    Too bad it's really only been playable for about 1.5-2 of those years.


    In the early Emmert days heroside content was bland as shit and there wasn't enough content to support the grind in the later levels.


    Not to mention glaring balance issues. City of Blasters, anyone?


    And then neglecting the hell out of villain content because their dev team got cut to like 15 people.


    And then Castle using 'how much are players whining about something' as the new metric for balancing powersets.


    And don't even get me started on how they neutered PvP.


    And now relying on players to create content because the stuff they churn out now is bland and caters to heroes only while the villains get to play tagalong on hero arcs.


    I9-i12 was the golden age of CoX. Sad to see what they've done to the game after they worked so hard to fix it.

    If you can seriously get DLC from bottlecaps, not logging in and putting a secret code on Pepsi's website and downloading their adware/spyware, I would actually switch from Coke to Pepsi for a while. For a while.

    I remember when you could pop off the lid and see what you won. Now you have to take the lid off, go the website, enter some code along the lines of rrdx-34gb-4xxy-k432-r2d2-c3po, then enter your full name, date of birth, mailing address and telephone number and after ALL that you're told, "Sorry! Better luck next time."

    They used to get you to buy more soda in hopes of free soda. Now they get you to buy more soda in hopes of getting all of your personal info. that they can farm out and use to sell you more soda later.


    Soda? Song? None of it's worth all that effort. I'd just pay the 2 bucks to download the tune if I really wanted it.

    My money's on this being a 'Win 160 free Xbox/PSN points under the cap'.


    Which is far better than being forced to download a song you already have. And also means you can really spend those points on whatever you want, Rockband or not.


    Like I said before, there was a contest Kotaku linked to that promised free rock band tracks to the winner, and I won it. (it was for stride gum or something)


    What I ended up getting was a download code for 320 points. Aka, two free songs, as they promised.


    So bring it on, Pepsi. Its not like I dont drink enough of you already...
