Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition $32.81 (Ps3/360) -Free Shipping-

Anyone know for sure the disc is exactly equal to getting the SSF4 Dlc pack?

Did they include any costumes, or ANYTHING, to make this disc worthwhile over the DLC pack?

BUT IT HAS 4 NEW CHARACTERS *SARCASM* Which really is 2 1/2 because of the likes of EVIL RYU AND ONI EVIL SUPER DEMON AKUMAAAAAAAAAA

Not even Platinum Hits are $20 nowadays at retail. $30 is more realistic... and that will be the sale price soon enough.

It is exactly the same, save for the title menu saying Arcade Edition rather than just Super.
 
The disc release is meant for people who've never owned SSFIV. Don't like the price of the disc because you bought SSFIV? Then get the DLC for $15.

That's interesting. It must also be for the uninformed. SSF4 has been $15 easy several times, and even $10, making it much cheaper to get ssf4 and xbox points on sale.

I wonder if the price has gone up since the DLC or AE disc launched on ssf4.... not that I care too much; I've already got it.
 
15 is still too much in my opinion, I'll wait for it to go on sale for 7.50 or at least AE to be 20. Give it a couple of months and it'll happen.

Isn't that a bit demeaning? Some people lack internet or fast internet to use it. Some people were just waiting for the next one to go cheap. Some people don't follow deals or don't like buying online. The cheapest I ever saw SSFIV in person was 20 at a target.
 
I'm gonna wait for it to drop more. I just wish they don't release a version where all the dlcs are already on a disc. That would be lame. But deep down I know they will. lol.
 
Yeah, I've broken my repost cherry!!!!!!!!! :applause:

Sorry, scanned through the first page and didn't see it, will delete. This thread is no longer about anything. :booty:

Isn't that the whole point of this site? It's safe to say people reading this are following deals.

And he is right, you can go to big lots right now, buy Super for 15-18 dollars and then purchase the dlc for 15. Bringing it to cheaper than this deal.

Not sure what DLCs you're referring to.

Costumes. There are enough costume dlc's to pay for the game over again.
 
[quote name='specialist']Not sure what DLCs you're referring to.[/QUOTE]

The Costume Packs, probably. That's what I was expecting (hoping) to see on the disc.

LOL. Yes, as in "none of us." I'd imagine any CAG, even those uninterested in this game, has seen it as part of the gamefly sales for $10 a couple of times, and $15 most other times elsewhere. I think it's even been front page news here a couple of times.

As for the random buyer walking in to toys'r'us, this is just a cash grab against them by capcom. :(
 
I think I'll just wait for Super Super Super Street Fighter IV Arcade We're Totally Serious, This is the Last Time We Re-Release This Game, Honest Guys, Edition.
 
I read somewhere that if it sells well, they might consider to do something else so I don't know. Ono did tease two more characters because there are two empty slots in the game or whatever. Whatever the case is, this shit isn't worth 40 and the DLC itself isn't worth 15. Only the hardcore fans should go for it but if you just liked SSF4 and didn't love it, just skip it or wait for a price drop.

capcom is becoming shit in my book

Stop buying this recycled garbage from Capcom.

The same people who make fun of the 100 versions of Call of Duty and $15 map packs are the same people who go and buy 100 versions of Street Fighter and $15 costume packs, but it's okay because fighting games are more hardcore right guys?

If you keep eating up everything they feed you we are going to get to a point where they lock save files on 3DS carts.

It's not so much more hardcore, but the main Street Fighter series is a bit of a generational thing. The time passed between Third Strike and Street Fighter IV was a decade. Three separate updates for the game is par for the course.

Thankfully we don't live in a time where we're at a loss for fighting games to play that aren't Street Fighter.
 
On the back of the game it says the final showdown.

I got the game, because I didn't want to be saddled with DLC if I ever wanted to sell the game(which I doubt) or take it to a friend's house.

I understand that, but the upgrades are so minor they could easily be either free like TF2 (lol not happening), or sold as $10 DLC "patches", but I guess in comparison to $5 costume packs for things already included on the disc, $40 is "par for the course" for Capcom.

And yes, I know they did the same thing on the SNES, but it wasn't right then either, we just didn't have the technology to patch in Hyper/Super/Turbo/etc. (at least on a mainstream level).

It works as an arcade machine model because the consumer is putting in 25 cents regardless.

It's true that we have many alternatives to Street Fighter, it just blows my mind that people eat this up (same for MVC3 DLC being revealed before the game even went gold).

The updates from SFIV to Super aren't "minor". Ten new characters, new stages, new network configuration and features, new ultras for every existing character, and balance tweaks. Arcade Edition on the other hand is significantly less feature packed, which is why it's offered as DLC for those who already own Super.

MvC3 DLC announced before the game was even finished was garbage, though. It's meant to sell the Special Edition even more, but it still feels cheap. Then again there's the alternate bunch of people who are demonizing Capcom for not offering more DLC now that MvC3 has been out for a while.

As specialist indicated, SFIV->SSFIV wasn't a minor change. It was a completely different game. It was a huge jump, and the price tag associated with it was completely justifiable. It wasn't just $10 worth of stuff there. And SFIV wasn't setup to be updated via DLC like SSFIV was. Even the costumes were already on the disc.

Anyway, Arcade Edition IS a $15 patch right now. So, what you're asking for already happened. You're not going to get content for free (unless the company is awesome like ArcSys Works for BlazBlue). That's just wishful thinking. Is it worth $15? Not sure. Maybe. Dependent on the user. But you can get it for sale down the line if you really want it.

It makes me roll my eyes when people post that they're waiting for "Super Turbo Ultra" Edition down the line. No, you're not. You're just trying to be funny. You'll either pick up this version on sale later, or you'll scoff at the next version of the game with the same tired joke.

Well said, but I'd be more inclined to like you if you didn't have Ken in your avatar. ;)

I already have this on 360, This is the same price basically a good deal for those who want AE and don't have Super SF 4 already, so basically your paying $20 for SSF 4 and $15 for the AE.

although I have heard there are frame rate drops, and input lag on the PS3 ver

They've already started locking save files on the 3DS genius :roll:

And you can't deny the added value of this being on a disc. It's worth at least double if not triple of what the dl version is worth.
