Darth Vader and Yoda downloadable characters coming to Soul Calibur 4 on October 23

The good news: Namco Bandai have announced that come October 23th, 2008, both Darth Vader and Yoda will become downloadable characters to fill up that empty spot in your Soul Calibur 4 characters roster.

The bad news: The downloadable content will cost you 400 Microsoft Points ($5.00) for Darth Vader on Xbox 360 and $4.99 for Yoda on PlayStation 3.

what a rip off, especially as the ‘other character’ is already on the disc!

I think they should include it as a free download…why would anyone want to spend $5.00 for a one character download. Come on game companies!!! Don’t you know it’s hard out here for a gamer during these rough times!!

Okay why would i want to download Darth Vader for my 360 for 5 bucks when it dont include more achievements i could use for him. also if i want a human sized “vader” we got the apprentice dude on there just as good as any vader. and why isnt the price the same for both systems? i know its only a penny but its not really right.

OK THEN..
so ya tellin me that we gna have to pay an extra 5$/£ on top of the £40 the game costs, just to get a character that i couldnt care less about.
Fair enough, it wud b nice to play as vader to see what his move set is like, but no way is vader, or any character worth paying extra for.
I’d rather just make a created character and call it vader. that way its moves are guarenteed to be better thant the official one.

Everyone here is saying the truth. IM not going to pay $4.99 just to play as yoda, its not too much money but its unfair. If the company even cares too look at a forum about this theme, then they would realize the error they’ve made.
