Just like the last game, skins with slight property value changes for $5. $15 if you want them all. If you bought the CE, and buy all of these, that's $95.

Not only are these stupidly overpriced, why couldn't they have been included in the game? They should be unlockables. Recall the days when cheats and alternate costumes were unclockable in game rewards and replay value extenders as opposed to $5 ripoffs?

As they said in All in the Family....."those were the dayyyyyyyys!"
