Yes, my copy is disc-based. However I have no issues playing offline or online in a room if a friend is hosting. I get a "network error" if I search for a Ranked Match, attempt to enter the Global Colosseo when there's no one there, or if I manage to get into the Colosseo because there are players present, I get a network error if I try to enter a match with anyone there. I don't play or own any other online games for my ps3 at the moment. Soul Calibur 5 is the main reason why I still have the console. At this point, I think it's either my system and how it's interacting with the PSN through my router, or it's my account it's self and I've been soft banned somehow...I really wish the Devs still cared about the game.
