We all know how PSN has made developers lose major money since the three-week downtime struck the whole world, of course some more than others, but Namco comments on how their games lost money, as well as some dedicated fans contacting them about the outage & what's going to happen next.

"Rather than just Tekken, the company as a whole have been affected because of the PSN down time," he said. "Especially for example [Street Fighter head Ono-san, we heard he couldn't release the download content he originally planned to because of the down time.

May I ask why you've bestowed such a useful post upon me?

idk man...it deemed appropriate at the time. Anyways good post

lol they should stfu, dlc´s r just a rip-off, some years ago u bought a game n got all of this game, now they always comes with a dlc just to get even mopre money.. i mean the ps3 games r very expensive anyways, and then again 10-20$ for a dlc.. n now they r crying that they lost a little money, but they arent talking about how much they already earned... earlier games were created that gamers have fun, now if a game is good they just release a new tiutle every year, add some functions , dont care about fun, only the money...

I lold at the flying panda in the movie teaser.
