Free LOTR: Conquest DLC, not so free Skate 2 content

There's new downloadable content available on the Xbox Live Marketplace, specifically for Lord of the Rings: Conquest and Skate 2. The LOTR Hero Arena Bonus content is 100% free and gives players a new way to play team deathmatch. If you can spare 135MB of hard drive space, by all means, enjoy.
For those looking to become the Steven Spielberg of Skate 2 film making, there's new 600
Filmer Pack content that adds "advanced camera controls for the replay editor, custom watermarks, expanded online storage" and new apparel to boot. We'll leave that purchasing decision up to you, but for the sake of comparison, Bungie offers a similar expanded Halo 3 storage solution with Bungie Pro. Hey, just saying.Source - Skate 2 Filmer Pack

WTF Black Box? Have you learn nothing from Criterion? This sort of stuff should be free!

Didn't EA shutdown black box right after the game shipped? Anyways, I think they have a right to charge for extra online storage but the "extra" filming option seems kinda fishy. Like it should have remained in the game like in skate 1 fishy.
They included a lot of clothing options in the game already so if somebody wants to pay for more who am I to tell them how to spend their money.

Not only should the Skate content be free, but it should have been in the game to begin with. Compared to the Skate 1 editor, the Skate 2 editor is weak. They ditched pre-positioned cameras for a "tripod" or "follow" camera and then removed all the color options and speed options and made the interface a horrible mess.
I love both Skate games, but I'm sorry, the video editor took a huge step backward and now they want us to pay to bring it back up to where it was. Very sad.

I don't think "very sad" means what you think it means.

You can change the speed of the video in Skate 2 without the DLC. But i think 600 points is too much.

Wow, thats a bit of a rip off. Especially considering this could all be included with the game, for no extra cost (Except maybe the added storage, I understand server costs etc...but still).

skate 2 filmer pack is only really for people who actually skate if you ask me, I skate and I bought it straight away and really like it. Yeah it should have been in the game cause it was only just released but the extra online space is nice!

I will gladly pay 600 points for a GTA IV filmer pack.
So many awesome things happen when no one is looking (you know like that sheriff with the hat from "The Simpsons")
