Soul Calibur IV's Premium 'tournament kit' explained

Remember when we told you about all the goodies available in Soul Calibur IV's $79.99 "Premium Edition?" Surely you recall the self-explanatory collector's tin, the comic slash artbook and the "extra customization content." But what of the "tournament kit," that nebulous bonus which we, after several heartfelt attempts, simply could not explain to ourselves?

Clearly sensing the many sleepless nights prompted by this enigma, Siliconera has revealed just how the tournament kit will, according to Namco Bandai, "give fans the opportunity to document the battle amongst friends." It's ... it's ... (highlight to read) a tournament bracket card!

Oh.

Don't worry, they haven't done any articles about the type of font used on the packaging yet or what type of wine the game goes best with.

I lol'd. : ) (+)

GTA IV is over hyped.

ronald.raygun: Apr 24th 2008; 6:09AM

sarcasm?

-btw I would wear one of these but I'm too busy wearing cool similar shirts like wrestling shirts or lightning flea market or cool wolf or tiger or native American shirts in the XL size.

This shirt looks much better than the SCIII shirt. Will now be buying the CE.

Noshino: Apr 23rd 2008; 3:53PM

even better than we thought...

Hope you're a fatty, then. It says the shirts only come in XL.

Sir Fidlious Wong (Zeon Defense Force): Apr 23rd 2008; 4:28PM

If you're over five feet tall, you're wearing an XL. Single most common shirt size. I'm not fat, but I'm big. Fatty McFatty Fattersons need 2XL or 3XL.

XL is a comfortably loose shirt. I don't like shirts that look like I'm advertising a fitness spa and a game at the same time. If I must be a corporate puppet, make sure it has a Samurai on it...

Ok. Personally, I wear a medium, and I'm 5'10/5'11

nerrrrrrd: Apr 23rd 2008; 3:56PM

I'd buy the ps3 version even if I only owned a 360.

deaftly: Apr 23rd 2008; 3:57PM

I wouldn't even wear that shirt to bed, I'd be too afraid of girls laughing at me and kids kicking my ass in my dreams just for wearing it.

You sleep in a bus shelter?

Ninjakamster: Apr 23rd 2008; 5:34PM

LOL. : D

FOXHOUND: Apr 23rd 2008; 3:58PM

A card...

-Ben Stein tone- Woooooow.

Well, at least I'll get the premium kit for the other stuff, I guess.

Phranctoast: Apr 23rd 2008; 4:00PM

There just seems to be way too many games that are receiving a special edition.

PojoMofo: Apr 23rd 2008; 4:10PM

they can put $5 worth of crap in a tin and charge $20 more for it. What is not to like? (from the publisher point of view)

Sabi: Apr 23rd 2008; 4:07PM

So is there any like extra content? or anything?
i don't think its worth 30 bucks more for a shirt that doesn't fit and a bracket card....

PojoMofo: Apr 23rd 2008; 4:11PM

HEY DONT MOCK THE TOURNEY BRACKET CARD!!!!

Dale: Apr 23rd 2008; 4:14PM

I hear video game t-shirts prolong your losing your virginity by up to one year per shirt.

NATO_Duke: Apr 23rd 2008; 4:16PM

OMG Those shirts are f*cking amazing looking! Its like an epic battle is happening right on your chest. (This as you are getting your ass smacked around in your own epic battle when people see you wearing it.)

LiK: Apr 23rd 2008; 4:16PM

day 1 bitchezzzz :D

rv: Apr 23rd 2008; 9:16PM

how eloquently put

Emophia: Apr 23rd 2008; 5:29PM

I can't highlight text due to my current situation, could someone copy paste what it says into a reply for me please?Thank you, much appreciated.

Donald: Apr 24th 2008; 9:40AM

a tournament bracket card

Ross P.: Apr 24th 2008; 1:14PM

I'd love to hear about this situation where you can read the site but somehow not select anything...even opera mini has a a thing to highlight text...

Emophia: Apr 28th 2008; 7:57AM

PS3 has nothing to highlight shit.

Robert: Apr 23rd 2008; 6:08PM

I like the look of this, i want it now

ascian: Apr 23rd 2008; 9:39PM

They really need to let us know what the downloadable content is. That's the make or break feature of this CE. I'm against special/limited/collector's game editions but would be interested IF I KNEW WHAT THE FUCK I WAS BUYING.

Siberian: Apr 24th 2008; 12:15AM

Still seems very silly to me that every piece of merchandise for this game has Vader or Yoda on it.

*shrugs*
