Online Hijinx
Well I finally got to purchasing the Online upgrade to Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection. Total cost for the game runs around $40 with the upgrade compared to the original home release of T5. It appears that it is global when it comes to finding battle rooms despite the thing saying you're limited to your region. Unless people are just choosing flags for different countries in my area. **chuckle** Like the "ghost" battle where you do your ranking based on win/loss record you start over against human opponents. Don't let some ranks fool you, some people can be new to T5: DR Online but are butt kickers in their own right. Drawback is a split second lag at times so that can mean the difference on a win when you're trying to get an attack off quickly.
I'm hoping there's an online component to Soul Calibur IV when it comes out particularly since you will be able to play Darth Vader and Yoda (depending on what system copy you bought, 360 vs PS3) in this. Yes, you heard right. Namco's going to have fun with this. Plus you'll be able to download the other character you don't have when it's available.
For the old schoolers out there, I also got the arcade classics of Joust and Q*bert! Yep, putting the PS3 through it's paces with these two games and they only ran like $5 a pop. **l**
