My Opinion: PSO Compaired with PROs & CONs - tkhbecker - 08-11-2005

I finally got moved to an area that supported Broadband. So I bought PSO for Xbox but was disappointed when I found out that I still had to buy a Hunters license on top of my XBox Live Subscription every month.
So I’ve done a little Comparison with "Pros" & "Cons" between the 3 systems I have.
Once again this is only “My Opinion”…

Nintendo’s Game Cube:
Monthly Cost: $8.95/mo PSO
1st Year: $131.39 (One year + BBA $23.99)
PROs: A lot of people still play both US and JP, $8.95/mo to play, Snapshots, GBA Downloadable games in “Fake in Yellow” quest, Offline gameplay
CONs: only 4 characters per memory unit, separate BB/DU adapter, Keyboard needed for faster chatting,

Microsoft’s XBox:
Monthly Cost: $14.90/mon ($8.95/mo PSO + $5.95/mo XBL)
1st Year: $178.80
PROs: Keyboard not needed if you have an XBL compatible Headset, Possibility of 48 Character (12 characters per 4 names) on HD, Offline gameplay
CONs: Not too many people play often enough, Extra cost for XBL Subscription,

PC PSO BB
Monthly Cost: $8.95/mo
1st Year: $107.40
PROs: Free download, a “new” episode, Server Based Characters, Snapshots,
CONs: only 4 characters per account, Online Only,

That’s all I can think of for now, but I may edit later.

well man the gamecube has a free server so if you have a gamecube get it for that.

Free Server? It wouldnt let me log on until I bought a hunter's license? How do you get to the free server?

Not allowed to discuss that here

you enter in your dns code you got to register your game first.

You'd better edit that IP out before Kefka or someone hands out a warning for that, dude. >_> Although I'd say we should be allowed to discuss it here since it has about as many people now as the ST servers... well, you still can't break the rules. >_<

OK I put it on the GC list as well. Thought it was done on the original post.
