...or does everyone who's anyone at the moment seem to be wearing Vigolis CAST parts, or those Neudaiz trousers? I've seen them a lot more often than I haven't.

It'd be nice to see some variety, there are a lot of clothes on offer, with more on the way, and people should use their imaginations! =/

Walk up to the Linear line station on G-Colony 4th Floor on the Xbox 360 servers, and you'll see what I mean.

It's nice to have not seen a million and one S3PH1R07Hs though. That was hilarious on PSO. Everyone was a Squall, a Sephiroth, or a Gohan. Good times.

P.S. My cast just got called emo. =O

<strong>Universe debuts in a place far far away from the charts...</strong> <img src="/images/.jpg" alt="" width="8" height="8">
<font size="1">[ Lee_yoshi - Saturday, December 2 2006 ]</font>

<P><FONT face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Unfortunately, <EM>Phantasy Star Universe</EM>'s UK debut had no affect on the UK games charts whatsoever, charting outside of the UK Top 40. Why is this? Maybe because SEGA Europe also released the brand new Sonic the Hedgehog game on the sameday of which they've been advertising much more greatly, which debuted at #36 in the UK Top 40!</FONT></P><P><FONT face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><EM>Phantasy Star Universe</EM> did however debut in the Xbox360 Top 20 at #17 but again, failed to reach the Top 20 in the PlayStation2 &amp; PC software charts.</FONT></P><P><FONT face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Maybe we'll see a sharp increase in <EM>PSU</EM> purchases since release day when the charts are released for this coming week? But it's a sad day indeed.</FONT></P><P><FONT face=Arial>Just for comparison sake, <EM>Phantasy Star Universe</EM> debuted in the Japanese Top 10 straight in at #1 in the all formats chart selling over 120,000 copies, and lasted two weeks in the Top 10 charts, falling to #9 the week after selling another 20,000 copies of the game!</FONT></P>

Kinda a sub-topic of favorite video game, but single games asside, how about we go about naming your top 5 video game series...because I hate narrowing choices down to just one, lol.

And just for fun, favorite game from said series.

My top 5 are as follows, in no particular order:

Mega Man(<3 Capcom) - MegaMan X4
The Legend of Zelda - Ocarina of Time
Dynasty Warriors - Dynasty Warriors 4 Empires
Phantasy Star(Go figure) - Phantasy Star 4
Castlevania - Dawn of Sorrow

Well, my Xbox 360 died today so I need a gaming fix on the cheap pretty bad

I have a Dreamcast but it doesn't have any games or VMUs (I sold them all) - so to cut to the chase - does anyone know of cheap online stores that sell DC games and accesories (new or used).

I wouldn't mind getting hold of a usable copy of PSO v2 too - if thats even possible.

Well, it seems official. Don't know if this is old, or new news, but Broomop is onto PSU. I've also seen a LOT of videos on YouTube detailing ways to hack the game... seems it's gotten easier. I thought ST would have fixed this by now...

Just got this today and played the first couple of levels, and must say that it is absolutely lovely! A terrific fun, relaxing and peaceful platform game. I recommend to everyone!

Maybe I'm searching in the wrong places, but I'm pretty sure CAST is an anacronym, i.e. the letters stand for something? I've been looking on PSU related sites everywhere for the answer.

Best offer so far is from Google who say "Co-operative Agent for Specific Tasks" but they don't say whether or not this is CAST in relation to PSU or CAST in relation to the motor industry, military, supply teaching and so on.

It's bugging me so much that I'm now openly admitting my newbiness and asking:

In PSU does CAST really stand for anything?
If it does, what is the PSU definition?

Has anyone said that too loudly in a shop yet... i kno I have... and i deliberatly say it now...

what... i really do want a Wii... you could say I need one!

(this is not spam... this is just a humerous way of seeing who actually wants to buy one when they are realeased)
