'the_importer' has once again gotten in contact with Ragol.co.uk, but this time with a rumour that may be a bit hard to swallow fully...
According to a source close to the man himself, Microsoft have teamed up with SEGA to bring Phantasy Star Online: Blue Burst to Microsoft's Xbox Live Arcade system in the near future (No doubt for the Xbox360). He also states the game will be free instead of using the Hunters License system that Phantasy Star Online has always utilised, and will be a free download for Xbox Live Gold Members. The game will also not link-up with the PC game (So you cannot play alongside one another on different systems).
Unreal for sure, and such a download would cost your Xbox360 Hard Drive around 1Gb's worth of space, as well as the fact that PSO would be going for free (No monthly cost), make this an all around highly doubtful future happening - But you never ever know! Aparently this is the reason that Phantasy Star Online, Episodes I & II wasn't a part of the Xbox360's backwards compatable line-up. Be sure to tell us what you think to this idea by posting in our forums.

Well, I could care less cause I don't have an xbox or anything like an xbox, and I don't plan on getting one.
Neither do I.My gamecube's fine with me.
