    Sure, it may not be what everyone wants. But at least it isnt £4-5 per pack like Capcom enjoys charging for their alt costume packs (More or less £1 for costume in street fighter and mvc3)

    I hate it when they announce s**t like this BEFORE THE f**king GAME IS RELEASED.
    Why isn't this going to be on the disc? This stuff isn't worth paying for. Its not like its even new characters or even complete outfits or anything. Its virtual dress-up and old game music :evil:

    Thank you Namco.

    Last year I bought Sophita some roses and a box of chocolates for Valentines day, but this DLC has means I don't have to deal with interflora and thorntons.

    Yeah, any dlc that is announced BEFORE THE GAME IS RELEASED should be on disc.

    I guess you horny teens can get your bikins though! That's all good.

    Hooray. Paying money for a 100kb file that unlocks stuff already on the disc FTMFW.

    At the very least it's fairly cheap for what you're getting. Compare it to Capcom's UMvsC3 DLC, where 4 costumes are something like 340 ms points, almost double for half the content.

    It's still hideously greedy though.

    What rubbish i realy dont want to spend money on a few crap bikinis and a bit of armour that should be unlockable any way like it use to be in games before dlc new characters or old ones would have been better.
