Yes, there will be pre-order bonuses for SSFIV photo

If you're confident Capcom is doing Super Street Fighter IV right, then it might be time to pre-order. Moons and moons ago, Capcom-Unity have revealed that Best Buy and Amazon.com pre-sells will net each potential consumer with a "timed-exclusive" downloadable "Super Classic Costume" pack that has extra dudes for Dhalsim, Guile, Blanka, Gen and the mighty Fei Long. GameStop, on the other hand, will be carrying exclusive "Finger Thumb Fighter" packs featuring other SF greats.

No word on when the costume DLC will hit for the masses, but we're pretty sure the thumb fighter things are a one-shot deal. Hit the respective retailer of your choice for the bonus and check out GamesRadar if you're interested in what the hell these alternates look like. For the record, we're down with Fei Long's.

The costumes are definitely neat, but you know it will be a long line of more DLC costumes. The finger fighters look stupid, though, so I guess the costume pack is better.

I'm really starting to get sick of preorder bonuses.

I don't usually preorder games, but I do kind of want to play as Blanka in a pink karate outfit.

I'd much rather prefer what Europe gets.

My pre-order was already sold at Ibuki and Makoto's confirmation. A full batch of alternate costumes, and THUMB FIGHTERS? Sign me up for 20.

There once was a gamer who loved freebies.
However, getting a chunk of his cash was not easy.
They offer exclusives.
Some claim that it's stupid.
No one said corporations weren't sleazy.

They'll be on the disc, just like all the extra costumes were on the SF4 disc. Im sick of this bullshit. I miss the days when I couldbuy a game and get the WHOLE GAME, not most of the game.

you ARE getting the whole game for the retail price. costumes are just extra fluff that add nothing to gameplay, and that some people are willing to pay for. I know it's annoying but it wouldn't really be that much different if they were releasing them six months after the game.

I thought they at one point said there would be no stupid costume DLC for SSF4? That it would all be in the game for everyone? Sigh.........!

I never pre-ordered from Amazon before, but I'm going to have to with this one. Thumb warmers? That's just lame. Extra DLC is much better.

Have they said what players who purchased SFIV prior to SSFIV are getting? I don't know if this has been answered yet, or if they are getting nothing...

The players who bought SF4 got the pleasure of the title tune. You want more?
On a serious note, I too would like to know if I get anything for being a sucker for every iteration.

Capcom still hasn't announced the pre-order bonus from pre-ordering from the Capcom store itself. I'd wait...it's bound to be good.
