Why'd PS3 owners get stiffed on VF5 online?
seems like even sega was shocked when they heard AM2secretly makex360 version VF5 online...

They didn't want to pay for servers to use with PSN is what it looks like. And the PR never actually answered the question of why the PS3 fans were given the shaft.Ibacai

i dont know why they didnt make it p2p for the ps3 if they ended up taking their time to release it on the ps3. there are games on the ps3 that use the p2p system like fight night round 3.
