Sony do a similar thing with their PS3 store,sell you a game,then offer extras and add-ons ,as they are produced at a much cheaper price.

Free updates may make you lots of friends,but not neccessarily keep you in business.

It actually has picked up more business for Tekin as racers change t get the free upgrades. Aparently Tekin sales have increased dramatically so it is a smart move
