Tell us how you really feel: What DLC did you buy to play this holiday?

Today we ran a story on downloadable content and what it could mean for the future of boxed games. We also noticed tons of DLC hitting Xbox Live and PlayStation Network. You tell us what you bought.

The big batch of DLC hitting XBLA and PSN today included Battlefield Bad Company 2: Vietnam, a Mass Effect 2 demo for the PlayStation 3 version, Fallout New Vegas: Dead Money, and a Dead Space 2 demo. Also, Blizzard released a StarCraft 2 demo on PC, but that didn't catch our attention 'til late in the day.

So, to start off:

Sound Off: "What DLC did you buy in the last three days to play over the holiday?" Best answer wins a random game for their system.less than a minute ago via TweetDeck


Most of you mentioned the new hotness DLC today, but a few went with older packs or stuff that fell completely off our radar. Here are some choice responses:

But our winner is Shane_For_Wax because we admire her restraint with all this amazing DLC already out.

@GamePro I didn't buy my DLC. I'm saving up my points for the bigger DLC. I'm hoping to buy Black Ops DLC and Noble Pack at the same time.less than a minute ago via web


If you haven't already, give our DLC analysis a quick read -- see if you feel "nickel and dimed" with all this content you could buy.

What do you think of the responses? Are there any movie series that you'd add? Please continue the conversation by posting a comment below or by replying to GamePro on Twitter.
