Beautiful Katamari Download Content a Rip-off

Don’t go running to your Xbox 360 to grab the new Beautiful Katamari content; unless you live in Asia, you don’t have access to this stuff. There are four new levels available for the game, each running you 200 Microsoft Points. I’ve got no problem with that, but it’s more the fact that, according to Destructoid, the downloads are only 384 kb, i.e. the content is already on the disc, and you’re purchasing a key to unlock it.

Just a warning I guess. When I read this I didn't even know Katamari was out yet.

Personally, for that kind of download I think it's a bit pricey. But I don't find it that big of a deal, considering how downloadable content is done anyway.

Hurray for having to pay extra to get the whole game? I guess as long as it's not AO rated content hidden on the disc no one cares.

This is what I was hoping companies wouldn't do with microtransactions, though I guess they could have just left it off the disc and it would still be the same. Gotta love paying more for less. Well maybe not that far, but it's still not cool.

Paying more for less is bull****.

Seriously.

I figured stuff like this would happen.
