The link to the GAME site went a bit wrong.

Hmmm, the faceplate is the right orientation for my Xbox 360 but doesn't look all that great to be honest. I guess I'll be sticking with my original GAME pre-order then even though I'd rather have a faceplate than a useless DVD and book. Ah well so long as they're "free", I can't complain really.

With the excitement of the original (and the SSF2HDR beta) I completely forgot 4 was coming so soon, can't wait to get online with this baby!

Does the game come in a tin case? Me likey tin cases! :)

Also the 360's cover art looks nicer with cooler colours but the PS3's is definitely moodier and perhaps more SoulCalibur-ish.

The faceplate is very nice, but the regular boxart for the game is horrendus, so I have to go with the one from Game, simply because it comes with the tin case, with a far better design.

Random Fact!

The GAME link goes to game.com rather than game.co.uk, obviously.

Some of you may recall the game.com handheld game/dialup internet device thing, which was from Tiger, now Hasbro.

Hmm, copy and pasting "Soulcalibur" as per EG's spelling (and the official website's) into a Play search brings up nothing. They spell it "Soul Calibur."

Game also spell it that way but a search for "Soulcalibur" still brings up the game.

Aren't you glad people like me are around to point these things out? ;)

Aww man! I was going to go for the PS3 version (Vader rules) but now I'm getting seriously temped, faceplate is nice and I don't want a book or DVD and I'm sure I'll be able to download Vader at a later date...

This is the only problem with owning both systems, it's making my brain hurt :(

Well, unlike Ninja Gaiden II, this is acceptable.

Being rewarded with actual game-content purely because you pre-ordered from a certain store, or because you were an idiot and paid £10 more for the special edition, is absurd. I was expecting SCIV to do something like this, but fortunately it seems all designed content will be on the disc, no matter where you buy it, or what version you have.

Extras like faceplates and art-books are all fair, though. As long as it's not in-game stuff.

^^The US edition comes with exclusive content for the create a character mode, that we apparantly aren't getting at all.

That sounds like an argument for importing and, if the 360 version isn't region free, an agrument for getting the PS3 version. Framerate permitting.
