      usually the ball on the right(Xbox360) is the one I prefer to suck on, but it looks like I'll be double dipping come summer of 2012. I guess that left ball(PS3) won't be so lonely anymore and can finally stop bitching that I never give it any attention.

      Sega you did good... finally!

      As I've said in another topic, I always believed that SEGA will bring VF5FS home. It is a glorious moment for VF fans. I'm more than happy to see SEGA understands that the future of VF is the home consoles. All VF5FS needs is a little promotion from SEGA and a lot of love from fighting fans.

      We are back in business baby !

      They what now?

      I've been staring at my computer screen wild eyed for some fifteen minutes now.

      Summer 2012?

      Ah well, waited this long what's another fr!@#$@#%^@$&#in year?

      I wonder if I'll get back into fighting games then. At least I'll finally have a game I can play somewhat decently online. Would be a refreshing change from getting kicked to the curb 24/7 in any other game. (well, apart from LoL, still going 50/50 there.)

      Can´t believe this is really happening...
      I really hoped for a retail game and spectator options, but right now, I don´t fucking care.

      If it doesn't happen there or somewhere else i'm sure i can set something up in London. At the very least, this is in time for SVB 2012.

      I'll have to try to get this going in a lot of events.
