Mortal Kombat 'Klassic Skins' DLC due June 7
by Steve Watts, May 27, 2011 9:00am PDTMortal Kombat is getting its first downloadable content pack on June 7, Warner Bros and NetherRealm Studios announced today.
The Klassic Skins pack gathers up the retailer-exclusive pre-order bonuses into one package, including the old-school costumes for Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Reptile, Ermac, Mileena, Jade, and Kitana, plus classic (with a K) fatalities for Reptile, Scorpion, and Sub-Zero. It will cost $4.99 on the PlayStation Network, or 400 MSP on Xbox Live Marketplace.
The last time we heard about DLC for the game was just over a week ago, when series creator Ed Boon teased that the first pack was coming "within the next few weeks." It sounded at the time like the DLC character Skarlet would be included in the first pack as well, but Boon tweeted yesterday that we'll see a separate trailer for her on Monday. We've asked Warner Bros Interactive for clarification, but haven't heard back yet.

Everyone who bought MK9 paid the $60 or whatever but they're not getting everything on the disc, nor do they have any idea that there's anything more on the disc, nor could they just pay more and get it all to begin with.
To me it's not the fact that there's locked content on the disc so much as the fact that they're trying to alleviate the need to "download" the content, so as to not miss out on those without good Internet access. No, I'm sorry, I'm fine with DLC as a concept but it has to be downloaded. You don't get to cheat. You don't get to keep telling me I had the content all along and all I had to do was tap my ruby slippers together or some shit.
But anyway I'm not trying to be all "birther" about this, I'm just saying that to some of us the distinction is subtle but significant.
