Honestly, the map packs save me money in the long run. They keep me playing more. Buying a $60 game and getting maybe 20 hours out of it, and then going out and buying a different game is pretty normal. I bought CoD for $60, and both the map packs at $15 each, but I put over 200 hours into CoD. Thinking about it...if I would've put that time into my education I could've been two or three semesters down by now. Ugh.
