Due out on March 8, Street Fighter X Tekken is set to settle the age-old argument of which fighting franchise has the superior fighters. With its release quickly coming up, Capcom's Aussie distributor--THQ--has formally detailed the preorder incentives that those who put money down on Street Fighter X Tekken early can expect to receive. As with previous preorder campaigns, the offers are tied to various retail chains, so you'll need to decide where you preorder carefully.

The Street Fighter X Tekken special edition comes with a money box so you can save up for Tekken X Street Fighter.

THQ and Capcom have teamed up with EB Games to offer the special edition of Street Fighter X Tekken exclusively through the specialist retailer. Selling for A$128, the limited edition includes a Street Fighter X Tekken arcade-cabinet-shaped money box, prequel comic, 45 power-up gems, and of course a copy of the game. Customers who opt to preorder the regular edition of Street Fighter X Tekken will also receive the 45 power-up gems.

Meanwhile JB Hi-Fi is giving away 60x90cm wall scrolls to customers who preorder Street Fighter X Tekken at its stores, and GAME is offering exclusive T-shirts featuring Ryu and Kazuya to its customers.

Street Fighter X Tekken was unveiled last year at Comic-Con 2010 by Street Fighter series creator Yoshinori Ono and Tekken founder Katsuhiro Harada. While this entry will feature Street Fighter-like play style that involves ranged attacks, Namco Bandai is also working on a Tekken X Street Fighter, however little is known about the latter title.
