Hate them all you want, it's a common industry practice that WORKS to make more money.
If you hate it that much, pirate it.

I bet someone will sue Capcom and I what's the point of having the special edition? Thought the special edition will have lots of features that the basic game doesn't have!!! The download content cost way more than the special edition!

It's still not right to do it. What's next you have to pay for each level of the game as you play it, plus the $60+ retarded amount you already have to fork over for these games. If these games where not so much then fine, but they are far from cheap. These dumb-asses wonder why they lose sales and people pirate there games. Who would spend an additional $120 on extras for street fighter? I am surprised people still even play, let alone pay almost $200 if they want the content on the disc back, on such a boring repetitive game.

Last I checked you had the option to pay for it or not. Still I think its stupid to own the disc but not all the content. Seems like Capcom published CoD too.

Like the iPad, if someone is dumb enough to buy it, they deserve what they get.

You may own the disc, but you do not own the software or content. Microsoft does the same with their OS. It's crap, but it's common practice with more and more game and software developers.

This does not surprise me. Capcom has been doing this for years since the early days of street fighter. I can not think of how many street fighters games and revisions there are. Capcom has also recently done this with the super street fighter 4 edition and the exclusive AE (arcade edition). I find this game similar to Apples, Intel processors/motherboards and even in college textbooks how they seem to make the most minute changes and resell the product with a different name or title. This is capitalism at its finest.

Of course, you are only being sarcastic, but we know that this is Capitalism at it's worst. It is crony capitalism and it is identical to the "green" crony capitalism practiced by the White House Energy Department. And these exact tactics are what have given capitalism a bad reputation.
Most socialists hate capitalism because they were told to - no other reason. The only lessons they have ever received about it stem from the corruptions of it.
