Why do those who haven't bought costume DLC for Super Street Fighter IV get to see those who have on Xbox 360 but not on PS3? Capcom spills beans.
It's to do with cost - Microsoft will transfer "additional data" at no cost while Sony want to charge for it. You only get new costumes if you "actually buy" them.

Sorry but don't go expecting Darkstalkers 4 and the next Capcom vs. SNK anytime soon as Christian Svensson of Capcom says they're taxed right now.
They've got Street Fighter X Tekken, SSFIV 3D, SF3: Third Strike Online, MvC3 and "maybe something else" already on the go. They "don't have the resources".

No Marvel vs. Capcom 3 demo, "historically" Capcom avoid them

Sorry brawler fan but Capcom has no Marvel vs. Capcom 3 demo for you mainly because it would have come at some "tradeoff" with the full game.
They take "time to make, test and submit" which could be better spent on the actual game. Also Capcom "historically" doesn't do fighter game demos.
