Downloadable content for Madden 08

I did see this in gameinformer and it talked about having to even buy air for the ball. WTF? Hopefully the article was just sarcasm or something. Someone mentioned this in an earlier thread but it was closed. Any reason for that? He just stated word for word what the article said.

Well the game will be 60.00, that will include the EA logo, that's it. Each player will then be able to be purchased from the market place for 100 microsoft points, if said player wears a visor, gloves or any other accessory including shoes, then the player will cost 200 microsoft points. Stadiums, team uniforms (yes the players you get are naked), and every other part of the game will also be available for download, for a varied amount of microsoft points. EA if it's in the game it's on the market place.

Heres the article:

Downloadable content is on the rise, and after successful implementation in the series like Tiger Woods and Need for Speed, EA is counting on Madden 08 to push the boundaries of what gamers will tolerate. The new football title will have players spending real money to obtain a variety of in-game items; helmets, mascots and air for the ball must all be unlocked via credit card purchase.

Electronic Arts claims all these items will be totally optional. “We’re not forcing anyone to buy anything,” asserts a representative for EA Sports. “Players who elect to not purchase air for the ball still have a shot at the Super Bowl. They may just have to focus more on their running game.” This means that a significant financial investment will lead to a much better team, just like in real football…unless you’re the Redskins, of course.

If trends like these continue, video games will evolve into nothing more than interactive catalogues – mere conduits for digital transactions. When faced with this issue, the EA rep’s eyes lit up. “I’m gonna be so rich,”
