    Those greedy bastards. Its just like skate 3. I went to watch some clips in the skate.reel and it asked for a key code that came with the game. I am guessing this code is one time use, once per copy.

    In a very related topic, the filmer pack just came out for skate 3. It costs a whopping 6 bucks for a few extra filming tools. They pulled the same crap with skate 2. Redlynx nearly doubled the content of their game for less money than that. Seems to me something like this should be included in the game. They had the hindsight to include it.

    They made a bunch of achievements that are "secret". Clever eh? No explanation of hint on how to get it. Funny how they also released a bunch of downloadable videos on how to get these achievements. A dollar a piece for these how to videos.

    They also released a "time is money" download. Basically you pay 5 bucks to have everything unlocked. LAME.

    Was my 60 bucks not enough for you EA? From now on EA gets no money from me. I dont care if I have to endure a tony hawk game to get my next skating game fix.


    END OF RANT... Sorry about that.

    Well I really enjoyed playing Tiger Woods 10 and I got it free when I bought my xbox, however, I won't be buying Tiger Woods 11 due to this policy.

    On a similar note I also won't be buying Forza 4 when it's released unless they allow you to backup your saved game, or it's automatically backed up. As I have no fancy of spending a lot of hours on the game only to have the saved game corrupted and have to start from scratch.
