With the impending release of Marvel vs. Capcom 2 on PSN and XBLA, you’d think that Capcom would stop at advertising it everywhere. Enter Gamestop, who have now added a PS3 version of the game’s retail pack.
Hold on now, the game isn’t coming out in disk format. It’s just a voucher for the game at a whopping $19.99. Thankfully, you’re not just paying extra for a plastic box. Inside the box you’ll also find other goodies:
- Redemption Code for full game
- DVD case with sleeve
- Data DVD with exclusive artwork (wallpapers, icons, character and content art), 4 trailers and screenshots
- 8 page color manual with artwork and moves list
- 1 month free subscription to Marvel Digital Comics ($9.99 value)
- 2000 Capcom-Unity points – can be used for prizing and auctions
There you have it. So there IS a disk, just not the one you were thinking.
*sigh*
I really need to get a PS3 now…
Don’t worry, if this thing is true it’ll likely get some reaction from the Xbox 360 crowd. I don’t see this actually being an exclusive bonus for PS3 owners.
Damn…I’m thinking Capcom is..making a new business strategy here?
That’s right, screw retail and cut the middle man out of it.
Whoa, free subscription to Marvel’s digital service. That’s good stuff. Still, I’m too crappy at fighting games to feel like this is a smart purchase for me right now.
@LanceHeart: You mean like how Gamestop had exclusive Joker maps for Arkham Asylum and squat for 360? I wouldn’t be surprised if 360 got the shaft here too.
Tatsunoku for Wii!

@SeraphMan: If Capcom decided to make this game’s retail kit PS3-only, that’s their decision. I was just stating how I think it wouldn’t be the case, considering how Capcom has rarely given multiplatform games exclusive non-game content.
