It's Capcom. No matter what they say, or do, they just can't get a grip on the PS3. I expect the trend to continue steadfast until the next generation of hardware.
It's almost like they go out of their way to piss off PS fans, in every aspect of their business.

It's not just Capcom that does bullcrap like this. I feel like the gaming industry as a whole treats the PS3 like a redheaded step child.
Well I got news for you game devs, soon the PS3 is going to start working out! Then you have to deal with this:

if anything is the red headed step child of the gaming world, its the wii. ps3 and 360 are like two brothers competing to see who is the best at something.

First off, thanks for the Carrot Top picture, now I'm sterile. Probably for the best.
Second off, the PSN Demo actually sold the game to me. Having never had the chance to experience the (glory) of the original game, I fell in love right away.
Third, does anyone know if the game is still planning on coming with all of the characters unlocked? It's not a huge deal, but it's enough to make me not want to buy the game. My favorite part of fighting games is unlocking new characters. Always a sense of victory when that happens. Probably the same reason I'm an achievement/trophy hooah.

The PS3 is the red headed step child. I can't imagine why Capcom would do this unless it was for some money.

I thought the demo was perfect considering the majority of people interested in this game played it at least once within the last ten years and that no one in their right mind should buy a fighting game without at least a second controller and a few mates to play with.

It will come with the characters unlocked. I was hoping to unlock them myself as well.
I'm sure it will hit the PS3 the next day (in the US, i'm sure EU will get it a few months down the line ;)). And as far as PSN goes, there PS Store looks like one giant clusterfuck. There's been cases where they've had problems on the release day (for whatever reason) and won't fix it until the one week later on the next thursday. Why? It doesn't make any sense for them to releases vital updates when they get them. And if it looks like shite from where I'm sitting, i wonder what kind of headaches the game companies have to deal with.

They already have 3rd strike on Xbox Live. It's even backwards compatible.

Hmmmm...the fact that what you say may just be true, I will hold my tongue on my venting comments about Crapcom for now. *crosses fingers*

@RagingStormX,
Crapcom! I see what you did there! Man, that is priceless... a real knee-slapper. Have you thought about a career as a comedy writer? If not, you really should... I mean with gems like crapcom You'll make a mint!
Maybe I could be your writing partner... what if we call them crapcorn next? You know... because it SOUNDS like capcom, but suggests instead of just poo... poo with corn! Hilarious, right? I am telling you RagingStormX, you and I, we're gonna take this town and they won't know what hit them... in the funny bone!

PSN date coming "soon" huh? At least I've got BlazBlue to keep me occupied until MvC2 is out, whenever that is

And then the PS3 players who had a "demo" before everyone else said:
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.
Seriously, this is my most awaited game of the summer (most of what I want is coming out in the fall) and it gets delayed. God damnit.
My fightstick will collect dust another day.

Are you seriously complaining? As other said before, the game went for either $50-$100 used at gamestop or about $100 on ebay, and you honestly think $15 is steep?
If that ain't being a cheap bastard, then I don't know what is.

oh now thats some shit.....they do a good thing by FINALLY saying they are getting thins right for Bionic Commando: Rearmed, and Give us an "Exclusive" Demo for MvC2 but NOW they dont have a Date for its release!?!?!? Capcom REALLY likes to toy with PS3 owners it seems....I suggest they give it the same date as the XBLA release...........

straight ports get released at 800 at least this one is enhanced.
online play, sprite filters (good ones), and inclusion of widescreen (but doesnt affect gameplay and you can even add borders if you want to mimic the original)

Since they gave PSN the exclusive demo, they should also release it a week earlier. I've wanted to play this goddamn game since my PS2 copy got stolen.
Let's go July 23rd!
