This week everyone has been talking about the Mass Effect 3 Day-One DLC, and that got Adam Sessler thinking about how much we pay for games these days. In this week's Soapbox, The Sess brings up the idea of variable pricing based on the amount of content a game contains. Would you rather pay $60 for every game no matter what? Or would you rather have the option of paying only $40 for a game with a standard single-player experience?

In the past year or so it's become very common for new games to include an "Online Pass" inside the box. This code will unlock certain aspects of the game like multiplayer, co-op levels, or future downloadable content. It's pretty obvious that publishers have done this to encourage gamers to buy new games rather than used ones, but Sessler doesn't think it's the best idea. In this week's Soapbox, Adam explains the flaws he sees in this new business model and why the Online Pass may not be around forever.
