I'm getting both 360 and PC versions.

[DoubleAA]

sorry for all the misspells im bad at it.

*sighs and sets barrels and containers of highly combustable fuel neatly around the thread.....*

[Flamingo99]

If you have a PC that can run this game smoothly, then get it for PC. If not... It depends on what you think is more important, a bigger communitiy of players (PS2), or pretty graphics (Xbox 360).

[DoubleAA]

i would go for the amount of people for sure.

[DoubleAA]

hey when you get the game be sure to look me up my name will be Nas and i will be a hunter

[tiki-man]

360, and who knows the 360 could have a big community to...but not as big as ps2 and pc combine lol

[jarek99]

For those worried about the 360 not having as many players, it wont be a big deal. Sure, there will be more people playing ps2/pc since they are linked. But theres still going to be thousands of people playing 360. Imagine the ps2/pc having 10,000 users online at once versus the 360 only having 7,000 users online at once. Its not THAT big of a deal. You arent going to play with all 7,000 of them anyway... The 360 will have probably fewer servers, but theyll be just as populated as the ps2/pc servers. I've played enough online games to know that you wont even notice a difference.

[kassy]

Have the JP PC version, getting either the NA or EU PC version, haven't decided which yet.

^ good quote for you, DoubleAA.

Also, If the PC/PS2 version gets too large, it would be seperated into two worlds like the JP version. In this, an unlikely event could result in a weird situation.

cruddy example: PC/PS2 population: 160k. total universe max: 90k. Unlikely 50% separation: 60k on World 1 & 2.
360 population: 80k. Seperate world not required. The result would be more 360 universes full.

Anyways, as someone said, a good deal of populated universes would make the community.

[Oji_Retta]

OMFG...OMFG! this again

[Tystys]

Yes, deal with it Oji, you're going to be seeing tons of these until the game releases....only like 30-something odd days until we're all too busy playing the god damn game XD

[Zaiden]

Honestly, I'm going for the PS2 Version. Not only is my PC very bad for games, I also don't own an Xbox 360. Plus, for a game like this, especially for the single player part, a PS2 Controller feels right at home. Just hope the graphics aren't too bad...

[VioletSkye]

Preordered the PC version http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Yeah I know-just so frustrating to see it pop up over and over. Its like beating a dead animal...oh well, I'll just try to ignore these threads no matter how mad they make me from now on.

[Tystys]

Well, if the mods REALLY had a big problem with it, they'd be enforcing it much more. Really, it's not much a problem...it's more of a personal pet peeve.

[Tetsuro]

I preordered the PC version, but who knows I may switch it to 360 before release if more of my freinds decide to get it for 360.

[Alexandrious1]

Preordered PC version.

I got too many preorders -_- NWN2, FFXI Collectors, FFXI Collectors strat guide, FF3 DS, SC:Ghost, LoZ:TP Wii Version. ugh.

I better mark all these, specially PSU, I dont want to forget that one.

[Tetsuro]

^SC: Ghost was cancelled some time ago http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

[Ronin1of47]

My Computer would die if i even trien and well im more comfortable with a Controller and my tv

[darthplagis]

well being a fully grown man with fully grown hands (nearly 10" span) a PS2 pad is torture in my hands its like a nes pad with more buttons LOL so aside from that minor set back (im playing JP offline PS2 now) im getting 360.

not for any other reason than its my prefered console. no arguments here about fanboys or comunity issues (if u played PSO EU servers you know a dead comunity) or even graphics (TBH i was shocked with the PS2 graphics). i have my 360 and ps2 side by side (well vented) and they dont try to kill each other (ok the 360 likes getting too hot but...) so why should we gamers (unless its quake LOL).

[Tystys]

I didn't quite get all of what you said, Darthplagis, but I got the jist of it, and I agree, XD

[krayzie]

same here the ps2 controller is to small for my hands don't get me wrong the ps2 has some good games but this is why i not going to get a ps3 because the controller is the same size, the xbox and xbox 360 controllers are good size for me i remember when those damn micro controllers for the GC,ps2,xbox, all of my friends had them and it was hell trying to play.

[jarek99]

xbox users 20
pc users 19
ps2 users 5

This isnt anything scientific, but if these results were a small sample of the pso population. Thatd be like having 200,000 xbox360 users and 240,000 ps2/pc users.

edited for math!

[Tystys]

I hope there's an extra zero in 200,0000, jarek, O_O...that # sounds way too huge for me

[Saner]

you can add more poll options than 3.

you should have included a PS2 + Xbox360 option.

[darthplagis]

sorry if my rant confused you Tystys, im just trying to calm a coming fanboy flame war as these type of threads usually end up that way. also the D pad on PS2 pad is in wrong place.

200K users is decent enough for me and giving time zones thats a pretty wide spread mob.

[Zarbolord]

It's nice that so many people play http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif
I want to have a positive view on online games, this will be my first, hmmmm....

[Tystys]

Nah, it's alright. I got the jist of it, so it's cool, XD.

[Weak]

I'm going PC because I have a great computer for gaming, and a USB PS2 Knock-off controller that works pretty well.

[Zarbolord]

I hope most people play at an affordable time, I like to sleep at night (I'm an early bird, even if I go to sleep at 2 in the morn, but I prefer getting some sleep). We'll see with that.

[Tystys]

Knowing me, once the weekends start, I'll be playing into the wee hours of the mornin'.

[Weak]

I have lots of free time in the day as well as at night.. I'll be playing for hoourrrss.

[Scirrocco]

PC version. I have wireless internet on my pc, and i don't want to have to buy an adapter for Ps2. I'll probably have to buy a game pad though. For more action oriented online games i like a gamepad.

[Zarbolord]

I can't wait for the christmas holidays, PSUs deco will rock with that, I hope they give us pressies and we get to see saint rappies http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif
Back to subject, I'm going PC too. I need a new one, hmm, how's a brand new Toshiba Laptop looking, I think it should do http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif
I don't think PSU would work on a basic Windows 98, lol.

[darthplagis]

well im my wife's full time carer (she has a nerve problem so cant get out the house much) so i technically have all the time in the world. LOL but seriously i think i'll be fighting her to play (if thats the case i'll just pop my ps2 one on.)

[Tystys]

O_o? Your wife is going to play PSU too? XD

[Zarbolord]

And to say that my parents absolutly HATE video games.

[darthplagis]

yeah probably, she likes the girly races, and that unit with the hearts she will go loopy for that (she loved the heart combo on the GC).

[Zarbolord]

You may make a combo, I bet that they'll add a male and female combo armor with heartsa nd stuff. She getting a newm, beast or human?

[shadynook]

360

[Tystys]

Maybe he's trying to keep some of the better info to himself, XD

[Dark_Goru]

360 because my pc sucks and I don't have an internet disk for my PS2, plus 360 has voice chat(although that means I'll have to listen to 12 olds all day stupid xbox). Heck I'll go and buy a USB keyboard while I'm at it so I can type and talk!!!

[Link00seven]

Even with the disappointing news of the server separation (which is still BS...read my post in another thread), I will be getting the Xbox 360 version of PSU. I read an article in EGM and I am so pumped for this game!

[Sexy_Raine]

PS2 or PC. I don't care for the 360

[Weak]

This game is so close to release, and yet it feels so far away. It drives me nuts.

Is it cancelled permantely this time so I can take it off the preorder list at my gamestore? =(

[jungleking45]

ps2, the few the proud, the stubborn http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

[McLaughlin]

Xbox 360.

The many, the great, the hated >_>

[solidsolo]

360 all the way

[Yusaku_Kudou]

Wow, lots more Xbox 360 votes that I thought there would be. I'll be on 360, too.

It was canceled for Xbox/PS2 and moved to "next-generation console development."

[MAGNUShunter]

Wow!
Talk about a paradigm shift!
You all know where I will be. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

[tomkat492]

360 all the way, woot...gotta love voice chat, I still think it would be cool if they had a few severs that were connected, that way ps2 can use their usb mics, and pc can use the many many ones that can be bought for comp.
