The Collector’s Package will be released alongside the regular edition for PS3 and Xbox 360 in Japan on April 28th for a price of 5990 yen (~$66USD) and is slated to include a disc with the various character’s background music, all promotional videos and trailers for the game, character art, and a mini story for SSFIV.

Buyers of the Xbox 360 release will also receive an exclusive SSFIV Anime by director Kizaki (of Afro Samurai fame) animated by GONZO.

There is one more bonus “to be announced”.

As a thank you to early adopters, a classic costume pack will be made available free for download from the release date until July 1st. After that you will have to pay (price yet to be determined) to download the pack.

This might be of interest to collectors who like to get their hands on extra goodies like this.

Detail on what it includes:

North American deets for the long-awaited Collector’s Edition! We’re not just throwing a craptacular “behind-the-scenes” video and “art book” with less images than you can find on any website into a cheesey tin box. Instead, we’re bringing you a gorgeous package that includes:

1. The game (duh)
2. A limited-edition (ie., not sold anywhere else) figurine – Ryu in the PS3 box, C. Viper hotness in the 360 flavor. Decisions, decisions…
3. Street Fighter IV: The Ties That Bind: a 65 minute anime movie — created by Studio 4C — that sets up the story of SFIV by explaining events post-SFII. BluRay disc in the PS3 box! The Xbox version is a 360 game disc that outputs the movie at 720P, not a DVD.
4. A mini-strategy guide from Prima, written by the same people doing the full-on guide and illustrated by Udon Comics
5. CD soundtrack. Rock SFIV stage chunez in your car!
6. …Plus some secret additional downloadable content that we’re not quite ready to reveal at this point. Look for more announcements soon!

All this wrapped up nicely in a box that features Ikeno-san’s instant classic illustration of Ryu, with images of the other characters on the sides.

The Collector’s Edition for Xbox 360 or PS3 will include a bonus disc with a 65-minute full-length Anime movie and promotional trailers; a CD soundtrack; a collectible Ryu figurine for the PS3 edition; a collectible C. Viper figurine for the Xbox 360 edition; a Udon/Prima Hint book; and 5 downloadable costumes. Ships February 17.
