Online fighting games rock, in theory. I just need to find the online where everyone isnt better than me :(

Owned in the face!! I don't really care for the series (I'm a SoulCalibur fan, thank you) but this is great news for 360 owners who held out for it. Not so great for PS3 owners, but uh...not my problem.
man when are they going to get back on an even playing field? oh well, i'm not really upset. i'll end up buying the ps3 version, but i'm going to get it used for cheap before i really care to pick it up.
although, i do love the fact that the fight counter is made to look like old nixie tubes. a big plus for a geek like me.
I suck at this game anyway, but for Ps3 owners who care, maybe a downloadable add-on for online play? I don't see why not.
Good news, I mostly only buy Live enabled games, Bioshock and Mass Effect and Blue Dragon are my exceptions this year.
Soul Calibur better be online too.

If this is the kind of thing that happen when the PS3 is the lead dev platform, Sony's damned if they (the devs) do (start on PS3), damned if they don't (crappy ports for PS3).

Oh no, a crappy fighting game that no one will buy will be online on the other system!!! The XBoy continues to seep through Jims outer shell. Guess hes just another game blogger paid for my M$ to spread their anti Sony agenda.
I keep expecting Sony to really have things swing in their favor, but it hasn't seemed to happen yet. Maybe at E3...
I fucking detest fighting games so could anyone who doesn't tell me whether the 360 pad or the Sixaxis is better for controlling them. I'm guessing that the dpad will be the preferred method for character movement and quite frankly the 360 dpad is shit. I imagine decent controls are a hell of lot more important to most people than a load of online features. I could be wrong though.
This is retarded. I keep waiting for the PS3 to become a console that I want to buy, but it's not going to happen if people keep screwing Sony over like this.
The frustrating thing is, companies like Capcom and Sega HAVE the power to make the PS3 a must buy console. But they don't because it isn't one NOW. It's like a farmer that never waters a strawberry bush because it doesn't produce strawberries.
I'm seriously rooting for Sony now, not because I actually like them, but because I don't want to see one single company monopolize the industry like this.
I mean, Microsoft already has PCs, amirite?

You mean where they won't be announcing a price cut?
I'm also pretty sure they'll also spend time denying the existence of Home, Little Big Planet, or Heavenly Sword.
Sony Exec: "We've never heard of this BluRay... You sure you don't you mean CED SelectaVision?!"

Maybe they'll announce the addition of that last-gen technology "Rumble" at E3. They'll have to explain in painful detail how they got it working with the accelerometers in the SixAxiS. Amazing technology that!
@diega
Um, MS isn't monopolizing the market. For now, they have the marketshare, but they're hardly monopolizing. And a monopoly would even need some different factors than what's going on here. MS would have to actively shutting Sony out of business. For Sony to have fucked up the way they have, that's not MS' fault or problem. Monopolizing means that they take control, and Sony's basically handed MS and Nintendo the reins.
That's like saying the Democrats have monopolized the 2008 election because the GOP has shit itself in the last 3 years.

You mean like Sony was 2 years ago? Give them time, geez.
Oh yeah.. here!

I didn't say Microsoft is monopolizing the market now. But I'm beginning to see the start of what could potentially be a turn for the worse in the realm of console video gaming.

And I never said I liked how big the PS2 was in the previous generation. I want to see a level playing field this time around, but it looks like it won't happen.
Ever since watching Pirates of the silicon valley I have steered away from microsoft and their business practices. I mean they are just ac corrupt as the Repubs like DVD said.
Ouch for PS3 owners, though they at least got to play it early. I think I've officially decided to get this now.
Hmm typed that a bit to fast (20 WPM) my accurate max is 7. anyway it was a port to theps3 so no.
As far as microsoft monopoly, Nah, too goo of a competition.

i actually think its more balanced now than ever! you have the wii and 360 doing well compared to ps3 but, ps3 still sells and is competing.the price drop will help, now they need the games.when ps2 was out gamecube sales and game releases were terrible! the dreamcast seized to exist and xbox was too late for anyone to really care.so ps2 was its own competition before 360 and ps3 came out.hell ps2 is still selling!

The Wii is in a completely different ballgame, in my eyes. The competition pretty much boils down to the PS3 and the 360, and I would have liked it if they could co-exist in a balanced market.
I don't know if PS3 fanboys have realized this yet, but there's a REASON why we pay for xbox live. It removes the cost of supporting online from the developer and places it on the customer who WANTS online. Having a system for online on the 360 is easy on developers because they don't have to host their own servers.
Its not like 360 owners just got lucky, no, they deserve to have online because they PAY for it.

@comradetrotskii

Deiga: There's still time. Sony keep saying they're in it for the long haul, adopting a tortoise-and-hare approach. I do believe that Sony is still capable of clawing its respect back. It will take time, however, and in the here-and-now, their arrogance and behavior has earned them a few kicks up the ass.
Boy, are they getting kicked hard though.

iliketuna: I totally forgot about those sort of things (like I say I don't like fighting games so I don't play them) that stick would certainly make the 360 version the better version.
Grapefruit Juice: My political affiliation is my own business you capitalist pig.
Na, I studied Russian History and have always had a bit of a fetish for it. 'ComradeTrotskii' was originally a trolling account I set up on Gamefaqs and because I couldn't get my preferred name on XboxLive ('thenewflesh') I pretty much use ComradeTrotskii as my 'internet/gaming name' now. I'm not sure if the hammer and sickle offends you (or anyone else) but I can assure I don't have it there in support of the Soviet system.

@Ignignokt01:
I catch some much crap from my PS3 owning co-workers about paying for XBox Live.
I'll just waggle (I mean wag) this in their face and make fun of PS3 online once again.
Speaking of waggle, how come no-one makes fun of the fact that Nintendo seems scared of the internets?

SixPounds, I didn't make the news up, darling. Is every other site reporting this a mythical "sony hater" as well? Grow up.
Sixpounds go chew on a beer bottle dude. Sterling has some serious catching up to do with a top hat dammit.
