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.

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

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. >_<
