Most Xbox 360 gamers should already be able to download the game. Not as much news compared to yesterday, but I'm quite the Xbox 360 VFers are excited! Happy Virtua Fighting!

Unlike PS3 gamers, there is currently no special deal for the 360 gamers. The game plus the 2 bundle packs will cost a total of $45 US dollars.

There are 12 items that one can purchase to customize your 360 Avatar. These include VF5FS T-shirt, VF Characters' hair, mask, outfits and animations!

Last weekend, just days before the official release of FS to console, Brisal73 rounded up some notable VF players within the US to chat about VF! Dubbed the Ready GO! podcast, in this inaugural episode Brisal73 talks to L_A, Plague and Rodnutz about how it all started for them!

As a special treat, L_A reveals the most intricate email address in the world!
