Soul Calibur 4 is being acclaimed a critical success at the moment, its reviews giving it 9's and 10's all over the globe. But Namco are about to make the same mistake they made with Ace Combat 6 and Beautiful Katamari, quite frankly, crappy Downloadable content.

Just around a week from its release and already 3 items are up in the marketplace and PSN Store, some lousy extra gear and some downloadable music from the original game. Not only does such a quick release indicate these could have easily been included in the game, but they are all at huge prices considering their content. A set of new tracks for $15? Or a dollar each if you want to buy them individually? And this is almost certainly just the start, you had to go ruin a perfectly good game didn't you Namco?

Customization equipment #1 (armours, headgears) - 100 Microsoft Points (1.45$)
Downloadable Music complete set - 1200 Microsoft Points (15$)
Downloadable music tracks (1 - 17) - 80 Microsoft Points each (.99$)

Yes...downloadable tracks from the original Soul Calibur to listen while you fight. Hey Namco, I have a request for you: why don’t you spend some time fixing the multiplayer lagging instead of selling bandanas and capes?
