"as customer you have the power to ignore those premium DLC's. Nobody is forcing you to buy them"
I'm not buying though, and I suggers we all give them that same message.

...but...it should be free.
It's not even like the game is loaded with content, and this is a little something extra.
It was rushed and has the shoddy framerate and poor camera problems to prove it and there's barely anything in the way of additional unlockables. Three additional costumes and the Mission Mode SHOULD have been included from the get go for free.

Its 200p for 5 costumes. Big deal, its no worse than spending 150p on a gamerpic you only gone use for like 3 days. $2.50 basically for 5 costumes is all that it is basically. You have a choice and thats not really going to kill you of course, i hope not.

Damn MICRO$OFT!!!
My point is I think it's more up to the developer than just MS.
Edit: Also, we're talking about a company (Tecmo) that released the same game 3 times before a sequel. NG, NG: Black, and NG: Sigma are more or less the same with an extra here or there.

I can't believe anyone would defend this pricing strategy. It makes me wonder if you really know the value of a dollar. Yes people have a choice, but that's beside the point. For $60 we should have gotten a more polished, more FINISHED product.
If this DLC released a year from now and had substantial content (ie, Hurricane Pack from NG1) I'd understand, but $3 outfits less than a month after release? F'd in the A. And no it's not Tecmo, it's MS. They funded the entire thing this time. Notice the lack of a Tecmo logo anywhere.

No it doesn't have 5 costumes, only different color versions of the base costume or that is what I was told.
I can't believe some are defending this. The games are already expensive and now we should pay even more? I am complaining because I should get these content from the retail copy without any extra.
Only DLC I am willing to pay is some major additions to game. Like expansions on PC games. Not some stuff that comes couple weeks after the game has released. Give me new bosses, new areas, weapons, enemies, costumes and stuff like that in one expansion like package.

I was going to defend this, because the costume designs all look pretty neat. But after seeing those ingame screenshots, they are pretty awful. The last one is the only one I'd consider spending money on, and I'd have to be pretty drunk at the time.
If the other costumes in the pack, weren't just recolours, it may have been a better deal.

I have to admit, I was weak and bought the Fiend pack, because the color scheme of the second variant reminds me of Skeletor. MotU FTW!

Actually only the first line of costumes are on the disk. Other costume packs are 11MB each. And this is too much for just an "unlock key", if you ask me (especially for a costume lol).
One thing, the hurricane packs weren't free in the past. You had to pay for every content for every game BUT after a certain time, all the content became free. It was some kind of "rule" during old Xbox Live times.
This rule is gone now, since the Xbox 360.
Just another thing. Mission Mode for NG2 will come this month (price not known yet).

It's really pathetic and will only get worse as people buy this nonsense.
It's ironic really, the only people that probably buy this crap are the rabid fanboys, so Itagaki is basicly ripping off his biggest supporters. And as the poor sods keep buying this crap, the games get less and less content and the DLC scam get's bigger and bigger.
We'll all suffer from this in the end...thanks to the rabid fanboys.

I can't help but think of all the great stuff we got in NG1 for free.
