I do disagree with your thoughts that the cost is completely unwarranted. If the vs mode IS on the disc, then there really isn't a need to charge extra for it, because it was completed prior to the disc going gold. However, if it is not on the disc, then development on it likely started AFTER the game was finished, meaning it did require extra development time and extra costs. I am perfectly fine with them charging for that. It might seem like something simple, but it's still going to take months of development and testing time, which is VERY costly for a studio.
