Capcom’s highly anticipated Street Fighter IV is coming to the Xbox 360, PlayStation3 and PC early next year. GameStop is offering a bonus headband for pre-ordering the game, and they are saying the game will ship on Feb. 3 - though I can’t seem to confirm that date with any other source.

What is official is the sweet box art for the the regular edition of the game (there’s also a collector’s edition). It features one of my favorite fighters, Chun-Li, who is also in the upcoming movie Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li. The movie stars Smallville’s Kristin Kreuk and is set to hit theaters on Feb. 27
