Shack PSA: Street Fighter 4 Pre-Order Savings
by Alice O'Connor, Jul 01, 2009 9:41am PDTStreet Fighter IV for PC is now available for pre-order with a 10% discount on digital distributors Steam and Impulse, bringing Capcom's fighter down to $35.99.
Street Fighter IV PC is released on July 7, packing several new graphical filter effects and Games for Windows Live support to give achievements, online play and rankings.
Combatants curious as to how Street Fighter IV will run on their PC can test its might with the excellent SF4 benchmark tool, featuring several AI-controlled matches.
