I would probably buy that and the Knell if the game did not cause my Wii's GPU to melt. The king’s outfit is hot.

It's not even the price so much as, what's the point? Unlocking extra costumes was always one of my favorite things to do in games. Buying them takes that away. It's like when EA charges to unlock cars in Need for Speed that you can earn within the game anyway, only here you have no option to earn them in the game. Besides, the way I see it, purchasing this stuff just encourages them to keep moving in this "everything for a buck" direction. I won't support any game that costs more than a retail title with all its assorted DLC but still doesn't have as much content as you'd expect out of a retail title. This method of selling a game is underhanded and it takes a lot of the fun away. When I buy a game I want it to have all sorts of hidden extras and stuff. Now that publishers want to commoditize everything, unlockables have gone the way of the dodo because they aren't going to give anything away for free that some schmuck might be willing to pay $1 for. So even if only 10% of people who buy the game are willing to pay for the stuff, it's worth it for them to shaft the other 90% who know better.
