Yeah it is from what I have herd, its big in Korea but it is monster in Japan. Number one fighting game in Japan I think, I could be wrong. LSD, you NEED to get VF5 online man, it is awesome. It does not matter to me if you are new to the series, I was helping out a lot of new to VF people earlier today. Now I need to get a PS3 to play Tekken online. By the way I am buying DOA4 online tomorrow prolly. I played the demo earlier and I thought it was OK but VERY overrated. I will reserve my final opinion of DOA4 till I have the complete version. Didn't get an XBOX360 yet. Still undecided whether to get a PS3 or X360. As of right now I would say a 360. PS3 does have Tekken 5DR online but man we have been playing that already on the PSP for over a year now I think. I would suggest getting a PS3 a little later. 360 does have VF5 and DOA4 online to play. I know what kind of games you are into, we have been forum whoring for years now, I would suggest you getting a XB360. You seems to know me But as I mention in the other thread, I am not sure I can play online for XBOX360, as I can only get modded XBOX360 here. Modded 360's can go online, just make sure you're using the newest firmware (if it's firmware modded). Modchips are safe as far as I know.
