Capcom explains pricing difference for Devil May Cry 4 in PAL-areas

Some consumers in Europe and Australia might have noticed it already. The Xbox 360 version of Devil May Cry 4 is a bit cheaper than the Playstation 3 version in all of the PAL-areas. The Xbox 360 version has a suggested retail price of €59.99, compared to €69.99 on the Playstation 3. Dutch website PS3Only contacted Capcom for an explanation:

"I didn't realize we were the only publisher doing this. In actuality, it's not that the PS3 version has been made more expensive, but that our business model has allowed us to discount the Xbox 360 version."

This is especially strange, considering the price of both version in America en Japan is exactly equal.

nn6598d ago (Edited 6598d ago )

they should ask them when they will apply the same business model also for ps3.
for people in germany here you can get it for 57.99

the xbox 360 version is also cheaper (48.99)
http://www.spielegrotte.de/...

on playasia both are 40.84Euro

why somebody would disagree?
for giving a link where you can save money when buying the game on the platform you choose?

Ju6598d ago

Those games have "uncut" in their description. If that's what I think it is, its import, and probably they take advantage of the Eur - $ exchange ratio.

Zuhk6598d ago

Xbox will have to pay a subscription to Capcom to play the game.

Skerj6598d ago

Still BS any way you try to spin it.

TheHater6598d ago

Wow, capcom is really f**king the ps3 owners over.

Mr_Kuwabara6598d ago (Edited 6598d ago )

Tell me about it, this gen, CAPCOM has abandoned Sony. Seriously at least bring Monster Hunter 3 to the PS2 for f***s sake!

TheHater6598d ago

I know dude. I really want a next gen Monster Hunter game. But rent the one for the Wii, and if I think it fun, then I will get it. But I want one for the ps3.

kewlkat0076598d ago

even if they tell you the real reason, it probably does not matter. Capcom "dammed if you do and dammed if you don't."

I got a solution: Boycott and don't buy the game if you wanna make some noise.

I don't think Capcom reads these threads..

TheHater6598d ago

lol...so true. I was going to boycott devil may cry 4, but I am unable too. it too good

gunnerforlife6598d ago

i know how u feel even if i tried boycoting the game i still couldnt do it:(

niall776598d ago

the only thing I want from you is dead rising 2

Lord Cheese6598d ago

dead rising 1 with a decent save game system would do me fine - that game is so good but with that awful save system it seems hopelessly broken!

DMC2 ranked 2nd and also DmC ranked 3rd?
What a load of BS!

ABizzel1310d ago

IMO

6. DMC2 6/10
5. DMC4 7.5/10 (Hated Nero, repeat bosses, Dante was the saving grace but only about half the game)
4. DmC 7.5/10 (solid overall, some great ideas, meh story, dialog sucked, and the director almost killed DMC)
3. DMC1 8.5/10 (all around solid)
2. DMC5 9/10 (carried by Dante & Nero gameplay, I didn’t like V’s, Nero’s better but still not a fan)
1. DCM3 10/10 (chef’s kiss)

Vits310d ago

Well, it worked.

This nothingburger of a opinion article got a lot of views and comments.

Pyrofire95310d ago

WHAT!? who in their right mind would put 2 near the top (not at the bottom) unironically?
I think all of them are worth playing in their own right honestly, except 2 unless you REALLY want to experience the whole series.

FinalFantasyFanatic309d ago (Edited 309d ago )

I honestly don't know what the author was smoking, personally I'd rank DMC3 as no.1, maybe DMC5 as second, DMC1 as third, DMC4 as fourth, and DMC as fifth and DMC2 last. such a bizarre list, mybe the author just has strange taste.

lellkay310d ago

DMC2 anywhere but last is crazy. Awful list overall.

BlaqMagiq1310d ago

"Devil May Cry 2 isn’t trash. It’s just misunderstood by a fanbase that doesn’t like change."

This and putting DMC 2 number 2 is all I need to ignore this ranking. DMC2 is absolute trash and it's clear this person doesn't understand exactly why.

Flenter310d ago

For me: 3,1,5,4,2 and then .....Dmc

fsfsxii310d ago (Edited 310d ago )

Why is DmC last? Genuinely curious.

lellkay310d ago (Edited 310d ago )

Dmc is far superior to DMC2 come on

generic-user-name310d ago

"almost 20-year-old series"

It's 24 years old.

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

VersusDMC672d ago

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

VersusDMC672d ago

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Exvalos671d ago

What a weird name, it's essentially devil may cry, devil may cry lol

Cacabunga671d ago

Best to good for me: 3, reboot, 1, 5

2 and 4 are trash, didnt like any of them.
5 has very good gameplay variety but i hated the foes.. it is just insects the whole time. Reboot has the best foes for me

Friendlygamer672d ago

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

monkey602672d ago (Edited 672d ago )

2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best

Yui_Suzumiya672d ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde672d ago

Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...

5, 3, 1, 4, 2.

I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.

But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me

SeTTriP671d ago

This right here is my order as I thought DMC 5 was amazing and obviously 3 comes after 4 was great and 1 for the nastilgic value it holds 2 was so terrible that my local GameStop gave full refunds to people who returned it.

Bless the adorably all digital future! When it comes to PC games its not as big of an issue because there should always be another way to access single player games, but still, I hate to see anything get delisted.

Aaroncls7749d ago

Well, DMC4 special edition has a lot of issues to run from Steam.
I have to get a modded executable to even be able to run the game on Windows 10.
Not sure if it is because the game runs in DirectX10 or what, but it sucks they have not even tried to fix it.

Sephiroushin748d ago (Edited 748d ago )

DMC4 Special Edition is not delisted, it was just the standard version, it has nothing to do with issues of performance or anything alike. Its just that Capcom probably do not want to sell the standard version, neither the standalone DMC3 version.
