UPDATE: Your friend John D has officially overloaded the PSB servers with his gigantic comment contest. In response, we have temporarily disabled comments for this post. But fear not…the contest lives on! The first 10 people to message John Diamonon at PSN ID: HIERO9D3 with their name and address get a free vinyl!
What’s new PS Nation? Me? Well, I’m still recovering from all the Rock the Bells festivities last weekend where we sponsored Raekwon and MC Supernatural. And no, Capcom’s got beef with no one. That’s what’s up.
Anyway, it’s my pleasure to announce that Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 arrives on PSN today for only $14.99. (Take that eBay!). Go check out the reviews and you’ll find out that this is THE definitive version, complete with new hi-res graphics, widescreen support and lag-free, online play. Marvel was nice enough to provide an exclusive offer to the PSN faithful. The first 15,000 purchasers of the full game will receive a code for a free one month subscription to Marvel Digital Comics! If you are one of the lucky ones, you’ll receive an email sometime early next week with your redemption code.
Wait, there’s more. Since I know you all have mixed feelings about the original Jazz soundtrack, we decided to implement in-game XMB music so you can choose what tracks you listen to while executing your 100-hit DHCs on unsuspecting n00bs. “I’m gonna take you for a ride. I’m gonna take you for a ride. I’m gonna take you for a ride.”
Speaking of music, we collaborated with some of hip hop’s true artists to come up with a mix tape inspired by the game. The soundtrack includes songs from Talib Kweli, Raekwon, Hieroglyphics, Living Legends, E-40, Planet Asia, Havoc from Mobb Deep, Mc Supernatural, DJ Qbert, Oh No, DJ Toure and more. If you were lucky enough to go to Comic-Con a few weeks ago and snag one of the super limited vinyls we pressed, well, congrats! I see you up on eBay, don’t lie. We will be offering the full soundtrack on PSN next week, don’t trip.
Oh, and I’m offering one of these limited vinyls to post #5000 plus a code of the game (Continental US shipping only! PM me your name and address if you win.).
Did I mention there’s a limited edition, retail package of MvC2 for GameStop available today (I know I didn’t.)? If you see one, pick it up. It includes a PS3 box, and codes for the game and the Marvel Digital Comics one month subscription for only $14.99. Why even bother if you can download it directly from the PSN you ask? Well, you don’t have to use your credit card, you get a collectors box and it’s the same price. OK?!?
Lastly, I know many of you are upset that you had to wait two weeks for the game. Hey, don’t let those “other” fanboys get you down. This was the first time we had to coordinate a true global launch while synching up with the release of a retail package, and it wasn’t easy. I’m glad we could at least offer you the exclusive Marvel offer plus the upcoming soundtrack next week.
I’ll be back in a couple weeks to talk about our next fighting game, Fate/unlimited codes, designed for the PSPgo and exclusive to the PSN!
Peace,
John “HIERO9D3” Diamonon
I’m so spaming the board to get those prices muahahahahahahahah

marvel vs capcom DEMO was the wost demo ever made and the worst I have ever played. (no sigle player WTF). Thanks for that and Marvel Vs Capcom 2 was supose to be a PSN exclusive and now it’s on Xbox live. thanks for that too (Who is telling lies over at Capcom). I use to love capcom and lately I really could care less. I think I’ll pass on free stuff becouse I don’t know if they are lies. :(

John, would you mind giving PlayStation LifeStyle a code and we’ll see if we can beat your record and give it away to the 10,000 post? We don’t have as many readers so the chances of it happening are [PS3] Slim.
I cant wait to play this record on my non-existent record player!
Awesome news, delay isn’t even something to complain about.
Like I said before, you’re complaining about getting the content in both locations and having to wait a WHOLE TWO WEEKS! The horror!

Server overload.
How dod I make it so I just walk home with the vinyl and a free copy of MvC2?
John,
about the missing BC:R trophy patch in Europe, could the problem be that GRIN has shut down?
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/grin-founders-confirm-demise
Maybe the patch failed QA at SCEE, and now nobody will work on it and re-submit it?
Did i understand the situation correctly?

In the meantime…
