    godfree writes, "A word of caution if you plan to use them both... As you may be aware, Phantasy Star Online ships with a serial number and access key, used to register your copy of the game. When you first play PSO, these serial numbers are saved to the DC's internal memory. Also, when you actually connect online to play for the first time, they are automatically registered with the PSO servers.

    All is fine and dandy, until you load up the Web Browser 2.6 (to check SV for the latest goodies, of course). For some strange reason, this version of the browser will occasionally "flash" your DC's internal memory... which will of course, wipe out your serial number and key access information. The next time you try to play online (and re-enter your serial info), you will get a message stating your information has already been registered. Yup, you're stuck.

    At this point, you can contact Sega's technical support (1-800-USA-SEGA) and they will issue you a new serial number and access key. Be warned though, if you continue to use the 2.6 browser it can happen all over again.
    Bottom line? Ditch the 2.6 browser, and go for an earlier version. PSO or the browser.... hmm, tough choice (GODFREE from PSO)     "

      Umm I use the browser that contains Jet Grind Demo, is that 2.6 or still 2.0? And if it loses your disc ID# will you lose your charcter? Cuz after spending 50 hrs w/ my charcter I in no way wanna risk losing him and my guild cards. I guess no more couch surfing with the DC for me. Also wouldn't this all be true if you were to reset your DC's memory?

      Actually the JGR browser isnt 2.0 or 2.6. Its a translated version of the Japanese browser "DreamKey" Im pretty sure the warning only applys to the english "PlanetWeb" browser.
