Trying to keep up with all the new, HOT Street Fighter news. Capcom's Blog just posted info on the new box art for the US and the "official" contents of the collector’s edition. First off, the new box art. I think most people have seen the first version of the box art. It was all right and I admire Capcom for using Chun Li as the focal point but the design was lacking energy to me. It wasn't getting me hyped to play the game. (Although the cover could be plain white with SF4 written in crayon and I would still be hyped) Here is the old

And now for the new

I love that they used forever rivals Ryu and Ken for the new cover. It’s also WAY more dynamic and eye-catching. I can see this creating a lot of energy at your local Gamestop with it plastered all over the racks. I also love how the design draws your eyes to the SF logo in the middle of the cover. Good stuff.

 And now the collector’s edition. The CE will run $79.99 and contain the following:

 The Game
Limited Edition figurine (PS3 owners get Ryu and 360 peeps get C. Viper which is lame...I want Ryu :( )
Street Fighter 4: The Ties That Bind anime movie. It runs 65 min and PS3 owners get it on Blu-Ray and 360 gets a disc that will play a 720p version of the movie and its not a DVD. Maybe its something you download to your box.
A mini strategy guide drawn by Udon. Udon is the creative team that gave HD Remix its updated look
A CD soundtrack. ROCK!
Plus exclusive downloads for new costumes. Hopefully it’s some of the cool ones I've seen like Boxers awesome Apollo Creed get-up

Here are the awesome pics
