... but it might be a bit pricy.

Found this at planet xbox:


Phantasy Star Online: Episode I & II has been the subject of more than a few debates on the Xbox side of things, with questions on pricing, online features and such coming up. In a conference recently held, Microsoft announced those very details. According to Microsoft, the game will ship during early March for $39.99, $10 less than the NGC version. Moreover, the game will require players wishing to play online with the game on Xbox Live to buy a Hunter’s License from Sega for $8.95 per-month.
As for specific features, well it seems the Xbox version will support Dolby 5.1 audio and HDTV. Moreover, the game will have downloadable content when Sonic Team completes it.

I very much doubt that MS and Sega will have released prices for games that aren't coming out, eh?

Anyway, an extra $8 a month to play it online seems a bit steep. Sega managed to have it online for free on the DC, so I don't see why they can't do the same for Xbox, especially as MS has all the infrastructure in place already...

I'm confused..

I'm also laughing at the 'According to Microsoft, this will be $10 less than the GCN version'. Nutcases ;).
