I've had a couple but not too many. Then again I haven't played much online.

Fuck that. If you like the game, give the developer your money. Game "sharing" on the PS3 is only one small step better than piracy.

What? Jack Tretton talked about how it was a good idea during his E3 Keynote :confused:

Sony announced that players who download games from PlayStation's online shop can share them on up to five other PS3 machines.

If a player logs into his PlayStation 3 account on a friend's system, he can download any game he has already purchased. "You can send that content to four other friends for that initial investment," said Tretton. "We want to get the game in as many hands as possible." "It's not about generating profits at each and every interaction with the consumer," he said. "I think that really offsets the argument that says, 'Wow, that's a really pricey system.'"

that is cool i didnt know that.
i bought the xbla version but another friend of mine bought the ps3 one (and i scolded him for it) maybe i should now ask him to share it with me so we can play online

can the person who shares the game with you "sharer" play with the "sharee" simulataneously online?

What do you mean 'slowdown'? Do you mean when a person is knocked out? I'm pretty sure that's their attempt at a dramatic slowmo KO.

Maybe he's talking about the lag in online competition? It isn't very clear.

I'm pretty sure Kev is talking about how the game slows down when you do a combo or have a lot of stuff going on the screen at the same time. I don't think it's as bad as the SNES versions but it still seems to be there sometimes. I really don't mind since I'm so used to it.

Yeah thats what I meant. You'd think the cell processor would be able to handle SF2.

It's there because most competitive ST players are used to it, theres an option to turn it off but IMO should stay in.

yes, you just have to keep his PSN account on your PS3 or you won't be able to play the game. you don't have to play it from his PSN account however, you can play it from your own.

as long as you don't delete his PSN account off your PS3, it will seem as if you purchased it when you are logged into your PSN account. it'll be in your list of games.

Wait, are you sure you're answering his question? I was under the impression that some games (e.g. like Warhawk) could be shared, but that only one person could be online at a time. I'm not sure if this applies to all the games with online play or not, but I'm pretty sure there were limitations on some of them... or at least there were at one point. But this isn't a situation I've actually tested myself.

If you're handy with electronics, you could buy a PS2 or PS3 stick and add in/swap the PCB with a 360 controller's pcb.

Or you can get the Fighting stick EX2 and mod out the buttons and stick.

Sorry, I don't know anything about the fighting stick community nor mods. I can handle electronics just fine though.

Why would I buy a PS2 or PS3 stick and hack it to make it work with the 360? Wouldn't it be better to get one made for the 360? And what sort of mods are recommended/necessary for the Fighting Stick EX2?

I'm thinking that either the 360 sticks aren't out yet (will be for SF4) or that the PS2 ones would be cheaper.

In my opinion the only good 360 stick out there is the Hori Real Arcade Pro EX. It's discontinued so they're hard to find, and expensive when you do.

The PS2/PS3 have a wide range of good sticks you can buy and mod. They're cheap and are readily available all over the internet.

I have a Hori Fighting Stick EX and it is ok but not that great.

The Madcatz SF4 sticks are out in Feb. Can preorder now. I'll be getting the one for 149.99 that has the same parts as the SF4 arcade machines. Sanwa buttons etc. They are Japanese style sticks though so make sure you are ok with that.

There is also a cheaper version.

I'm going to get one of these gamepads too. These look awesome.

Markman who posts on SRK and CAG helped build these and he says they are going to be great. I trust him when it comes to sticks. Normally I wouldn't trust Madcatz.

Anyone still playing this online? Either Xbox or PS3? I see myself playing this for basically the foreseeable future. I'm still pretty meh (not a noob, maybe a scrub).

I never realized I was this awful at SF2. My record is like 11-45 in ranked matches. Almost everyone I go up against seems like they have made it their life goal to become a SF2 expert. The only people I can compete with are in the unranked matches.

I constantly play this. It is my favorite game to play online. I suck but I'm trying to get better. My record is like 75-96 or something last time I checked.

I've been spending alot of time with goty Fallout 3 lately but whenever I play online it is SF2.

What are your guys's PSN/XBL names?

I bought Fallout3 on Black Friday from Amazon. I haven't opened it yet because the only game I've played for the last couple weeks is HD Remix :frown:
