just found this thought id post it, not sure how true it is as its been translated from some german site.

There have been a lot of rumors since Virtua Fighter 5 was announced for the Xbox 360. Would there be Xbox Live multiplayer or wouldn't there be? SEGA, at first, said: 'No, it wont', but today SEGA confirmed that the Xbox 360 version of Virtua Fighter 5 will indeed be featuring online multiplayer duels over Xbox Live.
And that's not all. The Xbox 360 version will feature the latest update in playmechanics from the Arcade version. Also, the Quest Mode has been expanded, with more CPU-opponents to fight with as well as more objects and articles to customize your character with. That's not all because the DOJO-mode will also be receiving an update on the Xbox 360 version. New functions have been added, like: rankings, training settings, throw- and defensive training as well as a feature to adjust the opponents health and position.
Probably the biggest improvement will be the addition of online multiplayer duels through Xbox Live. Players can compete 1-on-1 with any player from around the world. Players can choose from a total of 17 different characters, which are all individually customizable. Each character has four different costumes but more costumes can be unlocked by playing the Quest Mode. Release: Autumn 2007
 
Yep, 'confirmed' on xboxyde, a huge xbox site :) Should be good, microsoft must have laid down the money after seeing tekken go online!
 
Virtua Fighter 5 is awesome, I had it on the Playstation 3. Thankfully this is built on 'Board C' rather than 'Board B' like the PS3 version, so even in single-player it's the better revision.

Apparently Version C is coming on the PS3 in the autum, weather or not i believe it i don't know. And if that is possible, surely it is possible to patch the PS3 version like Motorstorm did?
As for the online, OXM where over seein AM2 last month and nothing was said, so i don't know if i believe 1 german site. And even then, they need to get it 105% spot on if not it will just suck, they will probably have to lock the fighting down by region imo.

TBH i don't think we will get confirmation till E3, but until then i will remain sceptical. Great game though :)

Yeap they said it was impossible because of the speeds of the moves, which i could understand. Though the mighty MS chequebook may have loosend their morals somewhat lol
