Hah, how refreshingly frank. I think that's the way to go about it. Don't stop the lazy impatient consumer if they want to give you their money, and don't fuck around about it. Commendable behaviour.

I think this is a perfectly good solution. It's not the first time everyone has had to pay for cheat codes. Am I the only one that remembers pre-GAMEFAQs when there were premium rate phonelines providing cheats? It's just a return to the old ways.

Personally this is not on my list of DLC to purchase, but people who don't have the time to invest in unlocking the ingame content probably have jobs that are well paid enough that they can splash the cash for the content. It's a sweeping generalisation I know, but I stand by it.

That thing about paying for effects in the video editor is crazy. DLC is getting out of hand.

As long as I am not forced to pay unlocking contents that are already on my fucking disc, its all gravy.

@PsycheE: Exactly my feelings on this. I'm going nowhere near it because I actually like finishing games on my own. But to each his own, some people might never unlock stuff on their own without this.

@evbartoszak: indeed.

i love the unlocking through playing, u get that sense of accomplishment from pimping out your skater with all the new duds and gear after laboring through skate comps. plus im a nook and cranny type of guy, i did veery challenge in teh first skate, u bes believe i will be raping skate 2 :P

no way im gonna pay for something that is free in the game. as it is we gotta pay for dlc thats not even in the game. to which for EA gets the middle finger. Only BO Paradise has gotten it right.

On another note I really hope EA didnt RL this game again. Since I HATE having to buy the asian version which usually has Chinese all over the fucking cover due to some law China put in effect in regards to the "Asian" versions.

@vx2: Yeah some are RF just that Skate wasnt one of them I do believe which is why I was stuck with the ugly ass Asian version due to some shitbird thinking it was a good idea to RL the title.

Ya the Rock Band RL situation was quite a big pissoff for myself which is why I had to get it for the PS3. Was not too amused with that.

@Witzbold: so is teh RL issue for skate with the PS3 or 360? my guess is the latter.
