A modern-day fighting game without DLC is like a Thanksgiving without indigestion. You just don't see that anymore.
Tekken 6 had DLC...kind of. Cardboard Tube Samurai was cool, but not really what most would expect to see as Tekken DLC. There could be more coming. When asked about the possibility of some hot new DLC, Katsuhiro Harada, Producer, told PlayStation Europe, “There is a strong possibility we will. However, even if we were to do so, it would be free to the end user.”
I like "strong possibility" a lot, and I love "free." Gimme some crazy sh*t, Namco Bandai. Throw in the Prince from Katamari Damacy. I'd love him and KOS-MOS to fight.
Damn, someone needs to let me make a fighting game.

also the online patch to "fix the lag" drops on Gobble Gobble day this week.
Personally, I'm just using it as practice when I commute but it's more for memorizing combos since I use an arcade stick at home.
If you're a hardcore Tekken fan (and by that I mean you love the fighting mechanics and characters and would love to jump back in with a bunch of new characters and a decent amount of new moves for all the new characters) then you'll really like Tekken 6.
If, however, you want to play the game for the single player (Scenario mode is overemphasized and very weak for how much time it takes), you may want to pass on this one.
At the very least, you'll probably want to wait til the end of the week when then online update patch is supposedly coming out. If it ends up being a decent improvement, then there's a lot more to like about the game.
And to be completely honest, I quite like T6.
Regarding the lag, I think I just got lucky as I have seen very little of it, barring one terrible timed out match.
Friends = Buy
Loner = Rent
But I love Tekken, so I'm torn.
Well, I just checked and it looks like the PSP version doesn't even HAVE the Scenario Campaign in it so really the only thing you'd have to do as a loner on the PSP version of T6 is play arcade mode, unlock storylines, and play ghost mode which has you fighting player-ghosts (uploaded player data) to earn money, raise your rank, and buy clothing items.
Note that your rank doesn't actually effect anything, it's just eye candy really. And I don't know if you can get past the rank of 1st Dan without online play (because you can't in the console version, which will hopefully be patched out).
The costumes and such are extensive, but as a loner that's new to the series, I don't know if there's going to be a lot of content for you in the PSP version.
