Marvel vs. Capcom 3 collectors edition unboxing

Posted — February 8, 2011 at 10:39 a.m. PST

If you'd like to see what all of the contents of the Xbox 360 special edition for Marvel vs. Capcom 3 look like, IGN has an unboxing video for you to look at. It's also mentioned that Jill and Shuma-Gorath will be available on March 15, 2011.

From an anonymous reader and NeoZero.

Wow the comic book looks really big. Alot more pages than I thought it would have. Looks like a comic book + gallery book combined into one.

Also, why does the guy look bored? If I was unboxing the collectors edition of the game (which I will be in a week), I'd be jizzing myself all the while going

OMG ITS MAHVEL BABY ITS MAHVEL BABY WHOOOOOOOO 10 FREAKING YEARS IN THE MAKING!

Pretty nice.

geni said on February 8, 2011 at 10:48 a.m.

jeese such a money grab honestly. paying extra for characters that are already on the disc

PropLeXed said on February 8, 2011 at 10:49 a.m.

Looks good, since there's no collectors edition in Europe I don't mind waiting a month for the DLC. Had no plans for them being on my team anyway.

ThatRandomGamerGuy said on February 8, 2011 at 10:50 a.m.

Can't wait!!

On a side note: I called my Local bestBuy who were supposed to have the MVC3 kiosk according to the website and when I called they said they can't have it due to it being Rated "M" WTF!!?!?

ButterKnife said on February 8, 2011 at 10:54 a.m.

I needed Shuma, but getting that comic and a month of Marvel digital comics is really worth the $10 extra.

J said on February 8, 2011 at 10:56 a.m.

I wish the CE was available in my country. :(

Oh and geni, the characters are NOT on the disc you moron.
Jesus Christ.

Gemakai said on February 8, 2011 at 10:56 a.m.

Oh sweet - the comic book comes with all the promotional art AND Fan Art? Awesome.

DarthWaddleDoo said on February 8, 2011 at 11:03 a.m.

Wait! If we got the collectors edition, we can play as Shuma and Jill right off the bat, right? We don't have to wait until March, do we?

blzd said on February 8, 2011 at 11:08 a.m.

CheechWizard said on February 8, 2011 at 11:10 a.m.

Is this the same comic book thats being given away with pre order copies of the game?

I ordered mine from shopto.net and its gonna be coming with an MVC3 comic book for free as a promotional offer. I hope the one in the video is the one I get.

@DarthWaddleDoo

You still have to wait until March 15th, but you've already paid for them.

This collectors edition is such a nice grab my goodness.

SmokeRulz said on February 8, 2011 at 11:18 a.m.

Damn that case is really sexy. I'm kind regretting not getting it now, buuut I didn't want to give Gamestop 70 bucks. Maybe if I'm lucky, my store will be selling the special edition.

I like the art of the metal case and the comic book cover but the art of the manual and the disc are just HORRIBLE...

I wonder if Frank West is still on the cover on the comic book. If he's on there still, I'ma be pissed.

That's right. Open the box... slowly. Put your hand on the manual. Feel the manual. Now pull it out... not to quickly now... that's right... that's right...

donsanity said on February 8, 2011 at 12:15 p.m.

Well I'm going to the midnight release at my GameStop and picking my CEs. One for PS3 & one for 360. :P

#27

Dark_Fantom said on February 8, 2011 at 12:25 p.m.

@Otter_of_death

LMAO, nice.

But ya when I pre-ordered the SE, I thought i'd get to play them on day 1...sucks that i have to wait another month. Does anyone have any idea how much Shuma or Jill would cost on XBL? the guy at the store said they'd probably cost at least $5 a character so it's worth getting the SE, but I'm not sure. Personally I think around $5 is fair...they have to put a lot of work into each character.

joker101 said on February 8, 2011 at 12:36 p.m.

I'm confused why there are so many thumbs down on the video. Is it because he didn't shoot a huge wad of sticky jizz all over the metal case as he was opening it?

"Yesssssss mahvelllllllllllll"

#35

Paji said on February 8, 2011 at 1:34 p.m.

@31 The DLC characters aren't free, and you get more than just a comic with the CE. Unless you're trolling, in which case hurr durr.

#36

Niebeer said on February 8, 2011 at 1:51 p.m.

Looks really sexy. Can't wait to pick it up

Weaponx said on February 8, 2011 at 1:54 p.m.

@ MALDA
Yes I'm thankful for that too man, I love the SF series and most of Capcom fighters. Its sad people don't appreciate the hard work these Developers put to make this game as for other games as well. I just know Feb 15th im going to enjoy the moment of MvsC3. :D

If you work at stores that gets them you can get it early, its as easy as that... want games before anyone ? work at stores that holds pre ordered games.

kingofthesharks said on February 8, 2011 at 3:06 p.m.

i has a question from an inexperienced DLC download perspective. I preordered the special edition. If I use the code for Jill and Shuma on my friend's PS3, but on my PSN account, will I be able to play Jill and Shuma on both his PS3 (in college) and my PS3 back home? As long as I'm on my PSN account do I get to retain/redownload the characters even on multiple PS3's? Does the same go for SSF4 costume packs?

Chakra_Flow said on February 8, 2011 at 3:55 p.m.

@#4 unlike you i do plan on checking out shuma gorath in this version :D i dont mine waiting though ^_^

#48

Paji said on February 8, 2011 at 4:04 p.m.

@39: Why would they give away the DLC characters when they could charge for them and make tons of extra money?

The cost of Jill and Shuma is included in the price of the CE, along with the metal case, comic/art book, and one month of Marvel online comics. DLC characters will probably be around 5 dollars and up so you're actually saving money on DLC characters if you get the CE.

#49

iag25 said on February 8, 2011 at 4:08 p.m.

Yaawwwn* ..weak limited edition. characters that's suppose to be in..a subscription to marvel online, that's probably only to hook people to it and increase cash flow. A comic that's probably the free one they've been handing out...
clap clap* great limited edition as always capcom ..always

#50

KizaruOfLight said on February 8, 2011 at 4:14 p.m.

I was under the impression that we'd get Jill and Shuma from day one if we got the CE. Kind of a bummer since I plan on having her in my team, but oh well. The CE looks great, glad I bought it :)

Can the 15th come any sooner?! Midnite release for me :)

VileEighty said on February 8, 2011 at 4:41 p.m.

Did anyone else preorder from the Capcom Store and pay with paypal? They say they don't charge you until it ships, but I paid through paypal and it charged my card. I'm assuming this means I've already paid for it...

#53

mdg164 said on February 8, 2011 at 5:21 p.m.

So glad I didn't pay for that junk. I don't care if the DLC costs $10, it's worth it to have a normal case.

Suppi said on February 8, 2011 at 5:32 p.m.

@53 yeah they charged me already aswell, but i didnt use paypal. I think the "charge when shipped" thing is only for items thats already in stock. I mean that is pre-ordering i guess, but they'll usually send you an email saying that its been shipped in a couple of days. Hopefully before the weekends.

#56

VileEighty said on February 8, 2011 at 6:14 p.m.

@56 Ah I see! Thanks, it's nice to know I'm not alone. I actually switched banks recently so I hope that doesn't complicate things (though it shouldn't!). Best of luck for both of us!

jdigitalseven said on February 8, 2011 at 6:56 p.m.

The 360 CE is ruined by the obnoxious neon green...360 game covers look like they are for 8 year olds....would match the Huffy White Heat bike I had in the 90's.

#58

SoundwaveButcher said on February 8, 2011 at 8:16 p.m.

I bet the DLC characters will be like time release FREE DLC.

#59

Hajiki said on February 8, 2011 at 11:17 p.m.

I'd like to say by using the 10% discount code at the Capcom Store, you'd roughly be paying about the same price as buying the Standard Edition alone.

#60

mdg164 said on February 9, 2011 at 2:53 a.m.

@60

Not true if you can use the 10% off coupon on the standard edition.

Plus I picked up the standard edition for $40 flat.

People who pre order should get it a week earlier than others... but no, we just get a shirt and lame book.. torrent

#63

Ex_Ein said on February 9, 2011 at 9:29 p.m.

@geni
wait when was it ever said it was on the disc? it was never stated that

@everyone else hating on the CE.....
I'm sorry but this is the only truly good CE I've seen in a while, It has persona 3 level stuff with it and Actually reading Incredible Hulk #181(Wolverine's first appearance), House of M(epic stuff), Tales of strange and other smaller titles that you might enjoy (like cloak and dagger, Max Series Punisher, Sliver Surfer, etc).

@JrockEclipse..so you're going to torrent something because your not getting something early? way to support another VS title happening in the next 5 years.

#64

Ex_Ein said on February 9, 2011 at 9:31 p.m.

Jill and Shuma being timed delayed for CE then normal consumption makes sense however if they're Paid or free DLC is yet to be seen however there's no real 100% proof of them being Paid DLC.
