Capcom Store offers free shirt with Marvel vs. Capcom 3 pre-order

by Griffin McElroy on Jan 15th 2011 3:30PM

Are you looking for a fashion statement which will inform passersby that you could air juggle their pathetic frame for entire days with little to no effort? Good news: The Capcom Store is offering just such a shirt with pre-orders for Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds Special Edition.

The deal is only available to North American shoppers -- fortunately, this regional exclusivity means shipping for both the game and shirt is on the house. We're not sure how long the pre-order offer will be available, so you might want to strike while the iron is still hot.

Yes! Better than supporting gamestop.

@bigotis

I'm getting tired of how everyone has taken to bashing Gamestop like they're some evil empire intent on taking over the world, and that gaming is still some underground movement and Gamestop is too mainstream. Guess what? They are a company that wants to make money, just like any other. More importantly they are an outlet to video games, which I'm sure everyone on this site enjoys. You're just losing that outlet by "not supporting them." I'm pretty sure they'll get by just fine without you.

@Burnflare

Just because they're a company that wants to make money doesn't change the fact that they're an evil empire.

@Cypher FDP

You know what was an evil empire? The Mongols. I bet you don't go comparing Gamestop to them.

@Burnflare

dude just let them, i donno where exactly the hate originated from.. i think its from the employees selling games to the casuals or asking them if they want to buy/sell/trade games then selling them for twice the price... truth be told, its a company. Then when you add angry uptight gamers in the mix it doesn't sit well. My gamestop is the sh!t, i know the people and we game occasionally. They got me my GI subscription which i didn't even know i would like. Yeah the used games are over priced but so fuking what, go to ebay or amazon, its that simple.

@Burnflare
"We'll give you $25 for your new game." Then you see it on the shelf for $55. That's evil.

"Do you want to preorder Halo 4? New Call of Duty? Do you want an Edge Card? Do you want some insurance for your game?"

And let's not forget how they unwrap new games and still sell them as new even though they have scratches. I don't want a new game b/c nobody used it, I want a new game b/c it has no scratches.

And there have been several times where they sold me a game with lots of scratches and when I try to trade it back in they take off money cuz it's too scratched. Yeah, Gamestop is evil.

@JIAGPOS

Again, let me reiterate that they are first and foremost a COMPANY whose goal is to make a PROFIT. So of course they rip you off when you sell them your games. How else will they make money off of them?

And seriously? You're complaining about scratches on the case? That makes them evil? Then that means the grocery store across my street must be evil, those apples I bought were bruised!

@bigotis

I dont think anyone realizes that Gamestop is just a free game rental establishment. You know the newest games will be in the used game pile 24 hours after the game's release date. Buy the used version, beat it in 7 days and then return it for a full refund. That's how you stick it to Gamestop.

@Burnflare

I don't hate Gamestop just because it's a company. I hate them because they do rip you off with used games and trade ins (Amazon is infinitely better, even though you have to) and because every time I've been to one, the associates are slow, inept, and like to argue with me if I say I'm not interested in a game.

@mezzaninex

*have to deal with the postal service)

@Burnflare

I'm guessing you've never heard the term "customer service." I'm sorry that you're somehow completely oblivious to the fact that there are ways for a company to make money without ripping off their customers.

Oh and you must be complete moron if you think he was complaining about scratches on the case, and not the disc. You know, the more important part?

@Burnflare

Oh and for the record, I don't think GameStop is evil, I just think it's a shitty place to buy games and generally don't like to do business with them.

@Burnflare

I guess you never tried to do a pre-order with them and have them sell your pre-order on you to someone else who didn't even have a pre-order.

@Morisato13 It's tough to beat New Vegas in 7 days :P

@evanset6 I beat it in a week, and still dropped about 80 hours into it.
And by beat it, i mean got to one of the possible endings.

Shame that European shipping costs extensive amounts.

Already pre-ordered. With a code you get from registering an store account, you get %10 off. I pre-ordered the special edition, and total was $67.40 shipped. Only four bucks more than if I had gotten the regular edition at a retail store.

Anything to get people to buy this TERRIBLE GAME! Isn't that right mr. Hinkle?

No thanks. I'll make my own game called MaXel vs CaXcom 3 and give the original creators no credit.

Pre-order cancelled BTW.

I tried emailing them to see if we could choose a size for this, but to no avail. I figure it'll be an XXL like every other giveaway shirt. As cool as the design is, no thanks.

@profbobo
My friend called it a picture of Shuma gorath haveing tentacle sex with a bunch of servebots... which is a better shirt that I might ACTUALLY make.

You can get the shirt buying only the regular edition as well :)

A free t-shirt never entices me to buy a game. Yes I will be getting MvC3, easily but a t-shirt, I don't care....Though I don't even wear band shirts, well...thats a lie...I do have a "Devil Wears Prada" and "Senses Fail" shirt. I dunno.....I would feel funny wearing a videogame shirt, but thats me.

@The Minn

I would be embarrassed to wear a scremo/metalcore shirt!

Just kiddin, wear what you want :0)

You can get the shirt buying the regular edition as well :)

I pre-ordered the regular edition for super cheap on amazon, but I want a Special Edition, too. I guess I may as well buy this and then sell one of my copies to a friend.

WASTE OF FLESH [tentacle fold]

UGLY ASS Tee i'll pass

Actually, I am pretty sure that is the shirt Meat Bun sold...or did sell.

THANKYOUTEN

That promo code will get you 10% off either version of MvC3 (PS3/360, Standard/Special) as well as free US Economy shipping.

Just ordered it for PS3, woo.

@BPMOmega XBL PSN Steam

It's just enough to cover the tax! :D

@Tacowavable
Tax? I didn't get charged any tax... It was $62.99 for me. Maybe you're in the same state as one of their distribution centers?

@BPMOmega XBL PSN Steam

Possibly, either way, I got charged $4.70 for tax. It's very apparent on the invoice xD

It was $58.69 (with the 10% discount) for the regular edition for me.

Nothing says I'm not getting laid today like sporting a gaudy gaming t shirt.

@ZForce915

Depends on where you hook up with girls =P.

Hrmm, I'd rather go Amazon. 6 dollars cheaper on pre-order and the shipping is free plus no tax.

did you guys (joystiq) already note the two dlc characters featured on the capcom store in the special edition advertisement? if not theyre right there.

So do they have this In actual gamer sizes? (2-3X)

Not making a crack at gamers just curious since most preorder shirts are in a Large, if even that.

Free shipping unless you live in Canada...

Ugly shirt of a character that no one cares about, plus they don't specify what size the shirt is. No thank you.
