Maybe Xbox 360 owners won’t get them at all.
PS3 owners are definitely getting those unlock codes for free. It starts with the Mega Man and Pac-Man DLC. Likewise, it’s just an entirely bad idea to make Xbox 360 owners feel like you’re singling them out and ripping them off by charging them for content that’s already on a physical media disc that they have already purchased and giving the owners of another console access to the same content for free. It’s like trying to explain just how blue an entirely blue square is. It’s tough to elaborate on this topic, not because it’s complicated, but because it’s so incredibly simple that I’m having trouble summoning up the words to further break it down.
You can occasionally scrape by with releasing content that’s free on one console and for a fee on another. There is no way you can do both, unless your goal is make hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of “fans” hate your guts. You can sometimes get away with doing on-disc DLC. The only way for Capcom to come out on top of this PR nightmare is to treat users on the PS3 and the 360 equally. It says to me that Capcom still may be able to avoid a huge PR crisis surrounding this content. No pricing has been announced on the DLC, which is a good thing. Word has it they will make their debut on the PS Vita, then will be made available via unlock code on PC/PS3/360 this fall. The question still remains as to whether they will charge 360 owners for those unlock codes (but we’ll get to that later).Ĭapcom has also given their official statement on the release of the other 12 DLC characters. No word on if (and for what price) those two characters will be making it to the Xbox 360, but seeing as they’re both already on the 360 game’s disc, chances are they’ll be officially unlocked by Capcom at some point. First is the news that Mega Man and Pac-Man, the PS3 “exclusive” characters, will be made available to owners of that console on March 13th, one week after the game’s initial release. The official word from Capcom has come down regarding the recent hack and subsequent Internet explosion of Street Fighter X Tekken‘s 14 DLC characters, which have been exposed as being actual on-disc content.
