This was just posted by a mod on the Official Australian & New Zealand Playstation forums (http://community.eu.playstation.com/playstationeu/board/message?board.id=PS3_ANZ_LBP&thread.id=1311)

I thought it may be important to some of you as I'm not sure I have seen the MotorStorm Costume in any of the other week one content releases but please correct me if I am mistaken.

Okay let's do a little comparison using today's exchange rates taken from Xe.com, 1 USD = 1.45238 AUD

SackBoy Costumes: US Store - $0.99 USD = $1.43 AUD at today's rate
AU Store - $1.75 AUD = 0.72 more expensive than US store

Premium SackBoy Costumes: US Store - $1.99 USD = $2.89 AUD at today's rate
AU Store - $3.45 AUD = 0.56 more expensive than US store

No pricing I could find for US store rare items so one can only speculate how much more we will be paying than the US store.

Why aren't the prices the same (taking into account exchange rates based on the US dollar) why do we pay more for DLC that other regions? While the amount individually seems small take into account the number of people in AU & NZ buying this content and it is a nice little extra earner.

I won't buy any costumes, they don't really add to the gameplay or anything, but I'll download the free ones, just because they are free. And I can't wait for the REAL DLC like new tools/levels/materials etc.2008-11-05 16:23:00

I'm confused; the shirt is a "rare" item but is not available for a limited time. What am I missing here?

Many apologies if I've overlooked the most basic thing here...

I think it means that you will be able to wear it whenever you want. The other costumes dissapear out of your Popit after the time is up, unfortunately... that's a guess.2008-11-06 17:45:00

No idea, BTW though you can buy and install the items from the AU store if you use a US disc they don't show up.

Really?! Very interesting...

I hadn't thought of that, but I guess it's possible, right? I'd be sad if I couldn't have a Pumpkin-headed Sackboy on through Christmas though.

From what it sounds like the costume parts maybe only wearable for a week, but it sounds like its seasonal appearance.
So..
you buy the item, it disappears, but reappears each year.

The costumes are great(except the rare shirt) I bought them, but if I only get to wear it for 1 week a year, Im complaining =(
