      I did manage to make a subscription... the page said the information should be mailed back to me, but it has been 40 minutes and no sign of the email.. should i be concerned?

      Just though i'd let everyone know that, with my regular non .jp email, i could do the registration, but the email with the username and password never arrived.

      When i did it for the third time with my .jp email, the username and id arrived in the exact same instant... now only if i had the client.. sigh... :P

      Use Windows 2000 or Windows XP's IME thingy then change language to Japanese and input mode from direct input to Katakana or Hiragana.

      Any multi language operating system, such as windows 2000 or windows xp should be okay

      I got my ID, no problems there... but where we will be able to download it from? Anyone know the URLs of those magazine sites?

      The download will be out on the 21st of may, and will no doubt be available from the psobb website, http://psobb.jp

      I sure hope so!

      The problem is that PSOW is reporting that the download will be available at the magazines sites:
      If you wish to participate, you will need the client disk which will be included in the June 4.18 issue of the Japanese Dorimaga magazine of the June 8 issue of the Japanese Techwin magazine. Their sites will also start offering exlusive downloads with no charge.

      Is PSOW wrong, then?

      No matter what, if anyone knows those magazines websites, please post the URLs...

      Slightly. It's the 5/21 issue of Dremaga (today) and the 6/8 Issue of Techwin. The download starts "At the Beginning of June". No more info than that given by ST at this time.

      Maybe someone who gets the magazines could set up a torrent or something? That'd be uber cool.

      OK, I got the First email, registered finally (after much difficulty I might add), and got the second email. Does anyone know what the second one says? I use hotmail and it just appears as a bunch of gibberish, even with the language packs installed.

      It says that they will offer FREE downloads on their website. You don't need the disc.

      it says:
      Their sites will also start offering exlusive downloads with no charge.
      meaning the download will be from the magazine sites and the psobb site.

      I couldn't get it to accept my email either, then later I tried again and it worked... I think it might have been because i was using the babelfish translator the first few times.
