    Draekkan has also called his local Gamestop and they reported the same date. I can confirm this as well as Nyte called our local Software Etc,. and they reported a release date of August 16th as well. Strangely, the local EB here reports a release date of July 12th.

    Update, 6/20/2001: Sega now reports the release date as "TBD". Simply meaning, there is no known release date at the time. Click here for a report from IGN.

      I checked out the Gamestop website and they mention the date as August 15th, 2001.
      Here's the link.

      okay let's think people. it's definately bad that PSO ver.2 may be delayed. but the trend i've always experienced with games being delayed has always been a blessing (if anyone pre-ordered the lunar games you know what i'm talking about) i want PSO ver.2 as bad as everybody else, but if it means that sega is gonna take the time to try and stop hackers then i'm all for the wait. i've got two other characters i can use when i get Kasera ready for version 2. so until an official announcement i'm gonna hold my breath and check my local babbages' release date. ciao!

      Okay, for everyone paranoid that all these different stores (Gamestop, Software Etc, Babbage's, and Funcoland) are saying August 15th, it's because they're all fronts on the same corporation.

      See? And, I'd tend to trust EB more. My local gamestop didn't have Project Justice until well after it's release date. And as of this posting, Sega still says July 10.

      Thanks for keeping your head jazzyfox. Yes, jazzy is right. These are the same corporation and companies differ in when they get thigns in. KMart over here got Zelda MM a month after its realease. Relax. It's only a problem for those stores.

      I called the official Sega Store, whose number can be retrieved from Sega's webpage. And they stated that the actual release date was July 17. I know this will cause more confusion since there are like around 3 different release dates now. But I am just passing the news

      Well, If it is delayed then they can work on protection against hackers and I can work on getting my 4 other characters to level 100.

      I called all these stores you have mentioned (Babagges, Software Etc.) and many others back when pso v1 was coming out and everyone of them gave me a release date that was around the middle of march. The only place w/the correct release date was EB. So, if i have to believe anyone it would be EB (but they have been wrong many times before also). I am gonna wait until i see it w/my own eyes in a store. Then i will know what the dam release date was These stores never eeeever know any thing about release dates or the games for that matter.

      Not to bash software ect but there release forcasts suck as of last week my local babbages was reporting the end of the year. EB is better at forcasting release dates I always trust them.

      I have checked both ebgames.com which says July 11 and the official game site for PSO ver.2 on SEGA's website which says July 10. So most likely it will still be in July.

      Of course id gamestop changes it's release date then so does software etc. because they are both owned by the same company. So maybe they just got some bad details, or at least i hope so.

      well technically the store has the right to start selling the game whenever they want, so it is their choice to hold it off, the july 12th release date sounds realistic for most stores and i bet thats when you get it if you preorder it from sega (if you can do that, i dont remember) anyways this has happened for many games, and i live in southern cali. where the games come first you know? well anyways what happened was we were looking for DDR USA and my friend asked and the local EB said its a whole month away (this was about 2 months ago) and then we went to korea town, and it turns out the game was released but not the pad so all the american game stores werent putting it out, but the korean store had a korean dance pad so it was okay and he has the game before anyone else now because one store is smarter than the other stores.
