"Stress Test" Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix With Commando 3 Purchase
Ah, the exclusive demo pack-in. Metal Gear Solid 3's demo made Zone of the Enders an early star in the PS2's library, and just last year the Halo 3 beta turned Crackdown into a joke until people realized that the game was actually pretty good. Now, on a slightly smaller scale, Capcom has announced that Xbox Live Gold members who purchase Commando 3 on XBLA will be treated with an invite to the Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix stress test.
The content is basically a limited beta of the game that will allow players to control Ryu or Ken on one stage, and is basically a way for the creators to test out the network code. Players will have access to the test for about eight weeks, which should give players just enough to get completely sick of Ryu, Ken, and whichever damn stage they choose to include.
Not being any good at Street Fighter and only really being interested in one thing about the series, I doubt I'll spend 800 points ($10) on Commando 3. I'm sure it is excellent in its own regard but not my cup of tea. Plus, part of me thinks that if we're asked to basically do the company's job for them, they should be a little less stingy with the content they offer in the beta. Oh well.
Although the game has been announced for both Xbox Live Arcade and the Playstation Network, there's no word about a similar beta stress test on PSN.

Other stuff like this: beta, capcom, commando 3, microsoft, stress test, super street fighter II turbo hd remix, xbla, xbox 360
Sadly, until I can either hook up my X Arcade or my PS2 Saturn pads to my 360, I'll be getting SSFIITHD (wow...) on the PS3, so this beta wouldn't do me any good except to see how the graphics look.
wasnt it sons of liberty that came with zone of the enders?
....anyhoo, i cant wait to get the new street fighter II.....it looks downright sexy!
