Marvel vs. Capcom 2 is hitting PlayStation Network later than we expected. Capcom sent word to us earlier this morning that the title would be available via the PlayStation store on August 13 -- many moons from the July 29 Xbox LIVE Arcade launch date.
While this isn’t a delay, we were surprised to learn the release date wouldn’t be closer to the XBLA date. Capcom released a PlayStation 3 exclusive demo for the title in late April, which to us indicated some sort of special brawler bond between Capcom and Sony.
We reached out to Capcom PR about the later date and we hope to hear back from them soon, but in the meantime, here’s some speculation: Siliconera believes the release date has something to do with the now-yoinked GameStop Collector’s Edition version of the game. Manuals do take time to print. We’ll let you know when we know.
[Thanks, Adam!]

Not cool.
Me too. I don't feel like spending 40 on a fightpad.
@Chronic:
Yeah, it's supposed to come with some exclusive art and I guess a regular manual.
I don't think that was ever indicitive of a strong link betweeen the two companies. Remember, the beta for SSF2THDR (jesus that's long) ws exclusively on Xbox 360. I think Capcom was just trying to spread the love around by giving the PS3 something exclusive.
Or, you know, totaly fuck it up like every last one of your conversions, whatever works
