PS3 Marvel vs Capcom 2 Retail Release Confirmed



The rumored retail re-release of Marvel vs. Capcom 2 for the PS3 is a rumor no longer.

Xbox 360 owners may have gotten their hands on the re-release of beloved Capcom fighter Marvel vs. Capcom 2 at the end of July, but PS3 owners have had to wait a little bit longer - the game won't be available on PSN until Thursday, August 13th. In exchange for the wait, however, the PS3 release will actually have a retail version [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/93229-Marvel-vs-Capcom-2-Comes-to-PSN-Two-Weeks-Behind-XBLA] as rumored ... sort of.

Pictures of the PS3 box were posted on the One poster in particular [http://www.capcom-unity.com/marvelvscapcom/go/thread/view/55141/18684839/PS3_MvC2_Retail_Release__Looks_Like_Its_Official?num=10&pg=1] confirmed the contents of the case:

[blockquote]* Redemption Code for full game
* DVD case with sleeve
* 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 [sic] and auctions[/blockquote]

Unfortunately, it looks like the CD with exclusive artwork and wallpapers isn't included in the package as the original rumors indicated. Still, that seems like a pretty good deal for $15, no?

...so what's the point of the case? It's just making more useless plastic. This seems pretty useless to me.
Its just Capcom's way of saying sorry for the PS3 version being delayed or something.
At least thats my guess.

They did that with Patapon 2 as well.

Am I the only one that wants hard discs when I'm buying a case? :p

The only reason I didn't buy Patapon 2 was it was entirely digital.
