The purchasable colors are not up yet and will hopefully be up soon(or maybe next week). This is what Xbox players have been waiting for. There is now perfect parity between the PS3 and 360 versions. Start your training regimens ladies because we've got EVO, East Coast Throwdown 5, UFGT9 and CEO 2013 to crash.

An understatement to say the least. Anything under 130 ping is better than green bar in most fighting games and almost everything else is very playable.
Look forward to trying this out, improved load times were a must.
They are much better than before. Not two seconds of loading, but pretty close to the PS3 version. It's a godsend compared to the vanilla version's loading times.

I get 180 ping trying to connect to a friend in America so hopefully this patch will make things amazing.

Crap...gotta redownload it. The patch didn't work and now I cant go online. I'll try downloading it from the market place and then open the game instead of just starting and letting it self update.

The lobbies hurt the game. Not being able to see if folks are online mean if you can't find a match, you assume no one is online. Hoping PC version changes this.

Are all these purchaseable colors displayed somewhere to help the decision to get them or not? I've seen about 1 example per character on the PSN store (ex: Lei-Lei colors for Peacock), but it didn't seem enough, I'd like to get a good look at what's available for all characters.

You mean the lack of lobbies.

I don't think there is an official collection out there. Hopefully L0 releases some more pictures or something.

Sweet. Downloaded this morning. Only got to try one character tutorial, but man, this is how tutorials need to be done. Before you even start you get an info-download about the character and then the same detailed info for each of the moves they have you try.

This is the kind of info that for every other game you have to go to SRK or the like to learn. Great stuff.

Focusing on SoloBella for maximum salt
losses

I wasn't going to get this on the 360 because I thought the devs weren't going to support it like the PC version. Nice!

seems i only got a 7mb update instead of the 273mb update. Upon relaunching i just get a message to please update, so I guess I should probably delete then re-install to fix this problem?

Luckily you can still practice offline. Then you'll be in good shape when the PC version drops with new online goodies.
Which is a nice "fucking finally" for me. At least now I don't have to worry about whether or not the stuff I'm trying still actually works or not.

I thought the 360's patch limit was like 10mb or something? How did they get away with this?

The patch is 7MB. The update is a 273MB compatibility pack required for online play.

So I guess it kind of works like SSFIV updates? Except no cost.
