I'm going for the PC version on Steam. Free online and I can use my Xbox 360 stick.

PS4 and physical. Mainly because it is a helluva lot cheaper to buy physical than digital.
Seeing the prices of the PC version kinda hurt ;-;

Buy one and wait for sale for the other. It's gonna happen.

PC version when I can get it for around $40. Steam only, so even if I get physical I'm getting digital.

Cdkeys has it for $30PC version when I can get it for around $40. Steam only, so even if I get physical I'm getting digital.
Initially I had the collectors edition preordered, then I downgraded to standard edition physical through Amazon, and now I'm most likely going to switch that to digital (on both PC and ps4).
The more I thought about it, the less it made sense to buy a fighter like sfv on disc since the constant updates would make what was on the disc outdated really quickly. Plus, you always want your fighters loaded up and ready to play.

Physical PS4 CE, but I will probably pickup the digital version at some point during a sale.

I'm getting the CE PS4 version at launch and will probably get the PC version when it gets cheaper.

Is preordering the only way to get the costumes for free?

Digital on steam.
Even if I was on PS4 I'd probably go digital. This is the kind of game I'm always going to want on my harddrive. Plus, this is going to be a game that gets updated and changed a whole lot over its lifetime anyway.

Canadian getting screwed by exchange rate so physical PS4 is by far the cheapest option for me due to a preorder discount. Season pass is $10 cheaper on PS4 than PC for some reason.
I have a PC that can easily run it, but my roommate already has it on PC (I'm lending him my old HRAP VX SA). The beta did look great on his 1440p 144hz and almost made me change my mind. But I like the idea of having both versions, also we're moving to an actual house soon and it'll be nice setting it up in the living room to play on the couch.

Know they're going to get it twice, and want to spend money on the version less likely to have a steam sale.

The only that sucks is that your Capcom profile doesn't carry over.
Meaning, you can use the same capcom profile for both versions--but you will need to rank up separately.
That's a small bummer for me since it already has cross platform play. Grinding it out again seems weird.

Digital
- Game won't be leaving my system
- Base filesize is relatively small
- There will be so many patches/post launch downloads anyways that I feel like the convenience of disc is negated
- Free theme!
- I like the Chun costume over the others (I'll be playing Cammy but I don't care for her Jak costume)
- Play as soon as it's available!
Only negative is that I really like the coverart so I'd like to have the box, but whatever. That steelbook is awesome

I'm waiting for file size info before I go digital.
I got the PS4 version retail because of the Amazon Prime deal so it's $48. Also, I don't like buying too many digital games on PS4 mainly because I've noticed the PS4 HDD fills up awful quickly (otherwise I don't really care).
Going with PS4 because I vastly prefer playing fighting games on a couch as opposed to a desk and while I like Steam In-Home Streaming I don't trust it for a game as lag-sensitive as SF.

This. If it goes on sale or joins PS+ then maybe I'll grab it there and sell the disc, but for now I'll stick with physical.
Well, going physical doesn't save you any HDD space as all games are fully installed regardless of whether they are digital or physical. You can save internet bandwidth though if you are capped.
Same. I'd prefer digital because I don't want to search for the game amongst the kids Disney Infinity cases, but I can't day no to $30 off Canadian retail prices.

Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.
Call me when the Complete Edition releases, with a full story mode and all DLC characters included on disc.
