Legos 360 to Charge for Prequel Characters

Apparently, Xbox 360 gamers will "be able to" download Star Wars prequel characters from Xbox Live Marketplace for play in LSW2 for a fee.

I suppose this sort of makes sense, afterall, you can' transfer over characters for a game that doesn't exist on this platform, but it does still annoy me.

LucasArts hasn't yet announced the price, that I could see, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it isn't egregiously high. Oh, and the opening to Episode V is just plain hot. Nothing like roping Lego Walkers.
