Capcom have confirmed to IGN that Street Fighter IV will be releasing this winter (our summer). What it is interesting is that the PC version is only going to be released after the console version. Now, is this only because they will need to port it over to the PC (Don't they have a "export from Xbox 360 to PC" button?), or is it because they are pulling an EndWar maneuver and releasing it later to avoid piracy. We have no confirmation as yet but will follow up when we hear more.

That's right, they are all DLC that should have been free. Ever since Soul Calibur IV was released with it's exclusive Star Wars characters (Vader for PS3 and Yoda for Xbox 360) there have been rumours that they would become available on the other systems as DLC. Those rumours have finally been put to rest now that it has been announced that the characters will be made available, for a price, of course. You will be looking at 400 MS points on Live and around a R45 on PSN. Considering that most fans of the Soul Calibur franchise think that the Star Wars characters are abominations and an insult to the game, I can't say that I think that they will be pleased to be spending extra money to get one extra out-of-place character. As I have mentioned before, I am a huge fan of Star Wars. Not only that but SCIV is the first fighting game that I have enjoyed in ages, especially with it's online multiplayer. So I am a perfect gamer to target for this DLC and you know what? I can't be bothered.
