Jack looks like an idiot. Thane would be cool but the glasses...not so much. Garrus will be even more badass. The price does seem kinda lame though.

I'm not buying it. Thane kind of looks like Horatio Cain, Jack looks just plain stupid to me, and Garrus, well, noone can say anything bad about Garrus. And I'm not hating Thane. he justs looks like Horatio. Which is awesome.

Those... looks awful. Yeah, no thanks. Get rid of the eye wear and I might, but at the moment... no.

I've heard a lot of people calling this "Horse Armor's Return", and I guess I see their point. The costumes are very uninspired and even then, it's only for 3 characters.

If I was in charge of EA, I'd have people make outfits like these either free as a show of good will to the consumers, or I'd make outfits for the entire cast (DL characters included) and bundle them into a package deal. $2.50 - $3.00 for 12 uninspired outfits. As boring as they might be, the idea of an entire cast wardrobe would bring consumers to the watering-hole alone.

-You guys/gals know not to buy this unless you're an EXTREME Mass Effect whore, right? If a lot of people do purchase it (which I doubt they will, but you never know), then EA will keep doing shit like this. A platinum Garrus outfit! A skin colored Miranda outfit! A white and blue colored outfit to make Legion barely resemble a Gundam! Back in the day, this stuff was unlocked through beating the game on certain difficulties. Now, after so long and thanks to project 10 dollar, we know how good it feels to obtain meaningless fluff content for free again. If we don't encourage EA to pull these kinds of stunts, and if they aren't as thickheaded as many believe them to be, they'll make meaningful content worthy of our hard-earned cash.

Characters (though I won't buy them on principle) are worthy of money.
That rumored Romance pack is worthy of money...so long as there's added voice work.
Lazy outfit sets made for three characters at a time? To quote Grunt: "HA!"

I think you mean finally Jack gets some clothes and isn't forced to walk around wearing a belt as a top :-O
And is hilariously impractical, to say the least.
Well, quite! How she hasn't been mortally wounded is a miracle!

Too right. But then they went and duct taped her eyes shut. What did they do that for?

I won't pay for outfits. And the uh... shades are a bit to CSI Miami for me.

I don't see anything wrong with it though. Some people like this stuff.
If she starts making wise cracks over dead Krogan, well................ ;-)

Well, her loyalty mission gave her a tank top, don't forget.

OT: I might buy it, since it is pretty inexpensive. But I'll reserve my judgment for now.
I think the words tank top are a generous description! lol
I will probably buy them tbh!

I... Really like Jack's new costume. It's got more of a "biker" vibe to it. Really would have fitted with my Renegade dude.
Apart from the block of metal for glasses, it's cool.
I dunno, I think the block of metal's quite "space age".

I kinda expect her to beat up Marty McFly.

Well said, well said.

And whats even funnier, I'm sure a modder with a few hours to kill would be able to release this kind of stuff easily.

You know what, if that were part of the download, I would buy it. In fact, I'd buy it twice.

Get it Now! Mass Effect 2 DLC enhanced with Horatio Caine inspired dialog!

Man, that would be epic.

To be honest, I'll probably buy this if only to get Jack some goddammed clothes.

Seriously, the only reason I never used her was because she stuck out like a sore thumb next to the fully-armoured Shepard and Garrus, even with that skin-tight shirt thing.

At least now I'll be able to pretend that she has like, protective armour plates in her vest or... Something to that effect.

She could do without the masking tape over her eyes.

As I said above, it's quite retro-futuristic. It's the kind of thing I could see someone from the year 2000 wearing in a 60's TV show.

I don't see anything wrong with this. If someone really wants to get few extra costumes then fine, it's only like couple euros anyway.

Much better to ask money for something pointless like this and then release the bigger content for free (free for people who bought it new at least).

And for all the CSI comments:

Garrus gets fixed armour? Jack gets clothes? I wouldn't be able to use them even if I bought them because of my fucking university firewall?

Ah well, it was going well until the last part.

I like 'em, will probably pay for them too, eventually.
Have you tried going through someone else's router?

Because when I was at my college, I couldn't get patches from GFWL normally (through both wired AND wireless connections): however, when I went through some random dude's (unprotected, what a fool) wireless router, it worked.

I glad that they finally fixed Garrus' armor and face.
I thought that "facial scar remover" would cover that, and Garrus would be all "hey, thanks, you can skip my loyalty mission". Or something. I guess Shepard took Garrus' "people were always hitting on me and ignoring you" comment personally, and decided not to tell him.
