That being said, I won't get my hopes up. #talesofvesperia

Namco never releases cross-platform Tales ports. Because, you know, that would be a smart idea. And Namco isn't known for making those these days. #talesofvesperia

And the reason we'd think you care is because your reputation as one filled with cosmic hatred precedes you by quite a margin. #talesofvesperia

I'm just saying that Namco's track record of releasing late ports and remakes of Tales games is, as of now, zero for like, 12. There's no reason they'd start now, even if they really SHOULD. #talesofvesperia

I've been waiting a little too patiently for the PS3 localization, but apparently Namco is so mentally defective that they'd port the game to the Wii first. You get none of my money, Namco. You've been all very bad children. :( #talesofvesperia

Describes the moment for me perfectly.
In other news, CoD4 is being ported to the Wii. #talesofvesperia

I don't see how this is "simply unfair." The PS3 and 360, although similar in power, are two very different machines. #tekken6

The disc based load time is very easy to explain. The PS3's blu-ray drive is only a 1x speed. It has a higher capacity for storage than the 360's dvd drive, but reads data significantly slower. This is the reason why many PS3 games now have mandatory installs. #tekken6

YOURS!
*Points down at Blore07*
And by the look of it, it is a 3 for 1 deal on seconds for the PS3 version...

What's that you say? I've just edited it? Oh well, I had just forgotten to dot an "i", that's all...

for example: "blltherlng ldollzlng ldlots!" Turns it from an insult into some sort of foreign doll line.

And you have to get up early in the morning to get one over me...
Mostly because when I try to get up even earlier to beat you, I tend to be really really tired and incoherent...
... What year is it again? #tekken6

unless you got that, and were being sarcastic...
but...
wait...
we both need a few extra hours in bed each day, this getting up to outdo each other is too much. #tekken6

If they run pretty much the same when installed, no biggie imo. #tekken6

As you say though, given that I have a 320gb hard drive, installing is no problem (in fact, anythng that gives the blu-ray drive a rest is a bonus).
While PS3 v 360 is all very interesting, I would like to know how the load times compare installed v disc. Anyone speak the Japanese (sorry if it isn't Japanese, I don't really know how to differentiate between oriental characters)? #tekken6

Ps3 disc vs HDD (seconds)
character change: 25.4 vs 10
Stage change: 17.6 vs 10.1
Change both: 33 vs 11.8
Xbox360 disc vs HDD (seconds)
character change: 9 vs 7.5
Stage change: 9.9 vs 8.3
Change both: 11 vs 9.1
Thank goodness for HDD :P #tekken6

2x read on a Blu-Ray is rated at 72 Mbit/sec (6x is rated at 216 Mbit/sec) whereas 16x read on a DVD is rated at 172 Mbit/sec.

It would take more than two minutes for me to differentiate between East Asian characters, let alone to read each language.
Thanks again to DAS for answering my question, it's one of the things I love about Kotaku, the community here is usually incredibly knowledgeable and keen to share what they know and thank you ibelli for needlessly pointing out that I don't know everything about East Asian culture. #tekken6

Digressing back to what's being discussed here, it's actually not the blu-ray technologies fault or anything like that, it's simply the fact that to be cost-effective at all they had to use a slow drive to begin with. After all, when PS3s first came out... there wasn't much else besides 2x drive. #tekken6

Ahh ok, consider me a little more in the know when it comes to Blu Ray.
Cheers for the info btw. #tekken6

@Blore07: You're welcome. :D
DustbinK pretty much nailed it on the head. Personally, I think that it's possible to replace the Blu-Ray drive in the PS3 for a more modern/faster drive. I don't see a reason why not unless the drives themselves are somehow locked to the motherboard, which is highly unlikely since people have had their Blu-Ray drive crap out and replaced by Sony. #tekken6

Personally, I main Lee Chaolan and I can barely chain into Hitman stance at all. It's rather painful.
Right now the game is dominated by power characters just trying to overwhelm you with 1 or 2 launcher moves.
I'm a 14-year Tekken veteran, but I don't plan on going back online. I got my trophies, I'm good. #tekken6

Alternatively, if you have an aerosol can around, you can use it along with the zippo to shoot fire at the cops after you bust open the door. Although be ready to yell "Give me back my face!" real loud soon afterwards.
