Old School 'SSX' Characters and Track DLC Coming May 1st

The track brings back the classic 'SSX' look and a few music tracks from the old games as well.
The new 'SSX' game has been met with a lot of love from critics and fans alike, but the new style leaves some fans cold. Two pieces of DLC will be hitting on May 1st that bring the old games back for a bit.
If the characters are what you're missing, you can pick up the $5.99 Classic Characters Bundle Pack and get seven characters from the past complete with alternate outfits and unique snowboards.
The track, Mt. Eddie, also runs $5.99 and includes nine massive drops, retro music and the sort of flash and sizzle that fans of the older games will appreciate.
You can also pick up both packs at once for $7.99, which seems like the obvious choice.

'SSX' Will Use Online Pass to Unlock Content
Tue Jan 31, 2012 at 11:30 AM ETTags: Online Pass, SSX, EA (all tags)
EA really wants you buying a new copy of the hotly anticipated snowboarding game.
Companies are trying a lot of things to encourage users to buy new games instead of opting for cheaper used games. The latest is the Online Pass. Games with Online Pass require that you enter a code when you first boot the game. If you don't have that code, you miss out on content.
It's been revealed that the upcoming snowboarding game 'SSX' will use Online Pass to control used sales. There's no word yet on what you'll miss out on if you pick up a used copy but we're guessing multiplayer.
If you do happen to pick up a used copy of the game and you want to get that online pass, it will be available for purchase for $10 on PSN or Xbox Live.

'SSX' Pushed Back Two Weeks to February 28th
Thu Dec 22, 2011 at 11:30 AM ETTags: SSX, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Delays (all tags)
The development team says 'SSX' just needs that last little bit of polish.
Game delays are never fun for fans, especially when it comes to a game like 'SSX.' It's a new take on a classic franchise and this additional two weeks is the second time the game was delayed. What separates this delay is that the game's developers are being up front about what's going on.
In a letter to fans, creative director Todd Batty tells fans that these last few weeks are going to be well worth waiting through. He says that every project he's ever worked on could have been just that much better with a little extra time."Time to do all the little things that may not be noticeable during the first hour or two playing the game," writes Batty, "but are appreciated over the course of days, weeks, months and beyond."
'SSX' will now be available on February 28th in the U.S. and March 2nd elsewhere. It's available for preorder on Amazon now along with a $10 credit.
