Street Fighter IV collector's edition includes Blu-ray and Ryu figurine

by Alan Tsang { Dec 9th 2008 at 6:30PM }

We all know how it is -- game companies release different versions of the same game in hopes of enticing collectors into buying multiple versions. Capcom is doing the same for Street Fighter IV; but mere mortals like us can only afford one version. So which one do you choose?

Clearly, the superior version is the PS3 one. It comes with a Ryu figurine (instead of uh, Crimson Viper), a CD soundtrack, a Blu-ray disc (instead of a "game disc," which presumably can only be played on the 360) with the full anime movie and promotional trailers, a Prima hint book with illustrations by Udon and access to some unspecified downloadable content. Finally, if you pre-order from GameStop, you'll also receive a Ryu headband.

And for once, we can all be jealous of Europe: their collector's edition includes both figurines.

Crimson Viper has boobs, Ryu not as much, I'd say Crimson Viper wins. Btw, how much is this?

Valr @ Dec 9th 2008 7:17PM

But Crimson looks like a dyke.. I'd rather have a Chun Li or Cammy figure than either of those :(.

Neil @ Dec 9th 2008 7:32PM

If the boobs on a 6" plastic woman does it for you then yes I guess Crimson Viper is a great item....to each his own I guess. :P

"a Blu-ray disc (instead of a "game disc," which presumably can only be played on the 360) "

Umm.. i think you've made a mistake there mr Tsang

Alan Tsang @ Dec 10th 2008 2:04PM

How did I make a mistake?

Jared @ Dec 10th 2008 7:22PM

Oh. I just thought it was a childish knock on the 360 for the its own sake.

Grow up.

stargateheaven @ Dec 11th 2008 8:53AM

I thought you said that 360 instead of PS3, thats all.. I thought you said only 360 can play blu ray.. but just my mistake.

does anyone know what movie will be included?

Neil @ Dec 9th 2008 8:48PM

I think they said it was an original anima made just for the debut of SF4.

Mike @ Dec 9th 2008 8:27PM

AWW CMON i woulda got it if there was like a plastic haduken missile or something THey shoulda had guile and ryu with action missles

Alex @ Dec 9th 2008 8:51PM

hmm... i contest the PS3 version being superior as i would much rather have a crimson viper figurine.

but i'm getting this game for PS3 first... collector's edition.
i thought about it... and even though i feel the collector's edition for the PS3 isn't the best of the two, i'ma get this one.

however, if i find out that Evolution 2009 will hold SFIV on the XBox 360... i'ma have to buy the 360 version. unless i can get confirmation from other players that the 360, PS3, and arcade versions run in perfect sync. but that can take a few months for people to be totally sure.

Deadpool @ Dec 9th 2008 9:03PM

I'd rather have a fighting joystick instead of the figures...but that's just me. :/

Deadpool @ Dec 9th 2008 9:58PM

[edit]

What the heck, I got a Dreamcast just for Street Fighter III, so I might as well get the collectors edition.

[You Rock!]

Who said that?! o_o

aRcane @ Dec 9th 2008 10:28PM

i want that headband! lol

EvilErnie @ Dec 10th 2008 12:28AM

Is there an arcade stick edition?

Think Adrian @ Dec 10th 2008 2:16AM

what's so special about Crimsin Viper??

RazLeBoL @ Dec 10th 2008 9:20AM

It's just a new character. She looks pretty fun to play.

Joshb79 @ Dec 10th 2008 9:48AM

ARE YOU KIDDING ME! What self respecting Street Fighter fan would want Crimson Viper over Ryu. You know Ryu? The classic? The 1.0? HELLO!?! Their is no way anyone can honestly say that PS3 is not getting the better end of this deal. If it were Ryu with the Xbox version I'd say it were the better. But that's not the case, so suck it!
