Only in the forrest? It sounds like the GC Version is the way to go. Oddly, with all the comments geared towards GC, the poll is at 3 for GC and 3 for Xbox. But havent heard anything posative about the Xbox yet, aside from the no slowdowns in forrest. But the forrest was just the first couple levels if i recall the DC Version correctly.

Im not too worried about PSO 3 yet. I just want to try out v2 and get back into the groove. Might even run into some old friends from the DC Version hehe

Damn i miss that game.

Quick question - What is the monthly fee for the GC PSO Servers? And is there a limit on # of characters for that fee?

2nd question- ive heard that some people will open a trade window, (hack?) and steal your inventory. Will this take equipped items and banked items also?

3rd question- i cant remember for the lfie of me what dropped spread needle..

4th question- Some info on the new player types in v2? I hear theres a femal android and hunter now?

Sorry for all the questions. I sound like a damn newb. lol.

<- *wishes he just kept his damn Dreamcast lol*

Btw Scared Rabbit, I used to use a pic of a lil white rabbit as my AV when I played Heavy Gear and was blowing everyone up hehe

was hunter-zero there though. Just wanted to comment on your sig. Awesome

			Aside from the Cost of XBOX LIVE in addition to the Phantasy Star Online Fee's, Which do you think is better? Feel free to post why here. I know for a fact that Xbox is a more powerful system, with dvd abd ethernet built in (even if you need a remote for the dvd to use it ). No mem cards needed either. But, from what i hear, hackers are amok in PSO. I also know for a fact that even with the BB Adapter, the GC is still cheaper, and probably less hackers. Let me know :huh

			Not as much slowdown with multiplayer mode with the xbox.

			the gamecube lags up in multiplayer? Im guessing its the video, like slowing down when there is too much junk on the screen?

			ya PSO on GCN lags up a bit in 4-player split screen when lots of stuff is goin on. The GCN game does have less hackers from what I hear (haven't been online w/ it). I hear the XBox one is just rampant w/ em. My vote is get the GCN one.

			I'm gonna cancel my xbox pso this month... I've had it for like 2 or 3 months... and I've been on once... and there was no one else on.

			whoa.. Xbox servers are empty? I remember on dreamcast it was flooded constantly, save a short 2 hour break between 4 and 6 am lol

			I own the Xbox version and have played it online for more than 150 hours. I vote Gamecube. Xbox has hackers all over the damn place. The only way cooler thing on the xbox version is the headset. Aside from that, everything else except multiplayer is better on GC. And i have never even played the GC version.

			Gamecube, although I haven't played the Xbox version, I haven't heard too many good things about it. Maybe Shitface can clarify, but I've heard with the headset thing, people blare music in the lobbies, which would be even more annoying than spamming IMHO. Also, don't forget PSO ep3 will be GC exclusive.

			GC ver only chugs in the Forest in 4-player. 3-player never slows down as far as I've played.

			xbox controller works fine for it, it's laid out like the dreamcast one was. With that said, I can't justify spending money on pso for a monthly fee, especially since none of my friends play anymore.

			Xbox Pros: -Voice Chat -Patchable (the shop dupe trick can no longer be performed on Xbox due to a patch that all players were forced to dload) -Less slowdown in 4 player multiplayer -Corruption is extremely uncommon due to the use of a hard drive instead of a memory card Cons: -Very empty servers -Regions separated (An American player cannot connect to the Euro or JP servers - this is probably the main reason for the emptiness of servers) -No Episode 3 link up yet -Less online content (No TTF!) GC Pros: -High population -All regions linked -Better graphics in Episode 2 than Xbox (Water effects/s-berrill's cloaking effect) -Episode 3 link-up -PSO Plus is available (some online quests playable offline and the shop dupe glitch is fixed) -PSO-Proxy is available for transferring screenshots to PC -I am on it Cons: -Unable to patch (Any glitches found cannot be fixed) -Higher chance of corruption -Duping is much more prolific than on Xbox -More hacked items (Due to the higher population on GC, the hackers target it more) -A keyboard is essential for chatting online They are both quite equal, but my vote goes with the Gamecube version as 2 members of my clan left the Xbox for GC and they were both DC veterans. I have also met many other old Xbox players who are now on Gamecube, but their opinions aren't as important to me

			You can get the HK/Japanese version of PSO for your computer. That one lets you host your own servers and stuff for free, and you don't need serials for it.
