Well, it's been a long road, but Platinum is finally available. She is 560 MSP and like the other downloads comes with all the alternate colours and the unlimited version.

I gotta say though, as a PS3 BlazBlue player I am totally unhappy because the store is down! First time I've been affected to a point where I want to cross my arms and pout :p

Also, System Version 1.03 is available to download as well and is needed to play ranked matches. I haven't been keeping up with the changes but hopefully they are favorable to Lambda. Good news is that it seems that PS3 players will still be able to receive the balance patch even though PSN is down.

Curse you CS2 Tao, I cannot play you for the life of me.

Wait...like now now? Fuck, I might have to use this excuse to rekindle my interest in the game for another week or so!

After I fought against a Platinum I went "Yep, this is an anime fighter."

I don't know whether your being a fighting game snob about that or not. "

Damn those Carl CS2 combos, holy hell. On the flip side, Squirrel combos are straightforward and easy.

Platinum seems a bit complicated with item specific combos. This will keep me going for a while before AH3.

Platinum has been quite fun to play so far. She'll be a good sub for my new and improved Noel!

I am not.  Nothing against anime fighters, she just has a complete mahou shoujo vibe.Speaking of anime fighters, I really wish Melty Blood came to XBL and PSN. "

Along with the CS2 update. Mmm... Just in time as I set everything (well... Excluding my PS3) up in my house. The time has come again for me to don the fedora and scheming grin.

@JJOR64: 

melty blood is awesome from the few  time i have played it

i wanted to get this game for awhile, might pick it up

I hope they print a disk with everything in it.

" @Sasran: The question about the patch, if the patch servers are enabled where is the 1.03 patch for BB:CS on PS3 I haven't seen it at all :| maybe it's just me... "

7 bucks for one character? Holy shit.

7 bucks for one character? Holy shit.

The original game was like $40 though. Measure that up against Capcom's $60 MvC3 with $5 a pop for a character and lack of features, it doesn't seem so bad.

@Sasran: Ah, thought so thanks anyway. I hope Aksys does release it case I want to get some practice in 1.03 AKA BB:CS2

@Sasran: Hopefully this should help
  

  From the looks of it, BBCS2 patch (Patch 1.03) has upped several characters (Noel YAY!) and replaced other stuff. Also it seems to have sped up characters (not sure if all...) and combos are, well, combos..

I wish they had a demo for her. The other DLC characters are my favorites, and I'm kind of interested in Platinum but... I also kind of feel like I have all the characters I need. What difference can one character make anyway? What are the odds that I'll like her more than my current favorites?

Finally got a chance to try out the patch last night. Noticed that someone edited the majority of the Challenges because a bunch of the old combos just won't work anymore. Still unsure if I feel like spending money on Platinum, though.

By any chance does anyone know when 1.03 for BBCS(PS3) is going to be available?

I just got this 2 days ago. Really fun fighter. Story mode is agonizing, but I'm half done now.

So originally the patch 1.03 was due to be released on the 12th of May, if so WHERE THE HECK IS IT?!?!?! it's the 15th and NOTHING has yet to ask me to patch my game :|
