Is anybody else getting tired of this pre-order incentive bonus crap? Just put the stuff on the disc and let us buy it when we have the money for it.

It's ridiculous. Game makers have gotten very greedy this gen. All the stuff that used to be free now costs extra. There's a limited edition of every game that costs extra for stuff that's already on the disc, DLC on the day a game comes, etc. It's sad.

I would like to have map but not buying from gamestop, period. i dont care about 3 hrs extra play when i already have over 30 hrs gameplay. I am sure i will be able to download and print the map online same day anyway.
Ubisoft keep this up and I won't be buying anything from Ubi.

edit: LBP, Fable 2, resistance2, gears2, NFS undercover, Tomb Raider and may be some more for this year already. My wife gonna hate me.
