I should have clarified statement 2.... I don't mean to say that the prequel characters are any different than any other character in game.

I mean all of the characters from the prequels in the movies suck as badly as the prequel movies did. Cheers.

Technically, the prequel characters aren't included free in any of the other versions. Not only did you have to buy the prequel game, but you also had to play through it enough to unlock all of the characters you want available in the OT game. Didn't unlock Jango Fett? Well, you wouldn't be able to port him over into this game.

"2) The prequel characters blow super monkey balls - so actually they shouldn't have been included, nor should they be for sale."

I checked it out (yes, I dropped the 250,000 studs to unlock the Use Old Save feature), and they play like the new game's characters. The Wookiee Warrior will rip Stormies' arms out, Jango will chuck thermal detonators...it's all in there. And most importantly, this will allow you to have access to Sith characters before you unlock Darth Vader in the new game, which could take a while. Then again, I sorta cheated on that issue. As soon as I got access to a red lightsaber in the character generator, I crafted a Sith character from scratch, just to have the dark-force powers so I don't have to do a third runthrough just to catch the missing Minikit pieces and Power Bricks, or wait to do Free Play at all until I've unlocked Vader.

From what I've read about them they're a much better rental service than GameFly because they have 4 distribution centers. One on each coast, one in the midwest and one in the mid-south so they get games out much much faster as opposed to GameFly's sole west coast facility.

I keep meaning to subscribe but I'm too impatient and just end up buying everything.

How is Gamerang?

This will be the first piece of content I've purchased from Xbox Live since I got the system last November. (Not counting Live Arcade games).

NVM, I get what you were saying ... silly me!

EnigmaNemesis

Its ok, you paid them $20 instead of $2.50 for the purpose you had. :-p

EnigmaNemesis

But after seeing this price, this is how content should be priced for "micropayments"... you listening Bethesda?, Sega?, and every other one out there?

Lucas Arts is definately returning to it's roots. Indy game coming, new Sam and Max, hopefully another Monkey Island... and some very promising Star Wars next-gen tech.

On top of that, you may even have to pay with in-game "studs" just to unlock the ability to use these characters. I know the PS2 version rolls like that.

Do they expect that many people to pay for the extra characters?

In all seriousness, $3.00 is an insignificant amount of money but there are two things to consider here:

1) Being charged for shit that should have been included from the start.

2) The prequel characters blow super monkey balls - so actually they shouldn't have been included, nor should they be for sale.

I hate when I defeat my own points.

thanks, lucasarts!

If I played the original game on my X360 i should get the characters for free like every other version of LSW2.

Also - no frickin' Gamerpictures with LSW2? booo.
