It's not like these costumes were advertised as being available in the game, and then they took them out and are now charging you to use them. So what if people found that the code or whatever for them was there. Unless I'm mistaken these were not advertised as being part of the initial purchase.
It's probably a typo; you're not owed everything on the disc. You access the content on the disc on the publisher's terms; it really doesn't matter how they've chosen to monetise it.
Though again, this doesn't quite apply since the assets for these costumes weren't included in the original game.
Some of them were shown in the launch trailer, but that's about it. People shouldn't have inferred that they'd be part of the base game, but without clarification they jumped to conclusions.

Meh, I might get them if I have extra credit built up, but they're not a priority.
Is there a list of what else is supposed to be dlc?

And while people buy them, they will continue to sell them.
Supply and demand, they make far more money than they do piss people off.

Of course SCEE fucked up again with dlc ._.
On PSN Store PS3 version has all the new costumes dlc meanwhile PS4 is missing EVA costume, Naked Snake costume and complete bundle pack.
The only two I really want fml.

It doesn't matter, not everything in a game is advertised, does every gun, item and costume have to be advertised in order for it to be unacceptable?
Anyway, it's just my opinion.
Edit: Some were advertised.

I agree they are questionable, but it didn't seem to hinder The Boss or Eva having their thrupney bits hanging out.

Do they offer any abilities?
I like the MGS3 uniform, but I'll just stick to regular sneaking suit if Snake is gonna be stomping around like a baby elephant.
Such a joke in the game with regular uniforms. The legend! Master of stealth! The only man to get the title Bug Boss!...cannot sneak up on an enemy without them hearing him.

I had no interest in buying these. But I'm going to buy them for spite now, because of how ridiculous your pizza comparison is.
You can zip them both up. I was shocked, especially for EVA's - modelling a separate version almost nobody would use would seem to border on being a waste of resources, but it's still an admirable bit of attention to detail.

Those are from MGS3, it's a little late to complain about the designs.
Amazing logic. You sure showed that person!

Why no Tuxedo for Quiet?
I don't think anyone complaining about the costumes has actually played MGS3. Anyone even remotely familiar with The Boss would know she was showing yards of cleavage every second she was onscreen.

If you know that's the arrangement when you buy the pizza in the first place, then yes, it's acceptable. Did you purchase MGS V with the expectation that these costumes were part of the deal? If not, then whether the costumes were bundled in your original data, or downloaded on purchase, is ultimately an irrelevant implementation detail they did not deceive you, or take anything away from you, in this specific case.
Would it have been nicer for Konami to simply include these for free, and is it a bit annoying to be nickel-and-dimed like this? Yes, of course. But that's different from feeling justified in moral outrage just because of what data is stored where and when.

Those horses were totally dressed up for Kojima's going away party before it never existed.

Piss poor example. If they advertised it as an 8 slice pizza and didn't give you the full thing then they are false advertising. These costumes aren't featured or advertised to be part of the base product you pay $60 for. Their inclusion on the disc is irrelevant. Your paying $60 for a licence to access the base game. You aren't owed anything other then that unless advertised.

They can be zipped up.
The Boss (that white sneaking suit is her's) spends most of MGS3 not only with the suit zipped up but also with a poncho on top.

Way to show you haven't played MGS3, lol.

I didn't know that. Maybe it's a bit underhanded then, but like it or not, now that it's here, dlc is probably not ever going to go away. At least these are like impulse buy price levels. $4.99 for the lot isn't bad imo (lol stockholm syndrome etc.,)

That tuxedo is now ID-tagged.
Games have changed.
Pretty sure she only unzipped the outfit for the final fight with Big Boss.

I don't think you played it either
Nah they admitted to trolling for the lulz in another thread.
yeah. i get it, i wouldn't buy costumes otherwise. and these should be free. but its my money and so I'll spend it. I like MGS, sorry.

Oh I can't wait to put those on quiet... Oh wait...
I would assume they affect gameplay like other costumes, like the MGS3 sneaking suit has the same properties as the one in TPP or the Tuxedo doesn't offer any bonuses like the one you get for completing the last story mission.
And that too was for a specific story related reason.
Why do you let strangers control your life?

Sounds like you'll get along swimmingly with Quiet.
Speaking of which, missed opportunity Konami!
You can zip it up, Eva's too.

According to some people in this thread, you can zip it up.

If these are already "on-disk," should you be able to hack the game and get these?

Many people buying these seem to be the easily manipulated type, so I'm not surprised.

This is true in almost every game I buy at release. By the time they make the first DLC cash grab, I've already uninstalled and moved on to something else.
