The regular game that you buy from the stores can be played without being online. The Online portion does not deal with Xbox Live and costs 9.99 a month. Incase you ask you do not need a Gold Membership.

You require an Internet connection to play Story or Extra Mode only in the PC version of the game. Network Mode appears to run on Sega's own servers but will use your Xbox Live gamertag and account information for authentication and payment.

I'm pretty sure only the PC version needs to be online to play offline modes, its a piracy issue

You can play the 360 version's story mode offline without needing to be connected to the servers.

You only need an xbox live silver account (which is free) to purchase a Guardian’s licence (which is the monthly fee of $9.99) play PSU online.

PSUPedia has a link confirming it.

Just like with FFXI, paying for Xbox Live Gold is irrelated to the payment of your PSU subscription.

Yeah, but I've seen a crack for the japanese version already, so I guess it didn't work that well.

The one advantage to needing an internet connection to play offline though is they offer server side saving for story mode which I think is pretty nifty incase something happened to your hard drive or you want to show a friend something over at their home on their PC PSU

The anti-piracy "have to be online to play offline" shit won't last a month after the US release before it's cracked.

I am willing to take bets on this.

It will be lucky if it lasts a week since the JP PSU version was cracked in like a week for offline.
