I love how they say the servers are online, but you can't actually set up an account to play on them should you be lucky enough to get the game. v_v

Nice, they have server status indicaters as well... but i'm still trying to find where to buy your liscence...

I like the server status indicator, but no place to buy liscence yet... and playsega doesn't have it yet. hopefully later today?

It might have been a preset script to show the news, maybe it will change later when sega are in the office.

They say to go to your favorite retailer to buy a copy...

EB doesnt open until 10, so I guess I will be visiting them then. I might call first...

The terrible thing is, I can only drink a couple beers until then, because I have to drive myself. I just wish i had an answer, so if it isnt coming I could start drinking heavily. :'(

Yeah, don't get so wrapped up in excitement that you disappoint yourself..

The game just -ships- today, it won't be on the -shelves- until tomorrow. Why they tell us that the game ships a day earlier rather than just telling us when the game will be on the shelves is beyond me.. probably just anticipation and marketing..

Mag_Launcher

It lies. It lies because this is one of the worst launches ever.

It's like the majority of retailers have been pushed back AT LEAST a day, some even two.

Nayte
Oct 24, 2006, 07:12 AM
So, is Tuesday the usual day when games get released over there in the USA or Wednesday?

Mag_Launcher
Oct 24, 2006, 07:21 AM
It's supposed to be Tuesday, and this goes for nearly all media as well. (CDs, Movies, etc) And they're usually all on the shelf ON THAT DAY.

But noooo, not for PSU it seems. I'll give my Gamestop a call around 5, but I'm not gonna hold my breath on it being there today, which SUCKS because games usually make it on time. But, not like it hasn't happened before... I did run into a bit of a delay waiting for GTA: Vice City, and that was worse cause me and some other people were waiting IN THE STORE till like almost midnight (I believe this was Tuesday, not Monday) and the guy didn't come back in time from the airport. Had it quick as hell in the morning, though, but still had to sleep on it empty handed.

Tahldon

Wednesday.

The gamestore lingo is it SHIPS on the 24th, but that's like women's doubletalk. It really means that it'll officially be released on the 25th.

Trust me, after fighting with the gamestores about this trillions of times, you come to realize. OH and it's not really guaranteed either! They'll pull some Okami like BS and throw the game back a month cause of some problem or another... *rant* That one's not even in my collection because of that alone..*shrug*

But yes to answer your question, we'll all get it Wednesday around 10am - 2pm in our respective timezones..though there are exceptions..

Noooo, the game SHIPS today, it's not supposed to be in stores until Wednesday. 95% of all games SHIP on Tuesdays, in store Wednesdays. The only general exception is Nintendo published games which ship on Mondays, and are usually in-store Tuesdays. It amazes me the confusion ship dates cause.

Mag_Launcher
Oct 24, 2006, 07:26 AM
There's been WAY more than that coming out ON TIME on a Tuesday.

Suddenly PSU goes back a day and EVERYBODY thinks it's the industry standard now. Well, it isn't, PSU is the only exception this week, everything else I'm sure will arrive on time today.

Tahldon
Oct 24, 2006, 07:28 AM
We should petition for the industry to just stop TELLING people ship dates, no body cares when it ships.. we only care about when it's ON the shelf for us to GRAB correct?

I gives a damn if a game SHIPS on a certain day, that's doing nothin for me.. just tell me when I can have the damn thing >.<

Nayte
Oct 24, 2006, 07:48 AM
Heh i agee with Tahldon. At least over here, the date they say is the release date is the day it is on the shelves(which is fridays for games) unless its been said that there will be a delay.

Phantasy Star Universe is probably my second most anticipated game of the year and if I have to wait till wednesday (even though I will try to get the game tonight some time) you know it's not a big deal. However, if I can't get FFXII on Tuesday 12AM - Somone is going to go insane because I've been waiting for that game for forever. I love Final Fantasy.

Tahldon
Oct 24, 2006, 08:27 AM
Why does advetisements feel the need to lie so much..?

I go to IGN.com and they all have the advertisements out talking about PSU is in stores now, when we all know that that's a lie. I even called Gamestop and they said that they're gonna have it Wednesday, the 25th.

Lyin ass advertisements.. ugh..It's just annoying cause they say it's out now and it's not, knowing how badly everyone wants it.

"Go pick up your copy at your favorite retailer!" they say.. psh...Bull

I have a quick inquiry about the new site. (Sorry kind of new here so bare with me) I noticed under the maintaince section that maintaince will be "Every Thursday, 5pm to 10pm GMT-7". As can also be found here.

http://phantasystaruniverse.com/community_maintenance.php

Exactly what does that convert to for each of the time zones in the NA in terms of EST, CST, PST, and so forth ?.

Also to add to this doesn't that mean the moment we recieved the game on Wednesday and even if we can get on Network Mode the server would be down for maintaince on Thursday?

That's about the most stupid time to bring servers down for maintenance. Most MMO's bring there servers down around 4am PST

Has anyone pre-ordered through gamestop? Because they haven't even taken the money from my account yet and the sound track is back-ordered.

The official site says servers for all platforms are running and the game released on all platforms today. If there was an official delay, wouldn't they post it on their main site?

This isn't a delay from developer to manufacturer, nor manufacturer to distributor, it's a delay from distributor to reseller.
Sega really isn't bound to officially announce anything, because by the end of the day, someome will have the game and be online.

There.Is.No.God.Damn.Delay.

Why cant people grasp the fucking concept of shipping? Packages dont magically appear at stores and door steps.

The 24th, today, is the shipping day, some stores will get it, some stores will get it tomorrow, some will get it later.

Its not that hard to comprehend.

Today is the OFFICIAL release date. Nuts to you who have to wait an extra day (I do) or two, boo hoo.

GMT-7 = Mountain Time. If you're in the Pacific Timezone, subtract an hour. If you're in Central, add an hour. If you're in Eastern Time, add two hours.

I agree, it does seem an odd time to put the maintenance. Although currently I have class during that time anyway, so I'm good.

You can't make a lincense accoutn without the serial on the game anyway. SO who gives a damn. Plus it might be thru game link only or after you enter your serial. Who knows. We will find out. If the billing isn't online then it isn't online and we can't do anything about it. At least we can all enjoy the offline mode. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Same here T-T Not a big deal though, I just hope the login servers (if there seperate) don't crash. I wonder if I should purchase a licence now though...
