It seems there is some great luck waiting for the european PS3 launch. Prehaps the only "Must have" PS3 title that's going to be released the earliest.

VF5 is set to be a launch title for the Euro PS3 launch (March '07?). No fear, Americans will get the game on 02/20/2007 while the japanese release date is 02/08/2007. Sega will also launch the Virtua Stick High Grade (USB2-PS3 compatible joystick) on 15th of the same month in Japan, no word on a world wide release, but I doubt it.

The game will sport everything from the arcade version and I stress there will be no online play.

If you have a PS3 and not happy with the current stock of games and think it's currently a poor excuse of a computer and Blu-Ray player, VF5 is just what you need. Otherwise, keep on waiting.
