Player vs Player? I dont think so, that would be very un-pso-like, IMO. Plus SEGA havent mentioned anything of the sort at all as far as I know.

Well I might be able to have access to the 360 beta. So if anyone else has a 360 I might be around. Its not my 360 so the times I will show up will likely be random.
Though I dont have long to wait for the release anyway.
PSU Characters:
Azel, lvl 90 (FT lvl 10)
Miriya KadreshiOrta, lvl 32 (FigG lvl 2)
Collette, lvl 28 (force lvl 5/hunter lvl 5)
