Sega announced on Friday that Virtual Fighter 5 for the Xbox 360 will feature online multiplayer, something the PS3 version lacked when it was originally released in February.

Available this fall on Xbox 360, Virtual Fighter 5 will ship with some newly enhanced features including two-player versus mode via Xbox Live, leaderboard stats, and controller rumble.
The 360 version also includes new play modes, fighter customizations, and the chance to win in-game money to purchase digital goods at an in-game shop.
"For a lot of very good reasons, Virtua Fighter 5 is regarded as the deepest and most revered fighting game available on next generation consoles", Sega said in a statement. "Bringing Virtua Fighter 5 to the Xbox 360 will not only capture an entirely new audience, but will allow gamers to show their Virtua Fighter skills online against friends and foes".
Without getting our hands on a review copy, it's looking like VF 5 for 360 is the version to get assuming you haven't already for PS3. Furthermore, the news is a bit damaging to perceptions of the PS3 given that it costs more and features less on Sony's box than on the 360. Of course, one must factor the time-value of money too as PS3 owners have had their hands on this little gem for quite some time now. You decide what that's worth.
