Just when we though EA couldn’t possibly find any further ways of ripping off its customers, they come up with the idea to charge for cheat codes for Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07. I don’t know what kind of marketing genius came of with the idea, and I certainly don’t know what fool would fall for it and buy the cheat codes, it is nonetheless the final proof of EA’s business strategy.
The prices are:
Unlock golfers: 200 points ($2,50)
Own everything in the pro shop: 300 points ($3,75)
Maxed out player: 200 points ($2,50)
Sunday Tiger: 240 points ($3,00)*
Unlock courses: 200 points ($2,50)
*let’s you use the red shirt Tiger uses during last rounds
If things continue this way, next week EA will be charging you to use of the rumble feature in the Xbox360 pad, and the week after that, for only 250 MS points, they’ll let you use the “A” button. Don’t you love the next-gen gaming experience?
