<P align=left><FONT face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">SEGA of America have started hyping up to the iminent release of <EM>Phantasy Star Online: Blue Burst</EM> for PC on their website.</FONT></P><P align=center><FONT face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><IMG height=173 alt="Used from SEGA.com" hspace=0 src="/uploads/psobb_usart_3.gif" width=509 align=baseline border=1></FONT></P><P align=left><FONT face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Along with their recent alteration of the way the <A href="http://www.sega.com/home.php">website</A> and <A href="http://www.sega.com/games/game_temp.php?game=psobb&amp;id=hp_grl">game page</A> looks, they've also added in a new poll to the frontpage of the american website testing SEGA fanatics of their knowledge of the new <EM>PSO</EM> game by asking its full name! Of course, you and i both know its <EM>Blue Burst</EM>, as do the majority of the SEGA website viewers, however, when i say majority, that does mean that there have been others voting for the subtitles of 'Ragol Nights' (Sounds like a Musical!), 'Quest for Glory' (Well, is very action-esque!), and 'Blue Birds' (I'm not gonna speak my mind...).</FONT></P><P align=left><FONT face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">The game also tops SEGA of America's websites 'Coming Soon' release schedule that appears on the frontpage of the american website, which means its the next game SEGA plan to release, however whats worrying is the fact the other game on the list is 'Condemned' - a game recently announced for release on all next generation consoles! Well, i'm sure they're just teasing us, hopefully adding a few more games to that list soon for all other SEGA fans! They havent added <EM>Universe</EM> to the list... hmm...</FONT></P><P align=left><FONT face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Anyways, SEGA of America seem to be doing a nice job of hyping up the games audience on their website, so lets just hope it gets the attention it deserves. However, what we would like to know SEGA is a release date and how you're going to release it. When are you gonna let us in on your secrets!!</FONT></P>

What I find exciting is that the platform given is PC download. If it's only available like this, I can't see why we wouldn't just be able to download it as well. It evens makes me wonder why there wouldn't be a European website release at the same time.

Very true, but if SEGA of Europe were to offer it as a game download, it'd have to be available as a multi-language download, otherwise it'd be unfair, not that releasing it in Europe last is unfair by any means

As they'd have to setup a new payment system, etc.

I expect it will be sold in shops, just downloadable as another choice, if they're setting it up alike in Japan...

Thats possible.....

But, that is odd for them to do..
