Japanese readers, circle it on your calendars in your reddest pen. Anyone outside Japan with a few grand to blow, you've got a date to book your flights to Narita International. Because Capcom has announced that Street Fighter IV will be rolling out to Japanese arcades on July 18. That's less than a month! If you're not Japanese, hey, chin up, kid. Don't let it get you down. Because for Americans, it'll also be available to play at Comic-Con on July 24-27 (Europeans, you're already taken care of)

「稼働日発表！」　プロジェクトマネージャー：塩沢夏希 [SFIV Blog]

The San Diego Comic-Con is just weeks away! We can't wait! We'd wager that you can't either, considering how spectacular our coverage of last year's show was. If you're planning on going—some days are already sold out!—you'd better make your plans and you'd better make it snappy, because these Halo bobbleheads aren't going to buy themselves.

According to the Bungie weekly update, the Halo developer's presence at Comic-Con 08 will be minimal. Microsoft reps will be in attendance, however, hyping up the next Halo novel and shilling Spartan and Master Chief bobbleheads. Bring cash. Lots.
