It's not semantics. DLCs can't be bought in a brick and mortar store but expansion packs can. The keyword is "downloadable"--omitting the middle man (retailer with something to lose) whom often separates the wheat (every game) from the chaff (the games worth taking up shelf space).
it is semantics dude. do you think most people picked up boxed copies
of BC2:Vietnam? or, insert title for expansion here? no.
The only definite difference is the amount of content, it will always be less
than in an expansion pack. quality however, depends on the dev.
and i also highly disagree with b&m stores separating crap games from not.
what goes on their shelves is what they get paid the most to put up there,
not what offers the best experience. they could care less if it's wheat or
chaff, as long as it makes the money.
and by your reasoning, all xbl and psn games are crap too, since they are
only available through online networks.hopefully you know those respective
networks hold some real gems, that are 50~mb in size, $10, and offer hours
upon hours of play.
i think you are just wrong.
