Don't get me wrong, I am VERY GLAD that you guys are offering this extra content, even though it's been over a year that the game has been out.  But I've purchased all of the items that are currently available, and it cost me over 30 dollars!  And so far, there are only 2 character's full costume sets on the marketplace!  All of these "extra costumes" (which are mostly color swaps and the ability to put original costumes from one character onto another), when fully listed on XBL, is going to cost 150-200 dollars!  What do you call this kind of new-fangled extortion?

Listen, I'm a big fan, but I don't appreciate spending so much money on simple color swaps and switching existing costumes around.  You aren't even offering bulk package discounts (like Project Gotham Racing, where you can either purchase cars individually, or buy them all for a discount).  Something needs to be done about this.  

Like I said, I'm one of your biggest fans, but I really don't appreciate being screwed by one of my favorite companies.  I hope that something can be done about this, and in the end, everybody gets what they want.

I agree 100%

well, then why did you buy it?

 

I refused to download any of this crap.

I bought it because I'm a fan of the series and I really think it's in danger of extinction.  Also, I bought the stuff because I really didn't know what all the costumes looked like.  At the DL screen, it only tells you that it's a "costume".  There were no pictures.  So my impulse was that they were new costumes.  Unfortunately they weren't.  I won't be buying them again, that's for sure.  Of course unless the price is right.  And it doesn't seem like they will be...

MAN YOU AND I ARE ON THE SAME PAGE

Hey, Genius, it told you whose costume it was on the screen.

You should have known that before you bought it!

Shredman -

We are friends but let me explain something to you.

1. U started the petition remember so u complaining about it now is like telling everyone that they should not have bothered so its sort of on your head ain't it.

2. U bought the stuff cos your a fan but that does not mean buying it goes to making RR XXX does it.

3. Whoever else bought the clothes so what don't give you any special powers does it? My Dixie still busts everyone up online Street or Tag.

you spent over 30 dollars on downlable content? that was smart.

why so serious?

I bought a few costumes becuase I wanted to see how other characters looked in them, but I won't spend all that money to get them all. I can see if they sold them in a pack but 80 credits per costume is stupid.

I don't see what the problem is.  Look at how many $60 games people buy that they don't even like.  I think half that is worth the 100 or so outfits on the marketplace for a game they actually do like.  The game is like $12 brand new at Wal-Mart, so why complain?  If you buy every outfit on the marketplace, you are still spending less money than any other full priced 360 game.

If people never demand quality, quality will never present itself.

I couldn't agree more!!!

Besides, I'd rather spend my points on extra outfits than stupid gamertiles and themes.  People will buy hundreds of themes and gamertiles, but "OMG, 80 points for an outfit!!  That's highway robbery!!!"  That's sarcasm by the way.

Just wait till companies start hitting you with eposodic gameplay. your really gonna love that

Boardgames are fun to play as well! Give 'em a try.

Go BGG!!!

i agree very much, i think all the DLC costs about $70 altogether, i love this game and i love the kind of dlc being offerred but that is WAYYYYYYYYY too much.

Ironically, it's much more easier in many many ways to spend 200 dollars (actually I made some calculations and it's much much more than that) on DLC for the achievements on this game that actually trying to unlocking them with your own effort.

Yeah, I bought a couple just because I wanted to see what the other characters looked like.  Though, I do wish the rest of the costumes were available, I wont go buying them all up but it's not that bad since you can choose what ones you want.
