Yeah, I remember the update (which was pretty frustrating to download, actually - it took me at least 5 tries!) but I don't remember digging through the menus to download... hmm, maybe I just have a bad memory

I had heard that on the PS3 you can play against folks from the USA and Japan, but on the 360, it is limited to your specific region. Is that true?
I think all PS3 games should ask you at the beginning if you want to do an optional install to improve speeds. But hey, they just write it for the 360 and then port it to the PS3, so
no you can play any region on the 360.

nope, you have to go into the options menu to install it.
there was an auto-update right off the bat, which is what you may be thinking of.
it also asked you when you start arcade mode if you want to turn on the feature where people can interrupt you for online play while you are playing single player arcade mode.

Might want to consider just getting the regular version for the 360, then find a better sculpted stand-alone Ryu figure somewhere else for separate purchase.

You make is sound as if the 360 is the bad guy when it's the PS3's blu-ray drive speed to blame.
Is what I said untrue? They write for the 360 then use middleware to port it to the PS3. The game cannot assume there is a hard drive there, because of Microsoft's decision to not include a hard drive in the 360. And yes, the PS3 Blu-ray drive is slow.
I just wanted to make sure in this process that the PS3 version didn't get the shaft. Honestly, I would rather have it on the 360, because the whole Live integration is so much better than PSN. But, there are too many "ifs" with the 360, and other things I would need to buy to make the experience "complete".
gorcorps, you assume too much. You're reading things that are simply not there. I wanted people who have experienced both to give me their impressions of whether one version or another was done sloppily. It happens all the time. Like I said in my post, I was torn between which one to get, and I wanted to make sure there was no technical deficiency in one version or the other.
I guess for me, I'm leaning towards the PS3, since the DualShock 3 D-pad is way better than the 360 D-pad, and the PS3 has way more HDD space (so installing/DLC wouldn't be a problem). If I got it on the 360, I'd pretty much have to micro-manage my HDD space, and I'd be forced to wait until SF IV fightpads were available since the D-pad on the 360 controller is such junk.

Hmm I think I may buy it tonight then... I need to go to the mall to buy new shoes anyway. Here I was trying to curb my video game purchasing habit .

Reading things that aren't there? Here's part of your post buddy, and read it carefully:

You were already favoring the PS3, you said so yourself. I wasn't reading things that weren't there, I was just reading.

I have the xbox 360 version at my house. Through my network with all my ports forwarded correctly, I can find ranked matches and player matches pretty much anytime of the day in under a minute. Usually a refresh will show a list of 2-3 people with 4 bars, and the rest of the list filled up with people with 3 bars. Quick match doesn't work for crap and I get people with no bars, but I only use custom match anyway. The average time in between ranked matches is about 1 minute.
On my friends PS3, he lives next door to me on the same time warner cable company. With all 5 of his PSN ports forwarded correctly as well. The time between ranked matches takes him about 3 minutes. Usually a list refresh will only show 3-4 games at most and the most he gets is 3 bars with the very occasional occurrence of someone with 4 bars. Another odd thing is that he's often gets the "unable to join game" error or the games fill up before he can join. He's often forced into just playing arcade mode with request on so people with 1-2 bars challenge him.
Anyone else with PSN able to give me some feedback? I'd like to see if he can get some more favorable results with online matching with random people.

Does the manual tell you what ports to forward?

What do you mean you don't see them? On the character select screen, after you initially choose a fighter, it'll give you choices of costume, color, personal action, and something else. Just change the costume.

My goal is to get to 1,500 battle points by Monday. I've been getting a little better and I finally got to 900. Not good by any means but I have improved which is really what matters to me. As long as I see improvememnt it's all good.
Weird thing every other day I play there are tons of Kens but last night I played 6 matches. 5 Akumas and a Vega.

well last night i had an off night
i was playing ranked matches and lost like 4 in a row and ropped like 300bp points just for that.
the frustrating part was that the people i lost to i could have easily beat i was just off my game. i think it is because i'm trying to practice and land some combos w/akuma and trying to use the focus attack more, and I was getting flustered and just missing most of my stuff.
i don't know wtf was going on, it was just one of those off nights heh.
EDIT:
also one thing that i just do not understand...
i go into some player matches, beat the guy 2 times, and they quit. that seems to happn most of the time. i rarely get into good matches w/people where i can keep playing like 10+ matches in a row.
i did have this one good set of like 10 matches last night which was fun, but most times its like i win once or twice and then the person quits.
personally, if someone is kicking my ass, i want to continue to play them to try and figure out how to beat them. it is like people don't understand that they won't get better by playing people they can easily beat.

I got about 2400BP in a day, I don't think it's worth it to play online anymore lol
