If anyone is on the fence, the Platinum is totally doable.
Because that matters.

Does the game have english support or is it at least easy to navigate through the menus?

Make sure you jump on the IRC with us if you can! #gafgundam @Espernet
Enron, aka...

You know Enron is saving all that salt so he can convert it into pure ether in a decisive Rage Gouf match one day.
My favorite Shuffle Alliance member ain't even in the game in either version. They can get back to me when Maxter comes in and punches the shit out of people.

I wouldn't be surprised. Dude's been buying sticks!
Probably never son, never.
so is this game even playable with a normal PS3 controller? I read some about this game on another site, and they kept talking about sticks they used etc.
Lots of peeps use controller, especially those who played the previous games on the PSP. It's very playable and isn't a hindrance.

Totally absolutely 100% playable on a controller. I'm alwasy tempted to get a stick for it, but then I'd have more plastic crap taking up space. 
I humbly disagree as I'm a stick player and love it, but yeah, it's totally doable with a controller and almost every GAFGundam player is a pad player, IIRC.
It's longer in Full Boost arcade!

Take your unibus elsewhere!
I tried it yesterday and it was like 30 seconds maybe? I forget but I was still like trying to scroll through to find new units and thought the time was running out too fast. "Fuck it I'll use Ord"
To your face / shibuya arcades.

Yeah, we haven't died! We just use IRC to get organized and whatnot.
Errr, it can range from 4PM EST to 3AM EST.

Damn, I might have to bite at that price. I always wanted the game but managed to talk myself out of it due to price and my ever growing backlog of unplayed games. At a discounted price, it's like the universe is telling me to buy it. I'd be losing money by not owning it!
Funky time zones!

Aren't you in one of them? :O

Good looking out! Replaced the link on top with the amiami link.

Yup. Versus Ranked/Player only though. If you wanted to play arcade mode 2p, that's local only.
Amiami says 1500-2000 JPY for shipping to NA though, while Play-Asia says free shipping.. assuming that is what it means, at the cheapest for shipping, it would cost more at amiami.

Damn. I've been on the fence about this for some time but figured I'd wait for FB. So conflicted.

Oh, didn't know play-asia offered free shipping now. Still, the equivalent method would be SAL, which would cost around 500 yen for shipping (1500-2000 yen is for EMS, which isn't free in play-asia either), so it would come out a bit cheaper. Also since they're in Japan they would probably ship earlier.
Still, not as much difference as I thought in the end.

Do it. You need VS mech action as well.
FB still has a bunch of unlocks left to go in the arcade and it usually takes about a year or so for the home release to follow the arcade one with the VS series (FB came out in APR if I remember). I'm hoping we find out soon, but vanilla EXVS is still a blast.

I'll probably pick this up during winter break
Wanted another game to play on stick during winter break besides AE, but didn't necessarily want another fighting game.
Hopefully you can pick it up even cheaper through Ebay resellers like the initial release.

If there's going to be a Hong Kong version of this down the line, that'll be the cheapest version to get. Anybody know if that'll happen?

^ Beyond help. xD
Well it looks like Asia also gets BEST versions as well, so that might be something to look forward to.

Can only recommend it. It's a fun 2v2 game with loads of salt sprinkled in between, due to teamplay. In terms of netplay, I have to say it's pretty good and so far it's been an enjoyable experience.
Make sure to visit the OT if you haven't played one of its kind before, even though there is not that much to learn there are still some technicalities that should be known.
Also I doubt that Full Boost will be out soon as others have mentioned before.
Pro tip: Use Acguy.
It's very playable with a normal PS3 controller. Though you might have to change some buttons.
There is already an asian version and it's the same price
Why would that be?

"tell me more..was it love at first sight?"
i am interested, but i will admit only for the single player, i watched a youtube vid and LOVED the speed and look, although i have no idea who some of the characters are..is the story going to be neigh impossible for me to follow?
thank you in advance
*ever since someone pointed out, with great irritation, that my i's where not capitalized, i've become self conscious -__-
edit: watched the 11 minute video, saw heavy arms releasing a barrage of missiles on a group of enemies=nonsexual erection
must have this game.

The characters are drawn from the various different Gundam universes and half of them have little to no connection to each other. There is a campaign mode, but that's not why you play. You'll be missing some great references, but that's all.
This game MUST be played multi. it's the whole point of the game!
Probably never son, never.
Truly a shame. Gundam needs more giant robots who box.

i'm not competitive, i only really play co-op if i play online at all..i love the Gundamverse, and love when giant robots blow things up real good.
with epic missile barrages.
