Developed by Capcom, Street Fighter IV hits PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on February 17, with a PC version due out later on. In addition, GameStop is offering an "exclusive headband like the one worn by martial arts master Ryu" as a pre-order incentive.

The Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions will launch on the same day.
Offering a whole lot of characters, the fighter will arrive on European shores in the same week, on February 20.
A PC version is still in the works, but will be released at a later time following Capcom's recent policy of delaying PC releases to fight piracy.
Street Fighter IV was released in Japanese arcades in summer 2008, but was never officially exported from its home country before now. A handful of anxious fans imported "gray market" machines into arcades in Western countries as Capcom looked the other way.
The image, reportedly a photograph taken at the N.E.X.T. consumer expo in Belgium, was featured on the Shoryuken fighting game forums and picked up by gaming blog Kotaku.
25 characters are shown on screen, with a question mark-filled space saved for those who want to play with a random character. Second from the left on the bottom row is believed to be Rose from Street Fighter Alpha.
If Capcom confirms the legitimacy of the image and the inclusion of Rose, she would be the latest character to join the ever-expanding ranks of console-exclusive fighters in Street Fighter IV. Recently, Fei Long, Dan, Cammy, and Gen were premiered, prompting Shacknews editor Chris Faylor to call Fei Long a misogynist.
The increasingly-complex console version of Street Fighter IV will hit Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in February with a PC port following later.

Original Story: Capcom's Street Fighter IV will indeed make its promised release of "this winter," but only just: the highly anticipated fighter sequel will hit Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in February of next year.
Capcom's official Japanese Street Fighter IV site pegs the 360 and PS3 versions as coming out in February of 2009, but an exact release date has not been given.
Meanwhile, UK gaming site MCV claims to have obtained the publisher's release list for Q1 2009, which shows Street Fighter IV in the week of February 15.
As expected, the PC release of the classic fighting revival will come sometime after the February release.
"[A] PC version is in the works, but will come post-console release," the company told IGN. "'Winter' is the only timing we've given as of yet for console release."
The console-first, PC-later strategy is nothing new to Capcom. Both Lost Planet: Extreme Condition and Devil May Cry 4 debuted on consoles roughly 5-6 months before the PC edition arrived. While a PC release of Resident Evil 5 has not yet been confirmed, many expect a PC version to follow its March 13 arrival on consoles.
Street Fighter IV is expected to be released on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC platforms.
Added the Capcom developer: "At some point you'll be sitting in you winter coat looking at snow out the window... and right then we'll kind of heat you up a little with some hot street fighter action."
Street Fighter IV will hit the PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 sometime next year, but lucky arcade-goers in the States can find SF4 machines in certain cities.

The set-up: It all started with an April Fool's joke in the April 1992 issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly. It was the greatest April Fool's gag in the history of gaming journalism, and one that's remained in gaming lore since.
The trick: Beat the arcade version of Street Fighter II, using Ryu, without getting touched. Then survive ten rounds against M. Bison, without dealing or taking damage, and letting the time run out every time. After the tenth, Sheng Long--the supposed... Read more
"All major titles launched during the next fiscal year or thereafter will be developed as multi-platform games," reads Capcom's shareholder report for its fiscal year 2008, which ended on March 31 of this year.
Henceforth, Capcom will develop many of its games using its internal MT Framework technology, "an integrated development environment built to provide common development tools for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC platforms."
As a result, the company "will aim to increase revenue and dramatically increase the number of users by launching, for example, Resident Evil 5 ... Street Fighter IV ... and Bionic Commando [on multiple platforms]."
Capcom's strategy appears to already be in action. Aside from its work on MT Framework platforms, the zombie-smacking Xbox 360 action title Dead Rising is already getting some multi-console love, and several games including Street Fighter IV may be Wii-bound.
"Following the launch of the arcade video game Street Fighter IV in Summer 2009, its Hollywood movie version Street Fighter is set to be released worldwide in February 2009," reads a portion of the company's Annual Report 2008.
The February release puts the movie in close proximity to the home versions of Street Fighter IV, which are slated to hit PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 by March 31, 2009.
Starring Kristin Kreuk, Michael Clark Duncan, Neal McDonough and more, the Chun Li-focused flick, which does not include Street Fighter regulars Ken or Ryu, was written by Justin Marks and helemed by Doom film director Andrzej Bartkowiak.
"I don't want to give an exclusive character for any particular console," elaborated Ono to VideoGamer.com, adding, "And that applies to downloadable characters as well ... because it's not very fair."
The revelation follows Project Soul's recent inclusion of platform-exclusive characters in Soul Calibur IV (PS3, 360).
