If it's any consolation, the Docking Bay practice stage can be accessed in Versus mode now. I'm not sure how it's unlocked or when, but I noticed a big shiny N hovering over the image in the stage select the other day (360 version). I beat story mode with Vader and purchased all of his weapons...

You're fine, the two costume backs require the download codes to unlock, unlike the weapon packs that can simply be unlocked by playing the game. The three missing costume packs fill in the rest of the world in on the LE costume content (maid, school, and formal clothes).

I knew I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up after the small shock of last weeks holiday themed pack. Let's see...next week will be NEW STAGE (See-Saw, this stage can be unlocked through play), NEW CHARACTERS (These characters can be unlocked through play), and probably different denominations of...

I'm curious to see what they do with future DLC, too. It's the first new DLC for the US in over a month, but Japan has gotten regular DLC since launch. Now that Japan is finally finished with all of the LE items (I believe they got the suits for the guys last week) we might start seeing new...

Ha! Finally ditched Clearwire and will be receiving a (hopefully) working, stable, and above all else fast connection in a week. I play online now but limit it to just matches with my friend. Playing random people in slow motion is no fun at all (for either parties, I'm sure). That being said...

You're more or less right as all three stages are contained within the same hangar. The elevator itself is kind of interesting because it continually moves up and down during play. I don't think there's a way to select the stage to play versus (outside of going into practice and placing the...

More DLC available in Japan. Unfortunately it seems to be more stuff from the US limited edition. Hopefully that's the last of it and we'll start getting some new gear soon (and, while I'm dreaming, new stages, music, weapons, etc). While looking around some of the Soul Calibur pages I...

I'm torn on this because I agree with you but, at the same time, I don't. ET was influential in a very negative way but it's more of a coincidence that publishers continue to push big budget titles out the door to ride on the coattails of popular shows, artists, or movies. I don't think there's...

That's the last achievement I need and I'm not looking forward to it one bit. Playing my friends in slow motion (thanks to a terrible internet connection) is one thing, but against psychotics on Live? It gave me an ulcer just getting the "win consecutive ranked matches" achievement. From my...

I found that Setsuka can drain soul gauges pretty quick with his rapid AB (and BA) move. I created a character with her style, gave her Soul Gauge Drain A and an HP drain just in case. I also increased her health while lowering her attack power slightly (around the 120s if I remember correctly)...

Nice! I had a few random points that were begging to be spent, so I picked up The Gathering: Fatal Gravity. My friend and I would play the coliseum stage in the Dreamcast Soul Calibur constantly because it was huge, making accidental ring outs a little more difficult. We had (and still have)...

"Also, if I buy some of the SC1 songs, can I replace the Star Wars music with it? It's so corny when one of the Death Star stages comes up and suddenly... STAR WARS." Unfortunately, you can't change the music in the Star Wars stages, nor can you select the Guilty Gear-esque track from floor 60...

Well, shoot. That's what I was afraid of. I'll have to nonchalantly add one to the next import order I make. Thanks for the replies and kind offers, though.

Let's see if I can word this without confusing anyone (namely, myself): Does anyone know of a way to purchase Japanese Microsoft Points on a US system? I have a Japanese account set up however it seems the only way I can add points to it is to purchase an Japanese redemption card from an...

Picked mine up for $33.99. Hopefully Buy.com won't have the same issues with a Visa gift card that Gamestop had. Thanks for the Buy.com/Google Checkout tip, OP!
