Previously, the box art for the NA release of Street Fighter IV featured (http://www.evilavatar.com/forums/showthread.php?t=65103) that thunder thigh lady Chun-Li with Ryu and Ken underneath dukeing it out. Now however, after listening to fans and hearing a ton of feedback, Capcom has decided that they'd rather focus on favorites Ryu and Ken.

Additionally, the Collector's Edition previously thought to contain both figures of both Ryu and C. Viper, has been confirmed to only contain one per platform. Ryu will be in the PS3 version's CE, while C. Viper in the 360 version.

what cha' think?

Ryu's eye really annoys me, its as if he is looking past or through Ken. This is not acceptable, they must make eye contact!

[Ozena]

That's still some cool box art. I really liked the Chun Li version, but this is just as good.

Sucks the figures are "split" across the platforms. Why not Ken or Chun Li in C. Viper's place? I'm going to try and learn her though, she seems like a good addition.

Edit: Also, the movie being on a 360 disc kind of sucks, but I guess that's the best option we have.

I'm disappointed that 360 owners don't get an established character like Ken for their figurine. I mean, especially with the box art and all, Ryu/Ken figurines just makes more sense.

[ElektroDragon]

The 360 figurine is lame... I might pass.

[ShankTheChicken]

Wow, a Ryu figurine? This is the first time I've ever been interested in CE content.

[LiveRatavar]

This sucks i wanted the Ryu figure not some new unknow chick, also why does it have to be 360 disk for the movie now im forced only see it on my 360.

Simple really, its because its in HD and they weren't going to include a BluRay disc in the package for the non-BR console.

When it comes down to it I am not really interested in box art. Its not as if I sit at home staring at the box cover when I could be playing the game, I know I am a Philistine but I just don't get excited over it.

Much like albums, its just part of the whole experience for me. It's why I don't buy used very often; I like having the box and manual.

I picked up NBA Homecourt a while ago from Toys R Us in New Jersey when I was staying with a friend for the NCAA Elite 8. Because they had it sealed in a case behind the counter, I didn't get to hold it... so they picked it out of the case, rang me up, put it in a bag, and sent me on my merry way.

We drove back to the apartment to play, and when I got there I was pretty pissed off to find that it must have been one of the 'top copies' in the shipping box, where some overzealous stock boy had cut the box open with their box cutter, slicing the cover down the middle.

Basically, I wasn't happy that even though it was kind of a spur of the moment purchase for me, that the case, while 'new' wasn't pristine. I'm not sure what the point of my story is exactly... other than I like my boxes clean and pretty.

I always ask for a sealed copy, and never buy used - with the exception of games from past gens - because I love to keep everything in perfect condition and don't like that to be ruined for me by the workers/customers at the store by being sold an opened copy. I'm the except same with DVDs.

I'd be just as ripshit pissed as you were, for sure. I'm one of those guys who'll grab the third or fourth DVD/book/whatever from the front in an effort to get an item that was handled the least. If anyone is going to cause any wear, tear or minor damage to something, I want it to be me through general use.

from what i remember, 720p is already a dvd ... why is it a 360 disk if its only 720p?

[morose]

720p is 1280x720. DVDs are generally 720x480.
