Look at this...

http://s1.cgi.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.asp?board=13775&topic=7493172

just to quote some of the posts

"I got the game friday for free but I don't have Xbox Live so I can't play http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif"

"One of my friends got the game over the weekend."

"My friends mom works in the X-box division of MS. I was at was at my friends house when she came home from work she gave us both one."

I know these are all probally lies, but are they trying to make me wanna kill myself!

There are probably a few that have the game now, but they can't play it online anyhow due to fact that the US servers probably aren't up yet, and won't be till at least Tuesday or Wednesday.

Well i'm my time zone, if the game comes out on the 16th, i have 2 days, 5 hours, 24 minutes, 10 seconds (probally changed by the time i post this)... however that day i have school (unless i decide to um... not go), and i won't get home till 3:30. Therefore, i have 2 days, 20 hours, 54 minutes, 10 seconds.

I'm officially jealous of whoever that is that has the game. I would be using this time to play offline until the server are up for online. He is probably doing that assuming he has the live kit.

no the guy that has it said he doesnt have the live kit yet and he wants it really bad so all he can do is let it sit there till he gets live. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

ya now it's possible for people to have fully pimped out lvl 200's on the 15th... whihc makes me really really mad. (Possible... however not likely). I want it to be an even field, and 3 days can make a big difference.

Look closely at the link he gives on that gamefaqs thread, if you look closely at the PSO case, the paper underneath looks slightly ripply, something that happens to printer paper when you print a lot of black on it like that. I wonder if he didn't just download a high rez copy of the cover, print it off, and put it in an xbox case?

i've had the cover of a xbox and ps2 game ripple like that from condensation during shipping. (they were international shipping but still)

A friend of mine got the game today. He and her live in LA. It was a Press Copy, not to sell but they got the game for $20.

That picture is missing the Xbox Live Required to play orange box that is on the retail cover of the game. I think that is a faked image. You could easily copy that picture onto an Xbox game disk because on all the live game the Xbox logo and the live enabled orange stripe are in the same place.

The main thing is that Orange box is missing and that's on every cover except his. Hmmmmm!

Here (http://members.lycos.co.uk/gaizka17/PSO.bmp) is the picture that he was trying to show you guys.

Here (http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/categories/products/product.asp?pf_id=232746) is the retail version of the cover.

I think it's faked because it's missing some things from the retail version of the box.

I don't think it's faked. The only thing it's missing is the "warning" that says that XBOX Live is required. Saying that this image is faked because it doesn't have that warning is like saying that all copies of the PSOv2 instruction manual must be faked because they don't also warn that a "credit card is required to play". Also, you can see little ripples on the sides of the manual.

I don't think it's faked, because he has a good picture of the disc, as well.

Now I'm giddy with excitement over this game. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

The image is legit. The text underneath the rating on the disk matches the one on the back of the case. I really can't wait for this game. If some people already have this game, than it may just actually be available on the 15th and not the 16th.

Now that looks real...no edit there. Wonder if the hacks will still be there and we will see instant level 200s on the game. I am not planning on getting the XBox release...like my cube...but I hope they fixed it so people can't hack the item and experiance tables like I have heard before. It would require a DVD burner and a MOD chip anyways...I am assuming. Not easy thing to do, but it would sure be cheap to see level 200 people out there with crap loads of 11 and 12 star rares the first day!
