Unlocking Keys Disguised as Downloadable Content?
master ninja has come up with an interesting discovery. He found out that the file size of several post-release downloads is only 108 KB, an impossible size for additional content…unless the content is stored in the game’s disc. In which case, users would actually be buying a mere unlocking key for that content.
I couldn’t find a topic about this exactly, so I decided to make one. I made this list myself by just looking at the Marketplace, so if there is anything I missed please let me know. If you only take away one thing from this topic, let it be the fact that if the game content you bought from the marketplace was exactly 108.00 KB, you just got suckered into buying a “key” to unlock content that is already sitting on your DVD!
The following is the list that “a Master Ninja” has compiled so far:
