Thanks everyone for sharing your thoughts. I guess I'm just expressing disappointment that if this is truly the case it seems as though there are no more surprises for the next year.
I think that is one of the drawbacks of this model vs. the DLC route. I know this game is getting compared a lot to Skylanders but I actually find more similarities to LittleBigPlanet. And what was great about that is they were constantly releasing really cool DLC so there was also some surprise right around the corner.
I'm really hoping that I'm wrong here and that there is more on the disc than meets the eye and we get some nice content surprises over the next year.
