I've been waiting for this for quite sometime, this will be my first holiday event on PSO, because I just missed Easter last time. I'm glad to hear that we will finally be getting a new quest to play too. This is gonna be great! I can't wait until October 11th!

*Off-Topic: Yahoo! I'm finally an knight! ^.^

WOO-HOO - about time SEGA. And I thought the Gamecube was gonna get shafted with no more Holiday Quests.

Guess I'll have to create some more characters on my PSO+ file as I currently only have that HL active (poor Klaschka and Scan).

Yep, this is great news no doubt, and i may be going off on one here, but it seems to me as if all of these sudden Gamecube updates are coming in at a time where Blue Burst figures are falling... Is Gamecube PSO becoming the most played version again? Maybe... it could easily be the case with the English version of PSO: BB & US/EU Gamecube PSO.

Great news for GC players , but is anything going to happen for XBox 1&2? We recently had a lobby decoration change for Autumn...

Well as a Nintendo fan and Gamecube owner, I can only hope that the Xbox....BURNS IN HELL!!!! :evil:

N0, seriously, it would be great for the Xbox owners to also get the Halloween Quest - spread the goodness.

I was a Gamecube owner until my brother tripped over the controller cables and bought it crashing down

The only way i'm able to tell you if there are any updates coming in the way of the Xbox is if it also happens on the Japanese Xbox server, and according to Sonic Teams updates, the last thing that happened on the Japanese Xbox server was on the 30th Janurary 2005! So obviously they've stopped service on the Xbox in Japan, hence giving me no way of checking if there are any updates coming your way in EU/US versions of PSO-X. Do you know of any websites Sonic Team update telling you of Xbox server maintenances? I don't!

If you've just got the Autumn Lobby decorations though... hmm... well there's a chance! Let me know if it happens and i'll post about it

Sure will do. I have to admit Xbox 1&2 seems like the least popular version of PSO :S
