Spend $15 and nearly double the content in Nintendo's upcoming 3DS golf game.

Three DLC packs are coming to Mario Golf: World Tour after launch that will add six 18-hole courses and four playable characters. The packs will be sold separately for $5.99 each or in a season pass that will be $14.99.
The first pack, called the Mushroom Pack, launches alongside World Tour on May 2 and will include two new courses and a playable Toadette. The Flower Pack will follow later in May with two more courses and a playable Nabbit. The final pack, out in June, is the Star Pack and will add two more courses and Rosalina as a playable character.
Additionally, season pass buyers will have access to the character Gold Mario right away, while everyone else will have access to the golden character after all three packs are out. Gold Mario has a Golden Flower shot that gains coins for every yard the ball travels. Coins can be used to buy in-game content such as new clothing and golf accessories for your Mii.
If you're on the fence regarding the downloadable content, Nintendo will host Trial Tournaments that let players try out portions of the new courses before buying.
See the gallery below for images of the courses and characters!
The main game is as big or bigger than previous games, and the total game+DLC package that includes far more content than usual costs $5 more than standard retail for a 3DS game. They also tell you all that going in. I wish the rest of the industry did things this way.
This isn't Nintendo succumbing to the dark side; this is Nintendo showing everyone else how it's done.
Well, for one, the main game is $10 cheaper than the standard price for a 3DS game. Second, that main game includes as much or more content than any previous Mario Golf game.
Look at any season pass from any other company, and find me one that gives more additional content for less money, with a completely full-featured base game. When you do that, I'll entertain the idea that this isn't a superior way to handle this kind of thing.

Bioshock Infinite.
20 dollars adds at least 8 hours of game play. Stuff that isn't apart of the Disc.

Yes, that does indeed meet one of the three or four criteria I listed.
I don't know. I have such mixed feelings about DLC content...You explained my thoughts better than I could.
