Thats a lot of shit right there...

Capcom has just announced details of a lavish box set to celebrate the 25th anniversary of its Street Fighter series.
Available for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 from 18th September, it includes the following swag:

• Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix
• Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike Online Edition
• Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition (with all costume DLC)
• Street Fighter X Tekken (including all character and Swap Costume DLC)

PSU called this a while back, Don went to some event (don't ask me which, maybe it was PAX but i'm not sure -- he'd clarify this) and overheard a Capcom PR chap mentioning the Street Fighter 25th Anniversary bundle, or something to that description. Sure enough, here it is.

Anyway, that's a massive bundle and if I was a big follower of the series (which i'm not), i'd snap it up. Then again, this might be just the ticket I need to get into the franchise.

Edit -- Ah, I was right, it was PAX:
