While many fans have been enjoying Ultra Street Fighter IV on consoles via PSN and Xbox Live I personally have been waiting for a retail copy. In speaking with other fans of the series I found I was not alone in waiting for a retail version and I am happy to report that you can pick up a retail copy in stores today. The MSRP is $39.99 and will give you all 44 characters plus all the previously release costumes from prior Street Fighter 4 versions. Who else is picking this up today?
