IGN Blu-ray: Jade Klassic costume with purchase of MK/MKA on Blu-ray

Here's what makes me laugh. Whenever I or someone else had a complaint towards the game or how things were being run, we'd get flamed for it.

And now the tables have turned a bit.

Guess it's okay to ***** when it effects YOU. But no one else can.

I already have Mortal Kombat but I guess I can give it away if this means I get a klassic Jade costume but.....Annihilation? Ugh, what a waste of money.....but for Jade, I'll burn it =)
I don't think you need to buy Annihilation. Just the first movie. Unless they're sold together.
 
It's amazing how some 360 owners immediately turn into spoiled little brats when they don't get their way. Across all games, it's still not even close...360 gets way more exclusive stuff.

Right, and we are talking about Mortal Kombat, not ALL GAMES. We are not turning into spoilt brats, I didnt give two shits about Kratos, but I do give a shit about MK kontent.

Oh wait, so we're talking about Mortal Kombat here on this MK forum? Okay, thanks for clarifying, I was confused. /sarcasm

You completely missed the point. My point is, across all games, 360 owners get more exclusive stuff. So when they get the screws put to them on one game, it's amazing how they act like they never get anything. So, yeah, spoiled little brats...
 
Some people are just missing the whole point. I am not sitting here waving the 360 flag as if I want 360 exclusives or claiming it's superior, I am simply expressing how console favoritism, on a multi-console game, is retarded. I don't care if it's in 360's favor, PS3's favor, or Wii's favor...it's absolutely retarded either way. If you want to have a game on one console, fine, but if a game is represented on multiple consoles, it should be treated equally across the board. I don't want to see Microsoft and Sont pulling strings to give their console's version of the game, extra content. We are all paying the same damn price, we should receive the same content. It's as simple as that.

I own a 360 and a Wii. The ONLY reason I don't own a PS3, is because it was more expensive than I wanted to pay for a while, and it still doesn't have enough games exclusively, that I care enough about to pay for a PS3. You won't see me sitting here bashing the PS3, in favor of the 360. Consoles are consoles, each has their pros and cons. I'm a gamer, I love games, whichever console can offer the most games I want to play, I buy it. That's it. The companies that run them have nothing to do with it. In fact, when it comes to the 3 companies at hand, Microsoft is my least favorite. I hate that they often nickel and dime you to death over DLC and stuff, and their shit breaks on me all the damn time. I've gone through like 8 mics, and 3 360s. So no, you're totally misunderstanding my whole point.

I want equality when it comes to getting extra stuff. I don't care who's favor it's in, I'll call BS. Just like pre-order store bonuses and the like. It's retarded, just give us all the same damn stuff for the money we pay for. Stop giving certain stores exclusives and making us jump through hoops to get the most complete game.

Thats exactly the way im feeling, people are getting the wrong signals. If you make the same game for different consoles, then there should not be any differences. People make it seem like everyone can just jump outside and grab another system. There are various reasons to why people own ONE, be it cost, what fulfills you better, etc.. People, developers as well should take that into consideration and give everyone the same shit.

Couldnt agree more!!

I hope they aren't sold together! That would be a better idea.....
 
@BlackCyborg & Taj:

I hear what you guys are saying and I agree w/ you. Yes, it is BS. But it is also the way the gaming industry is going...it's getting worse, not better and there is nothing that any of us can do about it. I have both consoles but game on the PS3 probably 90% of the time, if not more. Just saying I find it real hard to shed a tear for 360 gamers when they get the preferential treatment more often than not (they get the Black Ops map packs weeks before PS3 owners, acess to Crysis 2 demo now and it hasn't even been announced for the PS3, etc.) I'm happy w/ the PS3 love for this game because this is the game I care about the most, however, if you look at all the games I will play this year more times than not I will get the short end of the stick.
 
I have almost every console, including handhelds, and there are positives and negatives about every single one of them. Sure, each console has some 'special' attention at some time or another (Halo for 360, MK9 for PS3, for example), but console wars in general are incredibly stupid. If you don't like a console, cool, you are free to dislike whatever you want, but to argue LOLOLOLOL 360/PS3 IS BETTER is just dumb. I like PS3 more than anything but I don't prance around like a douchebag claiming it is better than 360, I just happen to like it better in general. That doesn't mean 360 sucks.
 
Finally the first movie will be released on Blu-Ray. Its DVD counterpart has been out of print for too long.
Annihilation, on the other hand, I don't give a single shit. Nevertheless, it's a funny movie...

You know, that's exactly what I think about it.
I think console wars are among the dumbest thinks to ever come from the human race.
I mean, what's the point of being possessed by the mind of a 9 year-old boy and start flamming on the internet "PS3 OWNZ!!!ONE!!!1111"?

I for one tend to favor the Nintendo systems more, since I've grown with the SNES and the Nintendo franchises have a big part on my gaming life (it's different from "fanboysm", however). The 64 was a great system on its own right (though the PSOne was better, imo), while the GameCube was simply a beast. Even with this whole casual thing, I enjoy my Wii, and I don't see a plausible reason to go like "Nintendo exclusives are the best shit. Screw you all, PS360 owners! Yeah!".

Every system is a great deal and has its pros and flaws: you just need to pick the one which will please you the most.
Gah. The opinion of a single person is not the holy truth.

Not only that, but this whole thing started over something that will be free to people that buy that Blu-Ray, and probably $1-$2 for everyone else......
 
My personal reason for purchasing the 360 version is the vastly superior Internet service -- plus I'm not restricted to that wretched Bluetooth without spending more money for better 'phones. The overall online package is inarguably superior -- likely the only thing that is -- on the 360, and that is the key component for Mortal Kombat. I compare it to going to the "dead" arcade where none of your friends went, or playing with your pals at the lively arcade at the good mall. The general consensus among my multi-console friends is that if the game relies heavily on online play, it's an easy lock for the 360. Plus, party chat. Good times.

And I guarantee you there are more folks excited about Kratos than not. You're basing this on the consensus around these parts, which is definitely lopsided, but this is a game that will sell millions of copies -- millions of which will wind up in the hands of casual fans who likely call Baraka "Edward Scissorhands." My point is, if you went to a Steelers blog and asked how many people thought the Steelers will win the Super Bowl, 80-90% would back their team despite 60% of the general population thinking they haven't a chance.

As for facts, we won't know until it comes out and the sales numbers are in a year later, but Soul Calibur II sold more on the ultimate anti-fighter console, the Nintendo GameCube, because it featured Link from the Legend of Zelda. We can all agree the PS2 was a friendlier console for fighters, yet it was narrowly defeated by an incredibly crude fighter's platform. Here is a sales chart: http://cube.ign.com/articles/475/475106p1.html

And that's my two cents. Don't care which console you prefer, personally; I like online games for my 360 and single-player experiences for my PS3.

That's my view on this, and I don't get the system fanboy wars. This free costume is for people who were going to buy one of the movies anyway. Everyone else (including XBox 360 owners) will very, very likely be able to buy it on the online store when it's available.

About the actual costume, I think it would be her MK2 costume, since her UMK3 one is much more similar to her normal MK9 costume.

Can't wait to see it. What I like most about this news, is that now it's likely that Mileena and Kitana will have their original costumes as well, to buy as DLC. I though it would be only the male ninjas with retro costumes, but now it opens it up for everyone else (MK1 L. Kang, Raiden, and Kano, etc) to get their own too.
 
Still no reply from the PR who sent me the information, guys. Sorry. Still trying to track down a render, but my contacts are getting me nowhere.
