is it just me, or do you get WAY more for the capcom store one than any others, at least if you like clothes?

3

Not just any bit of clothing. IT’S A FRICKIN’ “WASTE OF FLESH” SHIRT. Complete with tentacled cosmic horror gripping onto cute robot slaves.

4

Yes, but their shipping tends to be more expensive and slower than sites like Amazon (in my experience).

Also, d3v, you neglected to mention that if you preorder the regular edition from Amazon for either console, you get $10 in promotional credit toward a future video game purchase (you get the credit once the game ships).

5

Way more? Isn’t the only extra the shirt?

6

as compared to 2$ off or a crappy decal? That’s way more to me :stuck_out_tongue:

7

Whateva son, I get it for 10% off, and I believe I get it early, from Gamestop. I will wear my Ryu decal with pride!

(I work there so it’s pretty sweet)

8

thanks for posting this thread (:
I got my game at gamestop, does anyone know if its possible to get it earlier than the 15. i hear alot of people talking about early preorders delivery.
Gamestop garentees it on the 15 (cuz i got the 20$ shipping lol)
So will i get it early?

9

I have a guess with the early preorder; its possible they deliver them to arrive on the release day no matter what, so if you second day or slower you MIGHT get it earlier if the shipper is efficient, but might not.

Pure speculation of coures >>

10

No you won’t. We get sued 1000 dollars for every copy we let break the street date. We will do it for employees (I think) but other than that NOPE

11

Definitely Amazon since I have Prime, and I’ll take the $10 code over the T-shirt, which I would never wear.

Thanks for the details.

12

good thread, ill keep it stickied and updated if dev leaves

13

Best place to order in the UK is shopto, they’re always great with delivery when I order from them, you’ll probably get it a day early, £3 back if it doesn’t come by release day (won’t be the case,) some free MVC3 comic thing and just £32.86, cheaper than Game, Gamestation, Amazon, HMV, Play. Oh and free delivery.

14

no special edition STILL for the UK makes me angry.

15

Updated with K-Mart info.

16

If I preorder from the capcom store, will I get the Shuma shirt and the newly announced preorder shirt?

17

I’ve never pre-ordered from Amazon before, will they deliver by the release or ship on the release date?

18

They’ll ship on it unless you choose “Release day delivery” at checkout.

It’s usually pretty cheap, and free with a prime trial or membership. The option isn’t available on all orders.

19

So are the shirts now pre-order bonuses everywhere?

20

Just a note for Amazon.

Release date shipping is FREE with Amazon Prime. (Based on personal experience, you usually get the game on release day anyways with 2 day shipping. However if you do have Prime, you should just go with release day shipping)

Also the Collector’s Edition of the game does NOT come with $10 credit.
