I usually stick with 360 because I favor Xbox Live, but I'll consider switching to PSN since it seems to have more people for fighting games. I'm just so heavily invested in 360 and my Ps3 is basically my Blu Ray player these days. My fightpad and TE are for 360 as well.
There's also the matter of connection. At the moment I can only do wireless, and Ps3 never seems to get as good a wireless connection as my 360's Wireless N Adapter. I'll have to experiment, I dunno.
My issue is I have more friends who I actually know and have hung out with on 360, but my gold sub ran out around New Years and I haven't bothered to pony up since. Also, the 360 is in the main room that my roommate uses for watching movies and netflix from, so it's rarely available for gaming use.
On the other hand, the PS3 is always available and online is free, but I find I don't have as many fighting buddies there. :P
I can't find the link, where's that fightstick that works on both consoles? I think I might get this for PSN if the fighting game community really is larger.

These are dual sticks that are apparently quite excellent:
In summary, 8.5 overall. The review goes on to say that it's super smooth to play online thanks to GGPO netcode, and looks great all around. Some negatives are that the AI difficulty seems high even on the easiest setting and there are few extra modes outside of versus, training and story. There's also no available in-game movelist, which seems like the weirdest thing to neglect or leave out. It's always handy to be able to look up that sort of thing right in the midst of playing, given all the other conveniences the game provides (holding pause to actually pause, switch right into training at any time, etc.)
Still picking this up tomorrow, likely on PSN. ArcticArctos is my ID if anyone wants some games. I wonder if there are lobbies or rooms when playing online.
1200 points on LIVE
14.99 on PSN.
I don't see it on either store today though. I've been a live person for years but I'm thinking of taking a leap of faith and getting in on PSN.

Edge apparently thinks cheesecake is pig-disgusting and that Video Games should stay above that sort of thing.
Soul Calibur V got an 8 and no one mentioned any design choices IIRC

Goddamnit, I already have 800 points chilling on Live and no money to buy more.

PSN, cuz
Dat D-Pad?
Unless you're gonna use a stick, then I dunno...

(And a second one for PS3-only.)

My job closed down so I wont be buying that baller stick that works on anything mentioned earlier. But someday. Someday.

Until we got these new FoeHammer sticks going, I was pretty much set on the PS3 Pearl stick.
Ooh, I'd consider this. I have a 360 TE. That's why switching to PSN is so drastic. I would love being able to use the stick on all devices.
And stick in some other kinda art in there. Maybe I'll make a Blind Guardian stick.

Oh god, I think I'll have to find a pro for this. I can't handle electrical engineering for shit.
You want a moves list? Here's one!

Grah, I want this game in my hot little hands already.

Inqi what system are you getting it for?
I'm still debating whether to go with PS3 for the possible tournament standard, or for the 360 to hit that Triple Play multiplayer target.
Gonna be getting it for the 360 as I do not own a PS3.
