Kotaku are reporting that the street date for SFIV has been broken Australia wide and is now available from EB, GAME, JB Hi-Fi etc.

So if you've got it pre-ordered, go forth and pick up!

waiting for PC version :(

hah good luck... is TBC everywhere :(

CD Wow still shows it as 20/02 on PC, trying to email them & see if they're going to bring that forward in line with the broken street date..

:fingers crossed:

Anyone know if any of the EB's in brisbane city are selling it early as well?

Sif buy games from EB, go to JB HiFi.

can buy from EB for 7 days while waiting for cheap cdwow version, then get your money back from EB :)

Pre-ordered from JB online yesterday, as long as I get it before the weekend, it's all good.

I'll wait till its 50% in steam OH SNAP

is anyone getting the madcatz arcade stick? I would consider one if I was more of an arcade game fanatic but I cant justify 300 bucks for a controller

I've still got one of these puppies at home + a PS1 adapter:

Please report back their response cause i'm in the same boat (but for xbox360)

ah what?

wasn't their release date always 20/02/09? unless they meant to say that they DONT have a new release date...

That's what I thought too - except the way they put it makes it sound like it was a "revised" release date. go figure. Anyway, got the below in my inbox today. No SFIV for me this week, but at least I'll be getting it before June!

Thanks for your e-mail message.

This product was released in the UK yesterday but we will not receive stock into our warehouse until the 20th February. It then takes 24-48 hours for the item to be dispatched, as we need to unpack the shipment and prepare each individual order.

Sorry for the disappointment this may cause – we sincerely appreciate you visiting our site and hope you will return again in the future.

picked it up from JB-Hifi Carindale yesterday for $99, they said over the phone they had heaps in stock. Only reason I know that it was out cause I rang EB yesterday to pre-book it, and they said that it's already out, I was like wtf! They said they had one copy left of the limited edition one for $169, f*** that. Played a couple rounds of it, f***ing orgasmic game.

:,(

So does anyone have any advice on a good arcade stick to buy to play this (and other) games? Its something I've been thinking about getting for a while, but now that I'm playing some Streetfighter 4 its been pushed up from "desireable" to "necessary" because the xbox pad is absolutely horrendous to play with.

Anyone got any suggestions? I've done a bit of reading and found a few I like the sound of, accross a few different price ranges, but some trusted QGL opinions on the subject would be handy to have :P

It'd be really awesome if there was somewhere in Australia I could get them from too. After a bit of looking, there really doesn't seem to be much on offer locally, which means ordering from somewhere like Play Asia and having to deal with our crappy exchange rate, as well as pay heaps of postage and have to wait :(

MOTHERf***ERS!!!!!!

8/5 09 hey.... f*** yer, sounds like ill b canceling that s***.

That's the PC version only though - The 360/PS3 copies should be shipping as per normal.

y would u want street fighter for pc?

Because I don't have a 360/ps3?

oh :( i was gonna say how is ur computer monitor better than ur tv :P

maybe u will soon when u get the 900$ bonus :P

Well, my monitor does support 1080i ;)


mmm.. True, however wife will divorce me if another console enters the house however!

throw out the dreamcast and upgrade ;)

That's the problem - I'd have to throw out the DC, Wii, N64, SNES, NES, PSP, DS, XBOX, PS2...... you get the idea

sifnt have a high spec media pc hooked up to your tv with better controllers than the ps3 / 360 have...

thats why i wanted on PC. Getting on PS3 now for the next few months due to PC release date retardation :(

sifnt have a high spec media pc hooked up to your tv with better controllers than the ps3 / 360 have...

That my plan... buy a decent Media Centre PC to play Blu ray, IPTV, Internet Radio etc... have wicked street fighter 4 combat!

So who else got a hold of this and has been playing it? Finally got Seth unlocked after a long slog.

yeah been giving my ps3 gamepad a real workout, can't get past abel on normal lol, f***er just grabs and slams me into the ground everytime he gets close to me, so annoying. I know I suck but was never into original street fighter games, was heavily into Mortal Kombat 2/3... gimme some more prac and I'll get there, but f*** do I need an arcade stick, game will improve immensely!!

You'll be hard pressed to find the Madcatz TE arcade stick anywhere overseas, let alone Australia. Apparently they've only made 3000 and they've been selling like a $2 hookah.

I prolly just end up getting the standard control stick from cdwow for 160, only thing is it doesn't really look that sturdy and I definatly want the fuker to be durable cause i'll be giving it a good workout.

i wish the arcarde sticks werent so f***in expensive :(

While they're f***ing expensive, the Hori Real Arcade Pro sticks are still the best sticks you're going to buy.

300 for a peripheral is a bit much if u ask me... maybe its cause im not made of chinese white gold, like urself.

You could always buy a cheap wired pad, and hack it apart to make your own arcade stick.

By the way, what's everyone fav characters so far? from the several bashes i've had at the arcades i'd say Ken (that's a given) and Sagat but i'm looking forward to using fei long.

My lil asian brother is off the hook!:

Looks like it going to be Street Fighter overload this weekend for peepz with PS3's. My copy shipped today so should get it tomorrow but also, just came across this, it's about time SFII HD hit PSN.

By the way, what's everyone fav characters so far?

there is only ken

just came across this, it's about time SFII HD hit PSN.

What's the point? everyone is going to be on sf4. Too lil too late.

How long do cdwow orders usually take to arrive? I am going to order sf4 and dow2 on monday.

Can't you buy a whole aracade machine for 300?

Kathleen how much did your balding husband spend making his machine?

1-2 weeks.

Sagat is a dirty c*** of a player just quietly. PLayed it for 10 mins, now I'm over it.

I'll give you $35 for it.
