This whole price markup is ridiculous. For Americans it costs 5.99 DOLLARS and for Europeans it costs 5.99 EUROS. While at the moment $5.99 = €4.30. That's what i call ripping people off

Over priced €5.99 (£4.79) imo. Won't be buying.

Look you can't just convert dollars to pounds/euros and then say it's unfair. I mean, look at how different the conversion rates are now to what they were a couple of months ago! But the price of other stuff hasn't changed. They charge what they charge and you pay for it or not.

It's kind of unfortunate because they effectively have a monopoly on DLC prices so they are kept reasonably high. I do believe that they charge far too much for LBP costumes especially. I mean they charged HOW much for a MM T-shirt? I could pick up an ACTUAL T-shirt for less than what they charged for an in-game one.

If they always reflected the conversion rates then right about now you'd have a load of British people complaining because the pound just dropped in value. Also bear in mind that our price includes VAT (now 15% - actually where's our price drop for the drop in VAT?) so it's not that unfair really. LBP stuff always seems overpriced though.

... but I would have preferred a package all in one, for 5-6 euro. SO costumes AND levels for 5-6 euro. Paying over 10 euro for this seems a bit steep, when they might do it again and again and again in the future.

I just ordered a complete, NEW (sealed) game for 14 euro including postage (Midnight Club LA), so it's kinda hard to shell out over 10 euro for something like this, no matter how extremely cool it looks and how badly I wanna play it.

If the whole thing would just total up to 5-6 euro, it would be OK. Now, I think I'll pass and wait and hope for them to release a LBP-Deluxe edition somewhere in the future, which might have all the DLC included.

Such a shame, cause it looks really REALLY cool :( And I still play LBP a few times a week.

edit: And I do agree about the ridiculous overpricing of us Europeans for everything. It's a real shame. SCEE has been absolutely horrible for gamers, overpricing us for everything, plus at the same time keeping a lot from us (special editions, certain games, online content, etc)
Sony really needs to fix their European devision. It angers me, and it just makes me boycot Sony's products, like TVs and stuff, in favour of some other brands (Samsung and Panasonic)

So when I can FINALLY buy some PSN Cards (I live in Canada) I'll be happy. For now, this is just something else I won't be able to get.

i mean, SOMEBODY over at Media Molecule had to create this content.

that somebody deserves to be paid for their hard work.

and Sony is licensing the MGS characters/story themes for use in Little Big Planet. i'm sure that cost them a pretty penny.

i guess i view it this way, roughly $10 is the cost of a PSN game these days. i see this MGS Level Pack in the same way i see a PSN title, only i get to actually use the content offered to me for $10 in my OWN levels.

fair enough, i guess.

LBP is a great game. as is MGS4. i think they are hands down the two best games i've played all year, and now they've combined together.

in the end, it's a win/win for me, Sony, and Konami, actually.
