It's no longer a rumor, Darth Vader will in fact be coming to a SoulCalibur IV near you. Though, for a price.
On Thursday, October 23rd, the once Playstation 3 exclusive SoulCalibur IV Vader character will be available for purchase off the Xbox Live Marketplace. Purchasable for 400 Microsoft points. Yes, we'll admit, $5 for Vader is a bit expensive, but when you look at what you're getting in terms of getting the chance to pit Yoda against Vader in an epic SoulCalibur IV battle of awesomeness. Well, then it doesn't seem too bad. But we must ask, where's our unlockable Jar Jar Binks?

No no no no and no again. That is straight Bull! 5 dollars to unlock a character that's already on the disc? As much as I like the Soul Calibur series, I'm somewhat glad that I didn't buy this one.

Strewth, 400mp is a bit strong. But I guess I'll spring for it anyway. >.

not as bad as horse armor or anime kids on your F-16 since it actually gives you a full working character with unique moves. BUT it is a pile of bull nonetheless.

I like the way you make it sound like a Microsoft victory rather than it just being Namco Bandai seeing DOLLAR SIGNS.

Darth Vader has been on the retail disc since launch. The 360 hackers proved it in video footage, back when the game launched.
Namco are making people pay to unlock the content thats already there...
tsk tsk

Namco claims that fans demanded this, like it was never in their plans to. well, the fans did want Namco to stop BSing and unlock the coding written on the disc since it's factory conception.

i agree Revan would have been cooler and a different story.., and if they gave him the single or dual weapon style of all the create a character fighting styles they completely ommited that were there in SC III THAT would be worth 5$ but not this bullshit about something thats already on the disc. A big middle finger for you NAMCO BANDAI
