That bust is pretty ugly. But good to see they are giving out better pre-order bonuses.

Well, it looks like I'm going to be pre-ordering, as that is awesome looking.

the paint job on the bust is kinda strange, ryu has a strong yellow feeling to him, but its prolly just the pic.
i love when companies offer something creative like this, rather than a t-shirt size XL only or an artbook with 4 pages Xop

That looks more akin to dog poo than a quality preorder item.

Can I do this B&M so I don't have to actually buy the game?

Hate to semi-hijack this thread but Gamestop is giving away SF T-Shirts with pre-order. "This high quality T-Shirt will let you show off just how much of a Street Fighter you really are!"

They do it instores atleast with doom they did when you preordered. A friend of mine did when he preordered doom 3 instores they gave him the bust. Either way i preordered this a month ago so hopefully i will get the bust when i pick it up!

Yeah I know... it's a crappy picture. I thought it looked like King of Fighters at first. I zoomed in using Photoshop and now I'm about 82% sure that's a SF shirt. :?

A statue of roughly the chest up on a character.

Wait a minute...1/11/2005? Man these ports shouldn't take this long.

Maybe the delay comes from adding in the Xbox Live content?

How tall you think the bust is? The Doom figures were madd small.

Those controllers are VERY close to the ACII controllers from a few years past. I'm grabbing one for sure!
The bust is part of a series released in Japan by figuAx (other company names on the box: Capcom, A-Toys, F.Toys). There are six figures (Ryu, Chun-li, Honda, Vega (Balrog in Japan), Makoto and Akuma (Gouki in Japan)). There are two versions of each with different paint schemes. The bonus item is the Player 2 Ryu. The original figures come in individual boxes with gummy candy. They are unassembled and stand about 3 inches tall.

If anyone could find a better pic of the shirt i'd appreciate it, that's probably the only pic there is though

im in on the shirt :D
There are 4 different release dates between the 2 sites for all the versions. It seems the PS2 version will be out first (later this month), but has no online support. The Xbox has a date of October on Gamestop, January (wtf?) on EB and "winter" on Capcom's site which very well could be January...
All this aside, WTF is with the ass cover art for the Xbox version? I see a black version on EB, white on Gamestop but both feature -zero- artwork. I'm hoping this isn't final (juding by the inconsistent covers noted) as I think the PS2 version cover is great, and in some way, is a selling point to me. I imported all my Capcom fighters for the Saturn because typically the US versions had butchered art (and music in some cases). Anyone remember the SFAlpha PS1 cover? Yeah...
I bought the Hyper SF2 poster from NCSX because I thought the artwork was so great and is the same artwork that's on the PS2 cover currently- it would be a shame if the art didn't adorn the Xbox version as well. It's already a shame that it's coming out so long after the PS2 version... but Live play will be worth it since I can play my smack talkin' friends who now live too far away. SF2:Hyper Fighting Ken will rule -all-

^ That ebay auction has some real good pics of the shirt if you guys are interested. I'm sold on the shirt, myself.

To me the shirt just looks like a banner someone made and ironed onto generic black t-shirt... a lot of video game preorder shirts are like that...
