horse armor

The first downloadable content available for the Xbox 360 game Oblivion. Upon its release, there was an uproar in the gaming community due to its nearly useless feature set and and relatively high price tag ($2.50 US). Since then, the term horse armor has been used to describe video game features that are useless or overpriced.
Can you believe they're charging $10 extra for the horse armor in Madden 07: Hall of Fame Edition?

It seems like every year video game developers expect us pay $50 for a sequel and all they've added is some horse armor.

up-armor

1. Verb: To upgrade, strengthen, install, or add to existing protection against weapons (usually metal plates) on the human body, military vehicle or aircraft or ships, or to fortifications.

2. Noun: The upgraded armor installed on people, vehicles, or locations.

Originating in American military parlance, especially during the Iraq War, and shortened from "upgrading armor."
1. Soldiers were digging through local landfills for pieces of scrap metal and compromised ballistic glass to up-armor their vehicles.

2. In response to the vulnerability of HMMWVs (Humvees) operating in Iraq, Up-Armor Kits were designed and installed on M998 HMMWVs. But no matter how much up-armor the sluggish humvees packed on, the best hope to putting an end to the violence was to prevent it from happening in the first place.

In Shining Armor

The most useless perk in Fallout New Vegas, added by the Dead Money DLC. Available at Level 2, for some reason, and requires 20 Repair, and 70 Science skill points. All because of one programming error, it has become the most infamous perk ever to exist since Here and Now. Even if you use unofficial bug fixes, it's still useless.
Person1: Oh boy! I levelled up! Should i take In Shining Armor? It sounds cool, since i wear Metal Armor!
