Available for purchase until Jan. 17, 2010.

Can't be bothered to write everything else down.

Each costume costs $6.99 (€5.99/£3.99) singly, but for a limited time (until January 17, 2010) we're offering both costumes for $9.99 (€8.99/£5.99).

It's £0.00 listed then if you go to checkout it lists a £5.99 subtotal so that's how much it is for £'s.

Interesting.

I'd like to also note the two new slots being added. Which means we can finally wear our festival hats without losing our helm stats.

How absolutely stupid. -_-

Ten bucks for a costume in a dying game? I think not. Nice try, Anet.

Bah, what a waste. What's Anet thinking?

Employee 1: Hey, lets do a skill update this month!
Employee 2: Nah, lets waste our effort into making this costume!
Employee 1: Ok! They won't be pissed what's so ever over no skill update!

I mean, c'mon Anet. I know you put work into this, thanks. But this is something not needed in a game that is on it's last legs.

When you equip the costume slots with items like the Grenth or Dwayna costumes, or festival hats, you change your appearance without affecting your armor stats.

So who's going to be the first to buy the costumes and then be instantly hacked?

Female Dwayna outfit looks pretty awesome though.

EDIT: I lol'd at the Frequently Asked Questions section for the brand new addition to the game.

Look right below the hats slot.

See the costume slot? Yes, here's something that will pop up every time you open your inventory, you can even toggle it on or off, but you can't put anything there unless you pay us ten dollars for something that is worth, in terms of content, a few cents.

What are these "legacy" festival hats?

EDIT: Nevermind; they're old versions of hats.

Very nice!

Eager to see if costumes will become a new feature of festivities, promotions, quests, boss drops etc.

Now that I can actually wear festival hats 'for real', I'll have to go back and look through my range - certainly ups the ante for Wintersday.

ArenaNet makes a couple new skins and a UI adjustment and charges ten dollars for it.

Valve is rolling out updates for both the Demoman and Soldier, is doing it absolutely free, and also having a weekend in which anyone can play TF2 for free, probably with a discount for the game itself during that weekend.

Guess which company is doing better?

Hint: it's not ArenaNet.

When can people start buying gold trim capes? As soon as they do, someone give me a heads up.

Why isn't this available as a reward for a new quest (or two)? I'd rather have that than paying $10 for the costumes. Nice idea (one that some people have been asking for since GW released), but no thank you on having to pay for it.

hilarious joke update. the only good part was that festival hats can now be worn like masks and have stats, but they should have introduced that a long time ago. also, since I only started in 2009, I only have 3 to choose from.

And only one of those companies sees almost 100% of the profit from their game.

Meh, I doubt I'll buy the costumes since I already spent hundreds of plat to get armor sets I like. The costume/mask idea is cool though- it opens a lot of potential for future quests and events.

Anyone get a mini polar bear yet?
