I found this on Channel 4 Teletext p375 a while ago and so I decided to share it with you:

Based on the few facts we so far have, undoubtably the most exciting prospect of the Next Generation is Nintendo embracing the concept of online gaming.

It is doing it first with the DS and it marks perhaps the most important turnaround ever at the company.

Japanese online games haven't evolved one iota since Phantasy Star Online - hopefully that's about to change.

I was just reading about it in a magazine and although it's not usually my thing, it looks pretty cool.

It's set in the wild west, and can use guns, melee weapons and bow and arrows, and you can fight on horseback (like Zelda, w00t!) but your horse can die (which makes it more realistic), which is really bad if you're in the middle of nowhere because you'll have to walk to the next town.

Anyway, does anyone else think they might get it?

post how many pds u want for um brella or parasol

What's your source on the thing about online mode of PSU taking place in the Algol system? Everyone else is reporting the Grall system.

This game comes out soon, and i dunno about anyone else, but ive been waiting for it for years now, and its about bloody well time! Gets released in October i think...

Anyways, IGN have loads of movies showing it off, and they've even got a tour of N-Space's offices (The people making the game), and i wanna work there. Theyve got video arcades in the reception for crying out loud!

Anyways i was just wondering who else i gonna get it/look into getting it. ^_^

first off i feel sorry for the person that buys this
and second isn't that against pso tos?

alright, so i'm new and i need to make a first post. and i decided that i didn't want to talk about hackers and crap because all i really play is offlline, cool huh?

so i'll turn into something cool at least.

Tell about your character. i don't mean, tell about all of your characters in some long stinkin' list that never ends. i mean.. the one. your big time. your head honcho.

like so.

i got PSO two weeks ago, having never heard of the game beforehand. i gather that it's a game designed for the younger crowd, but just like trix, you can't the kids have all the fun. i'm 23 as of next week and still love it. and my girlfriend plays it with me.
alright, so my character is a Fomar. One of those wizard boys, but i ditched the chintzy hat and gave him the cool spikadoscious hair and made it white. then picked this choice green outfit that he can use.

at the moment, he's beaten all of normal and some of hard for episode 1. He has every magic except that stinkin one right beside Grants. Gotta find out what that is. Hint hint.
He's at level 41, comin up on 42. i'm so proud of the little guy. his mag looks like a blue fish, i don't like it. It's Naraka, and it only has two photon blasts in it at the moment. what's with that? i've been feeding it like a sumgun.
he has secret gear equipped and is using a choice "Master's Buster". I'd like to get a new weapon soon. I might look into getting hold of Kireek's Soul Eater. I don't know if I'd be able to use it though.
And I have 100,000 meseta. Still haven't ventured into Episode II yet. I might after I beat hard. It'd be nice to just go into Episode 2 with nice equipment and such.
So there you have it. I don't know if I'm doing horrible for two weeks in or what, but don't flame me homefries. I'm old and smartish.

oh yeah. he's from viridia.
