Oh dear. I hope this isn't an indication that PS2 might end up being a subscription game at a later date. I only say that because the first one was subscription based.
Regardless, they risk going down the road of what I like to call the "throw in random stuff" route that DLCs have done. Wherever a multiplayer game can get away with it has yet to be seen really. Throw in too little and it's not enough (a big no no with single player games) but throw in too much (a big yes in single player games) and it becomes pay to win/get the most.
I guess the only way to know for sure how this is going to work out is to actually do it in this case. Which they are doing. I don't think too many players will desert if it turns out to be a disaster. Can't help but wonder if the box will say you CAN play it for free without the extra stuff though. If it doesn't then how many will look at the box and pass the game by entirely because they're under the impression it's a game you have to buy?
