gaming Most expensive ingame purchase/Add on

[Lost 1,410]

So, many games these days offer in-game purchases, some of us have bought our fair share of them.

 

Maybe its that nice hat in TF2, a courier in DOTA, a cool gun or some awesome character expansion pack.

 

So my question is to you all, what is your most expensive purchase of a SINGLE item/add-on for a game? and how did you justify buying it?

 

 

To be clear, what i mean by a single item is this: A set would count, for example an entire costume made up of single components, but buying a bunch of sets at the same time wouldn't, a DLC pack will count but its the cost of the pack itself, such a season pass.

 

 

 

 

 

The most expensive item i ever bought was recently, i bought 2 couriers for DOTA 2: Osky and Captain Bamboo, Both at the cost of £55 ($88) each, the only way i could justify it was that they should go up in value by next year :3

well, i am the forums (self proclaimed) biggest Dead Space fanboy.

that being said, i was actually too late to buy the special edition DLC's for Dead Space 2, since i was too stupid to pre-order.

i payed some other guy almost 200 euro's for a collectors edition of DS2 to get the DLC suits and weapons...

i still have trouble justifying it tough. right now i could get maybe 70 euro's for it, if i'm lucky.

that's by far the most i payed for in game content. and i bought every single DLC for Dead Space 1 to 3

Well nost expensive woukd for ne would be Black Ops 2 Season Pass at $49.99 and the reason I bough it is cause you saved $10 on all the dlc

The Black Ops II season pass almost wiped my wallet into a huge abyss. It did get me all of the DLC for free, but it was still expensive.

I have 2 of those, one for PC and one for Xbox XD

 

Its £34.99 for us in the UK, which converts to $56, so its more expensive for us for some reason :/

The most I've bought DLC wise was the 4 DLC packs for Black Ops 2, which were $15 each, didn't buy the Season Pass.

 

Don't regret it at all.

$100 ($50x2 for the complete DLC packs) for BF3 Premium on 2 platforms... (PC/360)

Thats about the gist of it tbh..

I'm rather picky about what DLC i will/won't get.

Such as I find little use for the CoD DLC since it makes finding games HARDER, and most people will disable it later anyways.

Or the many music tracks of Rocksmith (something like $200+ worth!) I've only bought TWO tracks for it in total..

 

One of the few games i get the DLC for but usually regret is the Halo games, Whoever had the idea that DLC needed to be locked to special playlists set ASIDE from the main lists.. well, that was just dumb.

But the numbers in game even show the DLC is always the least played content, which makes me wonder why the companies don't slip it in more smoothly, and lower prices a bit so its more widely accepted (and profitable)

The Sims 3 have the most overpriced DLC around, they cost as much as the base game itself! I even added it up once and there was over $400 worth of addon packs!

$2,875.27 worth of DLC!!! And thats with one pack on sale...

Even when its all on sale its still over $1,000.... 

Worse is to consider some completionist out there has actually bought all of that... I mean whoa... Thats pretty expensive stuff!

 

Not even a really high end looking game, and the sim part can't be that grand either TBH. Unlike say the DCS (Digital Combat Simulator) games where they have excessive detail in everything from aircraft control on down to the things you blow up

Probably  Season Pass for Borderlands 2...paid full price on Xbox...but got it for 75% off on Steam. don't regret it...I love Borderlands...and then I bought ALL the DLC on Steam during  a Borderlands sale they had...so I got all the DLC(skins, extra characters) + Season pass for about $20

 

BlackOps 2 map pack..I find them over priced. Even with the season pass.

 

 

In my opinion,DLC is just a money grab for companies. no matter who you are....now,some games do have free DLC, but it's rare.
