Preorder RE The Mercenaries From Capcom & Get Free 3DS Case

[Borman]

Well, there is a certain irony to the situation...Capcom sell something that's got a limited number, it sells well and quickly at least partially because it's limited, but because it sells well they decide to create more...

Bingo. I bought it because it was limited, something that is all too rare in todays world. Doubling the number of them isn't only diluting the "limited" nature of things, but its also false advertising. "False advertising or deceptive advertising is the use of false or misleading statements in advertising. As advertising has the potential to persuade people into commercial transactions that they might otherwise avoid, many governments around the world use regulations to control false, deceptive or misleading advertising."

Wow Capcom suckered another batch with their so-called exclusive/limited content? How unexpected!

[BBboy20]

Becky's something like 32 now. Wow. That's depressing to think about.

Then again, Barry should be much older looking by now.

[ANDYARKLAY]

Got the mail saying that number is limited to 1000. It will end up by being limited 10000 or so - funny and stupid action from capcom!

[Archelon]

And like I already said, it will eventually go on sale separately after Mercs 3D is released.

Barry should have a lot of silver by now.

Ooooor, perhaps it was simply a typo?

Can't get all this silly fuss for something that's even FREE.

No, its the principle of saying something is limited to x many copies, then going and doubling that. Is it a lot? No. If they were going to make up more, just call it Limited Edition and dont put a number on it, like they do with Halo games , so at least we KNOW it is not truly limited, because who doesn't see boat loads of Halo LE laying around? But putting a number on something, taking orders for it, then doubling it is false advertising, simple as that.

[Mr. Rod]

1000 copies is still fairly limited, isn't it?

[Vito]

omg.....people really are bitching about this??

Suuuuuuuure. ;>_> Typo. Convince those gamers that preordered that said limited content got less limited.

[Mr. Rod]

Less limited or not, is it really worth complaining about? 500 extra copies are going to make you cancel a preorder or make you feel you were "cheated"? It's just an extra for buying their game, chill out people. RE fans just take things like this way too seriously.

[Smiley]

Is it worth complaining about you ask? My answer: About as much as making multiple posts defending it.


But hey, I only think it's more along the lines of "Typical Capcom". I know some people can buy this game anywhere and save the money it takes to get it off the Capcom store. If they're getting it there with the hopes of having that limited case and they discover it's hardly limited afterward.....well I get where they're coming from. I'm just looking forward to when the DLC/super version comes out. Not because that's the version I'll buy, but because the shower of tears from upset gamers makes for a good thirst quencher.

We demand satisfaction.
