started forming in the corners of my eyes, slowling trickling down to seep into my mouth from the quivering corners. My nose turned into a gooey liquid, and began to dribble it's way down to my mouth. I turned away, and walked out of the shop.
A few seconds later, I walked back in, picket up a King Size Chiken and Mushroom Pot Noodle, 92p, paid for it, then walked back outside.
That day shall live in my memory forever. I shall never forget it.
Oh right. Yeah, add ons... As I was saying. In life, nothing is free. If it sounds to good to be true, it almost definately is.
Plus, game packagers (there must be a job for that), what's the point of bundling in already popular items, such as the indespencable link cable??? We saw it all before, when Donkey Cong 64 came with a suposedly free Expansion Pack. So many complaints... SO MANY!
So yeah. They should have done what they will do know. In the future. In the Future Of Gaming. Get to different packages - 1. Lacking the extra add-on. 2. With it.

Surely SOCOM is useless without the headset ? The title describes the game and the add on for it, doesn't claim it is free. you can bet money that if it said SOCOM 49.99 people would think you'd have to buy a headset as well.
It's like Time Crisis 2 with GCon 2 - people want to know they get the gun with it.
