The spot is short at only 15 seconds, but it shows off various aspects of the game, including chatting features. Plus, it features super-adorable Mizukawa Asami, who can be seen here ( http://www.sonicteam.com/pso/movie4.html (http://www.sonicteam.com/pso/movie4.html)) Asami-chan was born in Osaka on July 24th, 1983, making her an amazing 18 years old! She likes drawing, and knows ballet and calligraphy. Plus, her blood type is A! A is for All-Right!
Unfortunately, Sega of America hasn't aired a stateside commercial for the game. Still, the US version of PSO managed to sell over 70,000 copies in its first day of sales! You can't help but wonder, though, what the game would've sold if Asami-chan were filling up primetime ad slots... (look up for GODFREE on PSO) "
