I dont have any 360s... so if people can bring consoles, that would be awesome.

And would you guys rather have $10 or $20 for VF5?

don't have any 360's? all chalked up to red ring eh?

I'm not going to be able to get off work for this one...
Have fun.

I'll bring my 360's I told you I have 4 of them. But someone will need to supply me with extra VF copies.

I'll be bringing two VF5 discs.

Cool... This is the first VF5 tournament I've had in a LONG time... so I'm hoping we can get a decent turnout.

I hope so too. We should also have some gatherings to prepare for the tourney. Know anyone with an Xbox that can bring one? Mine is dead right now but I can bring copies of VF and some sticks. We need to this, seriously.

Hubbs just told me he can't make it... so we wont have his 4 360s... so I still need people to bring...

TVs too if you can. Hopefully no lag.

My Xbox is working now so I'll be able to bring it
