UPDATE: EA is not charging a fee, Battlefunds or otherwise, for the Michael Jackson outfits in Battlefield Heroes.

We can choose to look at EA’s actions in one of two ways - they’re either paying homage to the late Michael Jackson, or cashing in on his death. Either way it will release two awfully familiar costumers for Battlefield Heroes in July 2009.

The first costume is the Smooth Suit inspired by “Smooth Criminal” and the second is the Thuggin Outfit inspired by “Bad.” In order to get these costumes you’ll have to cough up 420 Battlefunds ($3), the currency used to purchase items in Battlefield Heroes. You’ll have to use real money in order to buy Battlefunds in quantities of 700, 1400, 2800 and 7000.

Battlefield Heroes came out of closed beta phase last week and is available to anyone to play online for free. The game will make money via the Battlefunds systems, but maybe it’s a little too soon to charge for Michael Jackson inspired clothing.
