News Item: AOTI Free To Download Starting June 30th!

[Max B]

Attention, GUARDIANS!

I’d like to be the first to let you know about a special announcement – starting on Wednesday, June 30th, the Ambition of the Illuminus will be a FREE download over Xbox Live !

No voucher code is needed, and no rebate will be required. Anyone who needs it will simply be able to download it for free (although it will still require the original game to play). This is a thank-you to our loyal players for their years of support, and it also helps us to advance PSU into the future. Consider it the first step in lining up much more for Phantasy Star Universe down the line!

Stay tuned – we have lots more news to come, and good things just around the corner!

Bon appétit.

It could have been earlier, but hopefully, this will help attract new & returning PSU players. ;]

It didn't hit front page PSU Official English site news yet, for whatever reason, but here it is:

It will.I see an announcement soon saying we are glad to announce Psu will be added to Games on Demand.

I do not understand this. Wouldn't all the loyal players already have this?

not bad, nice going Sega (I'm saying this in a good way)

[Hiero_Glyph]

meh.

Without the digital distribution of PSU the problem of limited game discs is not resolved. I'm glad to see SEGA taking a step in the right direction but as was already stated most of us already have the AotI content so this is the same as rewarding new customers while giving nothing to the loyal ones. This seems to be a case of 'too little, too late' for me. To be fair though, it would take a lot of effort on the part of SEGA to win back my faith in them and at this point they still seem quite inept, just not completely.

YYYYAAAAAAYYYYYY!!!!!

... but i have one question, how long will this last?

I'm not sure when i'll be able to get wi-fi to get the download

[CJ Johnny]

From business point of view.

This is bad.... very bad.

Free Expansion download.
Meaning they don't care is there really any bodies plays it any more.

800 points or not.
For us that was 2+ years ago.

Just happen I was at ebgames yesterday. Checking for wrong pricing on games. (see If I can get lucky)
And guess what I've found. Yes, PSU copies.
And are more then 1. 8 to be excat.
But, they are at the bottom of the shelfs. 2 inches above the ground, that shelfs.

Then I play stupid.
Ask 1 of the workers if they have any available.
They say
"No, we all sold out of them long time ago. And it is very hard to find. You may be better of order it on-line".

oK. Thank You for your business.

Of course, this is only 1 store.
Then again. We have no ideal how many may reply with the same answer.

Hiero are right.
It is way too little too late for every one.

To be honest. With this rate.
I am not too sure that we will see the real Level Cap at all.

I think they mean their loyal demo players... which seems a bit silly since it's not the price of the expansion they're shackling themselves to the demo to avoid, it's the monthly fee.

"This is a thank-you to our loyal players for their years of support"
The loyal players already have the AOTI client, like what Max said.
All this will do is open doors for more demo folly, like what Sinue said
And i feel like i've been shafted again, I payed the original price twice of 1600, or 1800, or 1200 one of them. Still, good news for the population number wise I guess.
