EA has announced plans for a new content update for Skate 2. The pack is called the Maloof Money Cup Pack, and it's based on what EA calls "the largest pursed event in the history of professional skateboarding." I don't see what wearing a purse has to do with "shredding" "sick" "airs," but then, I am not a professional skatist.

The pack will run $3.00 on the PlayStation 3, or 240 Microsoft bones, and wiil contain new events for both the offline and online modes. Offline will have new vert and street contests, and the online mode will receive new challenges, as well. The Xbox 360 version will get an additional set of achievements, adding 250 points to the game. The release doesn't say anything one way or the other about PlayStation 3 trophies, so I've dropped EA a line to see if that version will see a similar update.

[UPDATE] I heard back, and no, the update will not add new trophies to the PS3 version of the game.

You'll be able to do the Maloof thing on July 9, which is one day before the real thing kicks off in Costa Mesa, CA. Here, look at some screenshots!
