Good God, the $80 special edition of Street Fighter IV is absolutely tremendous. You get the game itself, a “limited edition,” that is, not sold anywhere else, figurine (Ryu in the PS3 version, C. Viper in the Xbox 360), a 65-minute anime movie called Street Fighter IV: The Ties That Bind (Blu-ray for the PS3, and a special 360-only disc that contains the movie in 720p for the Xbox 360), a Prima mini strategy guide, a CD soundtrack and exclusive downloadable content (DLC) that Capcom refuses to reveal right now.
I think you’ll agree that this is one special edition that’s worth the extra $20. I mean, Blu-ray movies alone go for $30 a pop, so even if Capcom only included the game and the movie in the package it’d be a deal. But no, Capcom has gone above and beyond this time around. You’ll also notice that Ryu is on the cover of the box now, and not Chun-Li as was originally planned. If nothing else, Capcom knows how to please its fans.
It’s not even a question: I will be buying this special edition.

Xbox no ryu figure or blue ray movie that sux!
Give me ps3 pack with xbox game.
I for one think this is perfect. Kudos to Capcom USA for actually listening to their fans. PS3 owners get a Bluray of the anime, while Xbox 360 owners get an Xbox 360 disc that outputs the movie in 720p. Sure, they could have taken the lazy route and just handed out the movie on regular DVD, but Capcom deserves praise for taking the extra mile. Granted I would have prefered to have both figures (like the European CE) but overall I think North America gets the better package.
Very nice! This Ryu figure would sure stand nicely next to my Fallout 3 bubblehead.
