2K Sports released the 2K Reelmaker add-on for NHL 2K8 yesterday at 400 MS Points ($5 USD); the program allows a variety of video recording and playback options for the game. According to 1UP, the download for this feature is a puny 108K, which means consumers are paying to unlock a feature that is already on the game's disc.

Hasn't 2K Sports done this for all of their games?

Seems to be I've heard this gripe before regarding them.

Let's see...

• All Pro Football 2K8 (400 points)
  
• College Hoops 2K7 (400 points)
  
• NBA 2K7 (400 points)
  
• (obviously NBA 2K8)
  
• NHL 2K8 (400 points)

Sounds like a crappy unfair policy to me.
