So tell me clearly what Season Passes are?
Hello, I've googled it, but it still doesn't make clear sense to me. I'm after getting the Bioshock Season Pass Bundle thing which gives me the base game and its DLCs for about $17.46, right now, of course, I can't buy it, because I have $16.92 currently, but i have put a lot of emoticons and backgrounds for sale on market which a lot haven't sold yet, so I expect to have enough tomorrow.

But my question is, What is a Season Pass, and when I buy it, DO I OWN THE GAME/DLCs from this forever? Or does it expire after a year or something? I want to own it for keeps, not buy it and find out that I can't play it anymore or something.

Thanks!

A season pass is something that is offered in advance. It's a bundle deal for all upcoming DLC. For Bioshock, that DLC is already released, but the DLC bundle is still available.

To answer your question, you will own the DLC forever. The purpose of a Season Pass is just to pre-order DLC, and after the DLC is released, to sell it all in a bundle at a slight discount.

Alright I think I understand now, if I buy the Bioshock Infinite + Season Pass Bundle ROW (which is what I'm after) which includes the base Bioshock Infinite, and the season pass bundle includes Burial at Sea Episode 1 and 2 and two other extra things...I will get to keep them all forever.

Yes. When all DLCs are released the season pass acts as a DLC bundle.

Uhm, alright, well, in this case Bioshock Infinite Ep1 and Ep2 are already released, so I'll assume the other two extra things aren't. But I'll still get Bioshock Infinite and its Episodes and two extra things when those two other things release. I think I understand it now, hopefully, heh. :3

All the Bioshock Infinite content is out, there isn't going to be any more.

The "Early Bird Special" came out at the same time as the game, "Clash in the Clouds" a little later, and then the two "Burial at Sea" episodes after that. And for what it's worth, "Burial at Sea" is pretty damn good, so buying it is a good idea.

Yeh I know they're not doing any more stuff for BSI. I was just going to say that The Early Bird Special bonus pack can only be obtained by purchasing a Season Pass. Which explains why they bundled a season pass. :3 So when I buy it, I'll get everyone right off the block. :3

I'm excited actually, since this post, I now have $17.12, only 30 something cents to go and I could even buy it today.
