Gotham City Impostors, Warner/Monolith's online-only Batman-themed FPS, goes live on XBLA and PSN tomorrow. The game'll set you back $15 or 1200 MSP, whereas some 105 pieces of optional DLC flair carry a total price-point of $220. Just how many clothing options your crimefighting career demands is dependent on how much of an outlay you want to make on the title.

Big-money high-rollers can outfit their counterfeit Batman and/or knockoff Joker with all manner of wardrobe accoutrements, ranging from cycle shirts to cargo pants to in-game mascot characters. Eurogamer reports that the title's European Games for Windows version also includes XP-boosting items for teams and single players alike. The game's pick-and-choose DLC strategy ought to work well with the piecemeal nature of its protagonists' arsenals: check out our preview to get an idea how the game plays, and plan your fashion strategy accordingly...

NBA Jam: On Fire Edition had the "Time is Money" DLC with a similar function. Provided these items are actually available without too much grinding, it's hard to fight the future. That said, why not just go free-to-play and score off the stupid kids with their parents' credit cards? (i.e. iOS style)

You can get all of this in the game with in-game money. They just have the option for people who want it instantly.

Stuff like this used to be in-game unlockables. industry-weary sigh. Still, though. At least it's only cosmetic crap.

Yay Day 1 DLC! The most atrocious form of paid DLC out there as far as I'm concerned. Oh well, back to Skyrim I guess. Bethesda didn't bother to charge me for the high res DLC, it frightens me to think what these guys would've charged me for it.

Took me back a bit when i first saw that EVERY unlockable (save for card customizations, gangs maybe?) can be fast-tracked by just buying with real money, but it's worth noting all these things can be bought with in-game money and tokens you earn over time. Judging by my experience with the beta though, that could take a bit.
