Are you also mad that GTA4 is getting those exclusive episodes on 360? I mean, I understand what you're saying, but you can't be mad at people if they accept cash for some extra love. We're not talking politics here, after all (we sorta are, but you see my point). If Microsoft wants to throw money at the devs/publisher to get some bonus junk, that’s their prerogative to do so.

I'll be the first to admit I'm not a business guy, but I believe that within reason they could've thrown those songs on the Marketplace with some advertising in the description, kinda like Discovery with that Gears of War map pack a while back. Not to mention our PS3 brethren, that as far as I know, are getting left out in the cold.

Why would you complain that OXM is giving away free stuff? They do it all the time. They gave out some Oblivion DLC that you otherwise paid for, and they also gave out Chapter Two or whatever for GRAW. I don't see how you can be mad that OXM is appreciating their readers, especially since you seem to be one of them. You’re crazy! Why would you complain that OXM is giving away free stuff?
