wait? what? DJMAX Global VIP Club?

[LittLeLives]

I'm guessing Global VIP Club means that instead of getting every country its own service, they're making a Miscellaneous Service for everyone without Platinum Crew thus far.

Happy, happy Platinum Christmas indeed.

If I have to buy another card for this new PC, I will rage.

LOL this.

Plat crew announcement is probably the best bday present I could have asked for this year. Thanks PM

[Equinox!]

Announcement is cool and all, but now I have to cross my fingers and pray really hard that my arcade puts this machine online when no other machine in there is.

YES! YES!

Hmmm, making it global would explain the long delay in Plat Crew. That could explain why I felt as if the lawsuit was settled, but they still weren't releasing Plat Crew.

[Equinox!]

I just got an idea...
Assuming these things use standard ethernet jacks for internet access...

I could presumably bring my netbook to the arcade, use my phone to tether internet via usb, then enable internet connection sharing on the netbook to get the machine online.

Possible?

(Edit: I know connecting a device that way is possible having done it a million times, but I don't know whether the machine itself has to be updated in order to utilize the global network, etc)

I would predict that yeah, it would just be a standard Ethernet jack, along with maybe some Platinum Crew account settings in the operator menu.

But Platinum Crew does do data downloading, as evidenced by Thor and Beyond the Future evidently being downloaded from the net.

They could pull a konami and make you get a Platinum Router

That's also true, I'm just curious as to how much data would have to be downloaded. I'm just wondering just to see if I can get some makeshift connectivity on the machine upon PC release. But yeah, we'd need more details.

That would be epic gay.

Pretty sure Mike Yum said somewhere that it wouldn't require any special hardware.

I can confirm that all it needs is an ethernet cable in the back, near where the power cables are. If you have multiple machines in one place then you can also use a router to connect them all.

[Spiritsnare]

Your arcade definitely has to pay for it, though, prior to access (hohoho). PM Studios has your machine's ID (because your machine's a legitimate US machine); I assume the server allows machines to connect to the network based on which IDs have been marked as "paid for PlatCrew".

[Equinox!]

So assmuing that is all the case, it really is out of my hands to do anything and if the arcade buys the update, they would logically put it online too.
