I think I may wait to get the game untill I can pick it up in the $40.00 range at a store or ebay. Anyone else doing the same? I would buy it at full price if I could afford full price and $10.00 a month after , but doing it this way I will get 3 months for $60.00 , being they give the first month for free. I would've also picked it up for 60.00 if they had a way offline to use weapons online being it's not just a waste to play offline. I know their is a story , but truth I doubt be that intresting to pay 60.00 for the story offline game. I haven't rulled out game from buying it on launch though either I'm just waiting try beta and see if worth it.

Xbox makes this game the best being at least can use a headset. I played Japanese demo for ps2 and i'm curious what xbox 360 is to it.

no way.


not waiting for a price drop.


the price wouldn't drop until maybe 6 months at least.


that's crazy talk.


it's worth 50-60 bucks because it's basically 2 games in one anyways but if you are only getting it for offline then whatever.

And just to say 360 games drop from 60.00 to 50.00 pretty fast. You could already buy it at amazon.com for 56.99 and you get free shipping and no tax.

If you take into consideration the $9.99 per month it will cost to play the game and how long you may end up playing it, saving $10 or $20 off the initial cost is not going to be very substantial in the long run... However, if you had to wait 5 months to get that price drop, you really just saved about $60 or $70 I guess http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

It really doesn't take a game on multi console to drop and their always sales coming up and coupon from sites. I can probably get the game for $50.00 on day one if I want bad enough. Especially a game like this thats at $60.00 and has no special features over the the Ps2 version they drop it really fast.

Metempsychic
Oct 12, 2006, 03:27 PM
No way. I've been waiting for PSU since it was first announced years ago.

If you pay $10 a month for PSU and it makes you not buy any other games, isn't that actually saving you more money?

Kers

You could wait one month, save your 10 dollars that way BaZ2! ^.^

Well if you are smart enough to be a member of Gamefly you can get any 360 game for $45 as soon as it comes out. You just rent it and iff you like it you goto the website and hit KEEP IT and brand new games are $45. If you wait longer you can get them at amazing prices. Full Auto and Tomb raider (both awesome games) are under $20!!!

Do you know know how to blacklist people? The headset just makes it easier to play (no running away from monsters so you can type a simple message). I love both and think both have strengths and weaknesses.

But I have no doubt that your comments (and the following QFT comments) stem more from system bias than actual objective experience.

No I can't wait ffffor the game to come down in price, it's hard as it is waiting for the start date.

Online games, especially ones that require a CD key are not available for rent in local or national rental stores. Wouldn't Gamefly be the same? I'd assume so at least.

I will be buying the game upon release. I'm not sure why one would wait a few months for the price to drop 10 or 20 bucks. Part of the sensation of an online game's release is that you will be starting the game along with everyone else. That is well worth the price, just in my opinion.

Exactly!!!, I don't want to have to listen to everyone talking all at once. If i want to voice chat with friends in the game i will get on vent, or teamspeak on my PC.

You can choose not to listen to anyone. There are ways to do that.

Everyone has their own opinions about vocal communication in games. I rather enjoy it, because trying to type while fighting is very hard, especially in PSO. Though when I'm not doing anything, I prefer using a keyboard.

Speaking of the topic, I think it's very pointless to wait for a price drop at this point. I mean come on, 10 bucks....in like what? 7+ months?

Come on, that's not worth it.

I've had Xbox live since December 1st, for the Xbox.

Tomorrow I'll be getting a 360. I just CANNOT wait to get that system. Not only to play the Beta but play the Sonic Demo! WOoo!

I assume that the xbox live profile was for both the Xbox and 360, but...realy for the 360. Hence how I got nothin on my profile.

The gamefly idea not that bad. Being you can also take $10.00 off of the 45.00 which will make it 35.00 when you use google check out.

You could just go around asking people for change in the next 2 weeks and make that extra $20 easily if you really wanted to.

If you waited however long for it to drop, you actually get more game for your money. Hopefully, more online content will be available by the time the price on the game drops.

I'm actually going to wait until a significant price drop for PSU, but I'm currently playing the JP release so it's not quite a fair comparison.

If your planning to get a Wii or PS3 or you don't mind seeing other being higher lvl than you in PSU then you should wait but that's like 6 month from now otherwise get it and start while everyone will be probably party with everyone and just go in and owned the monsters http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif You decide is it really worth saving $10-30 for the wait? For most of us is a NO ... but I wouldn't mind to wait if I had the PS3 but no luck pre-order blew out within like 3 minutes >.<

Never, the days it's out, is the day i buy.
If you want to wait for a price drop, your best bet is ebay, or a used copy at ebgames, buy if you want it new/with the price drop you could be waiting a long time, like a year or more, or possibly a holiday sale at bestbuy.

You can choose who you play with, you don't have to play with the little kids with voice chat. Typing takes away from communication there is no way people will type as much as they would talk (You would also have to stop playing to type). The headset is nice, you choose who you play with and listen to.

This game is 100% worth $50-$60! How can it not be its three modes?

1. Single-player campaign (25-40 hours)
2. Extra Mode (Infinite offline power-leveling and random dungeon exploration)
3. Online

Let's send SEGA a signal that we care about their software!!!

Vent and TS = talk with who you want, not having to deal with every whiny kid (and adult) in your vicinity and/or who decides to join your party. Having to blacklist someone every few seconds doesn't appeal to me either.

If you like it, great. The only ignorant thing is actually thinking there is a "right" side to the issue. It's 100% pure opinion.
