Ultimate is the penultimate version.

Impossible to download at a later date? What?
I'm still not seeing why it should be free in any case.
If it's between PS3 and 360, the 360 version of U/MvC3 performs better.
Saw coming back to Steam a couple of months ago after disappearing last year still feels like a dream. Talk about out of the blue. It's too early to say why Konami thought it prudent to obtain the licence again (but doing so was a wise move as the game sold like hotcakes during the Halloween Sale), but I do wonder if the internal PC port of Saw 2 will now see the light of day.
For one thing, let's be clear- I'm referring to the DLC, not the games. You can still get the games in physical form.
Once it's de-listed in 3 days, it's gone. Period. You can't get it any more. The fact that Capcom held characters back as DLC is kinda scummy. Not being able to buy them any more is unfortunate AND scummy.

So is there any particular reason why the Value pack has all of the costumes except Magneto?

Hmm. what to do.
UMvC3 has 12 new characters, big rebalances, new artwork. Jill and Shuma are still DLC though.
UMvC3 only got DLC costumes (outside of the 6 from MvC3 that already had them; which also transfers over to Ultimate).
If you're talking about what's new in UMvC3 compared to MvC3, there's a lot.

It should be noted that if Combofiend's announcement is s typo and he means that MvC2 is getting removed, then Jill and Shuma can still be downloaded since they're considered MvC3 DLC, and not Ultimate (they both carry over). I wish this could get all cleared up though.

Eh, at this point I don't care for the distinction seeing as the person I was quoting didn't bother to make it. But then to clarify further, are you referring to an inability to access downloading the content after they're delisted after having purchased them, or the obvious inability to purchase them after delisting?

Better jump on those Shadow Battles while I can!

I'm referring to the inability to download them after they're delisted. If they offered them in some other way, that'd be a bit more ok, although I wouldn't want to buy a new disc just for Jill, Shuma, and the costumes. It's the fact that from the 17th onward, any copy of UMvC3 sold is going to be forever incomplete that bothers me.
I'm almost 100 percent sure that it's a typo, and this all has to do with a very specific digital distribution license for those two games. I'm willing to bet the port deals with Foundation 9 for MvC2 are a separate deal entirely.
Sequel confirmed?! Or you need a dictionary =P

In any case, this is why I never complain about the $40 Capcom retail expansion.
Fuck the digital future.

Well, I guess because they stopped showing up in stores here since last year made me think that they stopped making them - thanks for reminding me about online, it's all good now.

Same shit happened a couple of years ago with Marvel Ultimate Alliance so seeing this isn't too much of a surprise.
Here's an interesting question if someone could answer. If you buy the Value Pack for Ultimate do the Vanilla costumes work in that version or do you have to buy them separately?
And they need to discount all that DLC super deep. Treat it as a fire sale and move on.
So I wonder what this means for the Swagneto alt? Is it forever locked to be used as a glitch costume or could Capcom just release a patch that just activates again?

Does being delisted mean you won't be able to download them from your download list if you've purchased them? Or is it 'just' disappearing from the store and you won't be able to buy them if you haven't yet?
If it's the latter, it still sucks, but if it's the former I'm guessing there would have been much more outrage?

you can re-download as many times as you want until Sony like shuts down their servers for the PS3 store

If you buy the content before the delist then it's yours as long as the service that still hosts the content exist. So once its gone, its gone "forever." "Forever" in the case meaning that if or "when" Capcom works out a deal with Marvel then it'll comeback.
$5 a pop. Less so at the moment if you're doing the PSN thing.
I am on PSN. So if I buy the 2 characters and the value pack I get all the costumes? Or do I have to get other dlc too? I hadn't keep up with capcpom milking.
PS
al psn is still is full price

Doesn't look like it (grumble grumble grumble).
And the store UK PSN store layout really is quite confusing. I spent a while searching for the PS3 DLC but the store only lists the the Vita version of UMvC DLC which it turns out should actually be cross buy ("Buy this product for PlayStation®Vita and get the PlayStation®3 version FOR FREE. After purchasing, simply head to the PlayStation®Store Download List for your PS3 and youll find this product ready to be downloaded.").
Uhh.. do you have a source for this?
Sounds like it's ambiguous either way from the post and impossible to tell what exactly he meant.

Jill and Shuma are technically MvC3 content that just so happen to work with Ultimate. If it's MvC2 and Ultimate MvC3 being taken down, and not vanilla MvC3, then it probably means that people can still buy Jill and Shuma.
But yeah, it's ambiguous as hell and a terrible time for a typo.
Call it a rampant hope in my heart that Ultimate isn't the last we see of the versus series.

But the problem with that is that Jill and Shuma are on sale too and I don't think they'd be if they weren't gonna be taken down.
As far as I can remember, for the costumes, there is only one all-character costume pack, just like there is only one Jill and Shuma pack that works for both games. Don't quote me on that, I'd say the day that you're going to buy them, just search first.
There's also usually a description where you buy them as well that says so also.

Any chance that the DLC still goes on sale in the next few days on the EU PSN?
Or do price updates usually only happen on Thursdays?

Does the US DLC work for the EU version?
Hopefully this means an Uncanny MVC3 digital version being announced with a balance patch, Jill/Shuma + previous DLC costumes included. Gotta believe.
Even if this were to happen, the vita would get nothing anyway, best to get dlc for it while you can, capcom hates the platform.
Vita version of UMvC3 is the best version though; with the most features.

I really hate the whole licence bollocks that comes with games. If that title is using a licence, then that licence should last forever for that one title, not 2-3 years.
This is why I worry about the digital future, losing out on games because some licence ran out. Not everyone buys games right away, sometimes, 4-8 years down the line, someone finds out about a game and wants to try it, but wait, it's gone from the digital service.... absolute bollocks.

Time to go digital.
Nope.
This is a bit iffy due to Marvel's lawyers.
I own MvC3 on both platforms with all DLC (except Shadow Battles lol), and UMvC3 on 360/PS3/Vita with all DLC so I think I'm okay.
