Too expensive Ninja Gaiden II costume DLC now available

Then pony up and buy it for everybody.

See that is a different matter, If i did that THEN it would be expensive.

I know, it's less than a gallon of gas. Ride a bike for a day and buy some points people.

I think the issue is, "Are these costumes worth $2.50 U.S. each?", not if you can afford them or not. I spent 4k on my primary hobby, video games, last year so I can buy this DLC without any problem. The question I ask my self when I buy stuff is, "Is it worth it?", not, "Can I afford this?". Why???? Self-respect. I don't like it when others take advantage of me. I put on a condom when I have sex... I brush my teeth twice daily. Why? Self-respect. And I won't buy this overly priced DLC that adds nothing to game play. Why? Self-respect.

But if you find worth in this DLC, maybe you think Bio-Ryu is the coolest thing evar, then you have found worth in this costume and your not a tool for buying these. The rest of you guys/girls are officially tools.

I don't think anybody is saying that they can't afford it, it's all about what you get for your 200 points. Costumes are not worth $2.50.

Ugh, I have had this page open for a couple of hours, and I forgot that fact when I submitted my reply.

Hmm, to be honest, the only skin pack that looks any good is the Fiend pack, which I received free with my Pre-order from GAME.

Not that I can be bothered playing, now that my final save-game before the final bosses has no health items, and a 1/3 bar of health. No chance.

It worked out that way, in a "technically it's just uninformed PR speak" fashion. You "get 5 costumes," even if it's just 5 different color skins of the same texture.

Of course, it's technically five color variations of one costume for 200 MPs, and there are only actually 3 costumes.

By the way, his is no attempt to burn Gamerscoreblog or anything, they've run a great site for years...I'd definitely give them the benefit of the doubt here, on whether they were actually trying to misinform people.

I just don't think they were told the full details when they were trying to clarify things for everyone else.

One last point: couldn't this have been smoothed over by - gasp - offering single costumes via marketplace? 40-60 MPs for a single skin would make more sense, as it would be a small MP purchase that you could actually swallow.

XBLM is starting to seem outdated by the the limitations that restrict not only the product "selection," but our ability to judge the content. Nothing like making purchases from the same wall of text and an image that's only a banner for the name of the game.

@Mighty Healthy

I didn't think what I said was uninformed PR speak. You can dislike the price, or you can like the price, but I wasn't trying to pull the wool over anyone's eyes.
Each set has 5 costume variations...

@ CPaladino: I apologize for the wording, especially if it offended you, but it was as best a phrase that I could come up with.

I figured that someone else in the info pipeline had made what I felt was an error in judgement, and again, gave you guys the benefit of the doubt.

I respect your views on the matter...but regardless of price, I just think that there's a fundamental disparity between "five costumes" and "five color variations of the same costume."

I agree to disagree, obviously.

They're $2.50 each

Just remember that 800 points is $10 and go from there.
