[Daft Punk]

I was on psn last night and fought a few folks . There wasn't hardly anyone on..

[duo_r]

The collectors edition is WAY better than the Xbox version. And I normally buy multi releases on the Xbox....

I was at Lamestop last night, trying to decide which version to get. I have never had as much trouble deciding on a multiplatform version as I did yesterday. I prefer Xbox Live to the PSN and have more friends playing there so I finally chose the 360 version. I get home and I'm psyched and ready for some sweet street fightin' goodness... And then I notice they cut my game case with a boxcutter. DAMN IT!!! So I jumped back in my truck and went back to town to get a copy without a cut in it. I know it might seem petty but if I'm going to pay 65 bucks for a game then I want it to be mint and pristine. I just wish the register jockeys would keep their blades away from our games. My buddy picked up his preorder after me at the same store and they tried to give him a mutilated copy as well. I had given him the heads up so he wouldn't leave the store without realizing it like I did.

Im installing it so it will load faster

My id is GameOverRG

[GrandAmChandler]

Wait they released this on the PS3?

[Daft Punk]

yup ps3 and 360 . Coming soon also on the PC.

Actually, per people who had received theirs early, neither collector's edition is very good. The figures included are low quality in both and the anime movie is very poorly done. The fact that it's on Blu Ray on PS3 doesn't really matter when the product itself is crap. Given those facts, I would probably go with the one where more people will be playing and which has a more stable on-line environment. In this case, I think 360 wins.

Except for the god awful D-pad. Here's to hoping those Mad Catz pads are any good...

Yes, alot of people are playing this on PSN. One reason is that the xbox controller sucks, and all the arcade sticks and 6 button controllers are sold out. 2nd, is that people who are more serious about fighting games, like people who enter EVO tournaments, would rather play it on PS3 cause it is easier to make a custom arcade stick., and PS3 is the platform the game will be played on in EVO.

[Daft Punk]

PS3 is the platform the game will be played on in EVO.


That's why I dont get why gamestop is using the 360 version for the tournament because if you win round 3 you get a bid for evo .

Out of stock pads id have to pick the ps3 but the shoulder buttons suck having to use the l2 and r2 is a real cramper.

[Sotenga]

Both console versions have their valid reasons. I'd actually give my edge to the PS3 one due to A: No additional payment for being able to play online, B: Better default controller, and C: In regards to the Collector's Edition, I'd prefer the Ryu figure instead of the C. Viper one meself. Sadly, since it's still probably going to be a damn long while before I get a PS3 (likely not until next Christmas), I sprung for the 360 version. A roughly equal amount of my friends went for the 360 and PS3 versions; some are also waiting for the PC one to be released.

I have both systems and I got the 360 version. I like it so far, but I do want a better controller. I'm going to have Live anyway so it's not like I'm paying for it just to play Street Fighter. I was going to get the collector's edition until an off-duty clerk opened his up while I was at Gamestop and showed me the bonus goodies. The figure was a big disappointment to me. Everything I had seen so far lead me to believe that it would be fairly big and the detail level looked awesome in the pics. When he pulled Crimson Viper out it honestly looked like a happy meal toy. At that point I opted for the regular version and decided to put that extra 20 bucks towards either a SFIV pad or the tournament joystick. Why Microsoft won't get their head out of their collective ass and make a controller with a better D-pad is beyond me... Does anyone know if that green European one with the improved D-pad will work on an American 360? If so, I may be doing some importing :)

[Emuaust]

Well I have both versions and suprisingly found more lag free matches on the PSN over XBL, coupled with a better D-Pad and its hard to not pick the PS3 version unless you dont have any PSN friends

[duo_r]

So the Ryu figure sucks too? Well I think the Bluray is still a bonus, you can throw it on ebay and at least have a larger potential buying audience. You could probably get your $20 right there. I don't think there would be much interest in an Xbox 360 only video disc.

Well, I got the PS3 version and I got the collector's edition and I am very pleased with it. I like the figure, and I like the bonus cartoony art/hint book included with the bonus material, I like that it came with a soundtrack, the anime quality isn't amazing but I like it anyway, I love both reversible covers on the blu-ray and game cases, and I like that they included a voucher for some free costumes to download because you have to buy them anyway.

On a side note and the main topic of this thread, my PSN handle is GnawRadar once I set my PS3 settings to online and accept challenges I'm willing to give out ass-beatings for free.

I don't know, are people really going to pay $20 for a Blu Ray with a relatively short and poorly animated movie on it? I ended up picking up the 360 version this morning at Best Buy and I think the game is amazing, but the Collector's Edition stuff is pretty pointless with the exception of the voucher for DLC. I saw the Ryu figure up close and although it looks a little better because it was easier to paint, the face and some of the costume detail is still pretty poor. Also, both figures are TINY.

Let's reign in this thread before it officially turns into another PS3 vs. 360 yawn fest.

You see...my statement was nothing more than a light-hearted jab directed at the PS3 diehards on this forum. I think most people here understand. No offense was intended. I really have no opinion on one version versus another. Attn: fanboys....LIGHTEN UP.

[FxMercenary]

i bought the 360 CE. I like how when they talk before fighting, their maouths keep moving after they said what they were supposed to say, voiceovers ftw...

Overall I am not very impressed yet...

The PS3 Version was the one I wanted because there are unlockables in PSHome, but PS3 is sold out everywhere, all i could find was the 360 at best buy, and even they only got 5 in. ( 0 for PS3 )

The lady opened the boc and gave me a copy, I hope it wasnt someone's pre-order lol!

Really? I picked up my 360 copy at around 11 am this morning with no reservation and Best Buy had at least 25-30 copies of each CE at the registers. Stock and demand must have varied a lot by location.

[NEOFREAK9189]

I have the ps 3 version

[greedostick]

That's why I dont get why gamestop is using the 360 version for the tournament because if you win round 3 you get a bid for evo .

Out of stock pads id have to pick the ps3 but the shoulder buttons suck having to use the l2 and r2 is a real cramper.

Just change you controls. I use square for LP, triangle for HP, x for LK, O for HK, R1 for MK, L1 for MP, and set R2 to KKK, and L2 for throw or focus. I never use MP, so I don't have to worry about it being in a awkward place, and L2 works quite well with MK. It still kinda sucks if you really need all the buttons. But it will get me by till I get my arcade stick working.

[kupomogli]

I can safely say that I am alot better than 95% of the people I have played. That's those that I've played, though, so definitely no even close to pro, but I'm good.

I'm getting the PS3 version sometime later. Until then I'll be using my friends 360 once a week to play online. I'd rather not use that crappy controller though, but since I unfortunately broke my PS3 controller when getting pissed off, I'll have to buy a new PS3 controller first as my cousins controller sucks balls(analog sticks are pathetic.)

*edit*

When I get a new controller and Street Fighter 4 I'll add some of you to play.

Anyone up for some fighting now? Add me: SloaneRangerSW1

[Arcade_Ness]

I have the PS3 version and honestly I need either a fightpad or an arcade stick, because the d pad is too stiff for me. I usually play in the afternoon or evening, but feel free to add me--->ArcadeNess

[G-Boobie]

I'm Geoffvdl on PSN, and I'd welcome the chance to play some of the fine folks on DP. G'head and add me.

I'd already mentioned this in the general Street Fighter IV thread, but it's probably more applicable here: Please please please install the game to your hard drive if you're playing online. It's two gigs, installs quickly, and reduces the load times to literally nothing.

Your online play will be quicker and smoother too... Which is really the important part.
