I think I'll pick this up on PSP anyway, so it won't matter that much to me if the EU version of BBCS gets the upgrade a bit late... But then again, if its happenin around the same time, i mite just not bother with the PSP version

Either way, i am gettin ma Platinum

Looks like the USA won't have to wait much longer for CS2! There's no exact date but, this is pretty reassuring.

It's basically what we expect: balance changes, mission mode changes, improved netcode, etc. are free, but Platinum will cost money (though you can fight her online for free).

Press Release:

A patch for BlazBlue: Continuum Shift is coming out this May! The patch will contain balance changes to match the arcade version of BlazBlue: Continuum Shift II AND enable Platinum for purchase at $7.99 or 560 MSP. Hit the jump for the full press release.

Certainly looking hopeful for the PAL versions to get the upgrade around May as well...

I'm so contemplating buying Platinum. I bought Makoto for the heck of it (she's a squirrel <333) just coz I had the $50 gift card from my birthday.

I don't really care so much for Valkenhayn.

[Evil_Gotenks]

Lmao! I take it thats an unblockable reset?

[xOmniCloudx]

I hate how patches have to be paid for. They should call it DLC if it's something you have to pay for as patches are free. I would hope they went the Capcom SFIVAE route and gave the option of disc or "patch" option as I much rather own the game. That's actually the reason why I didn't get CS the like I planned to since I heard about the patch/CSII and was hopeful that there would be a disc based version.

The fact they've been giving the PSP and 3DS (and obviously the NGP when it comes) CSII was just annoying to me. Not because I don't want it on handheld but because the console owners only have a patch option and with that being the only option on console, they will also need CS (the outdated version of the game) to even be able to play CSII on consoles. They can't make CSII have a download option for at least PSN if MS has an issue with size or w/e?

[Tofma]

there hasnt been any official word about whether the patch itself will even cost or not (though mori [or some other guy from arcsys, cant remember] originally said it was gonna be free. but that wasnt official)

platinum however will be 7.99$

Disc release would be nice. But if the patch really is free i dont see any reason for arcsys to do it for ps3/xbox

The CS board on gamefaqs said that they would charge. Hopefully that isn't the case. Isn't Platinum actually apart of CSII as a standard character?
