MS covers new data costs. Sony doesn’t.
In the PlayStation 3 version of stupendous fighting game Super Street Fighter IV you can’t see downloaded alternate costumes worn by your opponent if you haven’t downloaded them yourself. In the Xbox 360 version you can. Why?
According to Capcom, it’s down to Sony, which doesn’t cover the cost of making additional data available to users. Microsoft, on the other hand, does.
“The DLC for the newest costumes is additional data that must be put on your machines from the first-party networks (XBL and PSN),” community manager and fighting game legend Seth Killian wrote on Capcom’s forum.
