Woooohooo I finally got one first...it's my Birthday....

LOL, nice

It's up, but it's gotta be the dumbest beta in history.

Here is the description.

Details from the dashboard:: Thank you for downloading the trial version of Phantasy Star Universe online multiplayer mode. This is a limited time demo which will grant you a temporary GUARDIANS License, which will expire at 12:00AM on Wednesday October 18th (* adjusted for local time). With this demo you will be able to create your own character, form a party of up to six adventurers, and explore the wonders of the Gurhal System along with your fellow Guardians. You are required to have a Xbox Live Gold Membership in order to play this demo. Also due to the test nature of this demo, there will be a limited number of concurrent users who will be allowed to play at any given time. For specific dates and restrictions please check out our website at www.phantasystaruniverse.com.

So, it expires on the 18th? Which actually means it expries on the 17th. So if you want to play it, you have till Monday night. Since Xbox Live is down all day on the 17th! LOL

And I'll still give it a try, even though that does kinda suck.

It has great sound effects. Every time I try to connect it makes a fart noise to tell me connection to the server failed.

I don't blame you for trying it at all. I just think it's the dumbest way to do a beta that I've ever heard of. They should have gave it to people on the 18th, let it run till the 25th or so.

I dunno, this demo feels like I'm playing a very dated game. I'm very confused and the demo is very boring.

Hell yeah its boring...I'm sorry to say, but I'd rather hook my dreamcast up, and play that version....The graphics are crap on this. And for some reason the demo keeps freezing after you get to level two of the building...

Also why is it loading every damn move you make....The dreamcast version didn't even do that...and it looked better....

This is not a purchase....Sega needs to scrap this mess all together...and start working on Shenmue 3.

Re: Xbox Live Marketplace and Live Arcade Discussion Part II

You know, I have to say... the demo's and online play make XBL Gold very well worth it... FOR NOW. If PS3 can do this just as well AND have it free... that's going to be tough to beat...

I would love a Shenmue 3. Even better, they should re-release Shenmue 1 and 2 over here in the US if they ever release Shenmue 3. I still have Shenmue 2 on the XBOX, but haven't played it in a long time.

Sony will have alot to deal with, more than this really, and trying to keep up for free, either will hurt them, or they'll reneg on that sooner or later

I couldn't agree more. I swear I have read somewhere (can't remember) that Sony will be charging a $1.00 for demo's though

.
Has anybody else heard this?

Re: Xbox Live Marketplace and Live Arcade Discussion Part II

If Phantasy Star didn't charge a monthly fee I would consider it. I made the mistake of taking the tutorial....and....I poked out my own eye...

BTW this game looks like Xenosaga III

Okay it's official: worse demo ever
