Who is gonna buy Phantasy Star Online when it comes out. I am having doubts because of the expense of playing online. I don't know wheter or not it is worth it for offline only. Which moves me to my second point. How come America get free acess to the internet via sega net but we don't. Unless Sega sorts some kind of deal with Bt then this is very unlikely. The bills are gonna mount up and unless you are stinkin rich it is gonna be alot for the bill payers. Is the offline mode any good anyway? I am not gonna get it unless something is done about free acess to the internet. It just seems not worth the hassel.

Is anyone gonna buy it here?

At the moment if you were to play online for 4 hours a week (which quite frankly is a lot) and say 2 of these were at the weekend and two were after 6 mon till fri, then it'd cost you £3.00 a week maximum. This'd work out to only £13 or £14 a month, but you wouldn't be online for 4 hours a week playing PSO anyway I'd imagine.

I agree we do need an unlimited Internet dreamcast access for about £10 a month, but at the moment we'll have to wait. PSO will be worth every penny. Believe me.
