A large number of gaming companies are choosing to do this now. With the increase in popularity of the marketplace services that gaming consoles offer, more and more companies are adding downloadable content for their games. This content can be absolutely anything, Halo release new multiplayer maps whereas GTA release new campaigns.

Adding game content helps to keep sites that write video game reviews, as well as the gamers happy, it helps to keep the game fresh with new things to find and do. It also keeps achievement whores busy because basically all the content packs come with new achievements.

The way you buy the packs is pretty simple, all you have to do is access the marketplace service offered by your game console. You also pay via the specific payment methods of that store, for example, Microsoft Points. However, many people are finding that the problem is that they have to own the disk of the game to be able to play the newly released content.

During the current credit crunch, to be able to get their new games, many people are choosing to trade in old ones where they have out lived their use. Unfortunately, some people find that once they trade a game in, new content is released or announced. This problem isn’t just for people who want to play the new content. People who love getting the full amount of achievements are finding it a pain because the new game achievements are added even if they don’t buy the content. For example, if you have 1000/1000 Xbox achievement points on a game, you have 100%, but if new content is released and the points go up to 1000/1500, you now only have 66%, but you haven’t got the content to get those achievements.

This is where many people are finding the problem lies where they no longer have the game and cannot play the content. However, this is beginning to chance for the better because many companies are releasing the new content onto disc. GTA 4 is the latest company to do so because they are releasing their next downloadable content onto a standalone disc, as well as their previous content. This simply means that you no longer have to own the GTA 4 disk to be able to play the new content.

The only problem with this is that many companies are only releasing their packs onto disc once they have a few to add. Watch out for when video game news sites report a release date for the next installment of GTA 4 game content.
