A pretty interesting read, and something that many people should consider. I still have reservations about the system myself (especially with gem DLC not only being confirmed, but also being split into multiple preorder bonuses), but some very good points are made here.
Also, leaked DLC characters:

So really, if there's anything to get immediately all up ons about, it's pre-planned DLC characters!
I'm still cautiously optimistic about this game, but I have faith in Capcom wanting to deliver a good product to its customers.
