Marvel Vs. Capcom Infinite Trailer & Hands-On: 7 Things We Learned

7. Of Course There's A Collector's Edition

At this point, should anyone be surprised that publishers are still trying to hook consumers with marked up "collector's editions" of their base titles?

The benefits of spending the extra money may seem dubious to a large swath of gamers, but enough purchase them to make the practice lucrative enough for companies to keep it going. Let's take the "Gamestop Edition," for instance.

What comes with this supposed "low-price guarantee?"

For PS4 owners, it includes 4 unique character outfits: Warrior Thor (shirtless), Gladiator Hulk (complete with Centurion helmet), Evil Ryu (white hair and glowing violet flames), and Command Mission X (Megaman with a cool cape). To sweeten the pot, Capcom is also including 4 diorama statues with the collector's edition (Iron Man, Chun-Li, Captain Marvel, and Mega Man X) along with a set of replica Infinity Stones.

Admittedly, purchasing a set of 1/10th scale figures separately might be costly, but, unless you're a die-hard collector, is all this worth $200? Probably not, as the only in-game content included are the extra costumes. Most gamers will probably be just fine waiting until the game is out to see if they like it. Chances are those special outfits make their way into a DLC pack or "ultimate edition" of MvCI at some point down the line.
