One reason I am glad to be an XBOX owner

[Myst]

Ok we all know that more people hate XBOX than they hate Gamecube, which means that people have more Gamecubes than XBOX's. Well when GC's PSO comes out, there will be more people who will try to hack in to the server or find ways to cheat than in hte XBOX's version! Yes! Finally a (temporary) relief from cheating! Sorry for all of you GC users though...

That's an incredibly stupid comment... Let the flaming begin!

It also means less people to play with and hence less variety. Especially in Japan where the Xbox has a dismal following.

Also it'll probably have a shorter shelf life online.

And it still remains to be seen how cheating (no one hacks, they just input lines of code) will work on both Xbox and GC. Neither are imune, that's for sure.

Im sure ST will put some kind of countermeasure against cheating into the software, they probably know cheating could be possible and im sure they will do something about it.

LOL stupid post ¬_¬ PSO xbox will be full of US people and people from other countries will be minorities and they will be screwed....

On the lack of hacks for X-Box, you may want to check out this forum post.

Its gonna be popular on every system, with every nationality. People, can you just drop the "OMG look at this news, the XBOX will be the best" thing, its really annoying and pathetic.

Since ST have been quite burnt by online cheating, we can safely suppose they had couter-measures in mind for GC and X PSO.

This means it would be very surprising that anything like PK, CK, NOL, etc would still be technically feasible.

However, safe guarding against offline dupes and item creation is more difficult.

GC : GameShark announced for soon.
apparently, japanese PSO wouldnt have time to learn how to defeat it before its retail date of 8th august.
Maybe Us&Eu PSO would ?

Xbox : modchips are out that let you run anything on Xbox. (games, originals, mp3 and divx players are coming soon)
need to solder 30 threads, but simpler versions are announced.

So neither one will be left untouched.
but it's too soon to predict anything.
