Well, this is turning out to be a quiet Bank Holiday, isn't it? It seems that publishers have waited until today to outline all of their despicable pre-order practices, and Street Fighter V is the latest to join the party. Capcom has outlined a slew of goodies that will be up for grabs if you register your interest in the forthcoming PlayStation 4 exclusive brawler at four major retailers in the US, with GameStop securing a bearded Ryu, Best Buy nabbing a goggled Cammy, Amazon netting a greying M. Bison, and the PlayStation Store landing a leggy Chun-Li.
But that's not all: the Japanese publisher has also revealed the title's $99.99 collector's edition, which comes with a 10-inch Ryu statue – of course – as well as a 48-page art book, some digital comic book content, a soundtrack sampler, and a one month subscription to the Capcom Fighters Channel on Twitch. If that last one sounds a little lame, we should probably stress that everyone who purchases the game will get it, so it's not exclusive to the release's bumper bundle.
Hopefully all of these costumes will be available separately, because limiting them to specific retailers seems a bit shady to us. Then again, this is on a day where Square Enix has revealed tiered unlocks for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided pre-orders. Pretty disgusting all around, really.

Chun-Li and Cammy look great!
@LukeNI Yeah, I like all of the costumes actually. Just a shame you have to jump through hoops to get them. :sad:
@get2sammyb I totally agree. Here's hoping each costume will eventually become available to everyone like you stated above.
SFV may be all about playing to unlock new characters but obtaining costumes will be no different than SFIV I'm sure. Great!
And... I think Ryu looks like Joel from The Last of Us.
This is the kind of dlc distribution I hate the most as I normally like several across multiple retailers. Well hopefully the costumes become available after.
@LukeNI Agreed. His hand wraps are greenish, so maybe that's what's left of his shirt. That actually makes me want to play Ryu.
I do hope that we'll get the costumes eventually. That Chun is outfit making me dizzy Heck, why aren't they all in the CE, like these bonuses usually are?
Good Lord at Chun-Li
Hard not to like the new getups for the girls. Not only that, but their new hairstyles are certainly welcome as well.
@LukeNI I agree!
@get2sammyb Same here, not fan of retailer exclusive content but knowing Capcom they eventually sell these outfits through PlayStation Store. I'm also hoping they'll bundle these outfits together at a cheaper price.
The Deus Ex thing is ok in my book. In fact I think it's brilliant to be perfectly honest.
But this? This is frustrating because you have to buy four copies of the game in order to get the four costumes.
Thankfully for me, The only one that I'd be interested in is that Cammy, and it just so happens I order all my games through Best Buy anyways for the 20% discount. So I'm good.
Although I wouldn't mind having the others, especially the bearded Ryu. Hopefully they will put them up for sale
EDIT: And gosh dang Chun Li has some thick thies in this game lol
holy crap!! Ryu looks d*** sexy. Chun Li's also looking pretty good (those thighs!!). I think I might have to just buy a PS4.
(o.o )
ive been waiting for a bearded ryu since forever! they better release these later. chun/cammys are good too. like chun li' hair
@JaxonH
This a PS4 exclusive so we can look over nonsense like retailer exclusive DLC.
@Gamer83
I'm calloused and thick skinned to this sort of thing now tbh.
Not that that's a good thing but...
Nice costumes, don't like that you have to get them through different retails though. I think DOA5 LR did the same thing, that kinda bugs me.
Guess I'll be getting bearded Ryu since I only buy my games at gamestop; although if Chun-Li becomes psn available I would totally shell out a couple bucks.
Anyone wanna try and trade a chunli dlc for my ryu dlc?
I don't really use ryu, and all I want is chunli's gear.
Hello there Ryu!
And Chun li is so sexy as well.
