Lucky little Basta*ds! I hope they do the same thing here in the U.S. I wanna test it:baby:

If it fails they probably wont.

They won't. It was like this for the DC PSO games. No luck.

What was PSO like? I played it a little bit.

Is it like DIablo type style?

Will it b worth getting for GC?

Not really like Diablo 2 style.

Umm... you basically have different levels to play, and each level has their own enemies, and different floors per level.

You can equip weapons, and spells, and assign them to a certain button. Basically, you progress through the level by shooting all the enemies in the room, and unlocking the door. Keep progressing, fight the boss, and go to the next one. If only it were that simple...

Umm... it's kinda hard to explain, and playing it a little bit only results in more questions. I played it for a little bit, thought it sucked. Then me friend (Tombor) told me to play it again, found out how to play online with BB for the original PSO, and once i figured out what everything was and how to play, I couldn't stop.

Exactly how I started off playing DIablo.

Well actually I already knew it was online, but I thought it was crap. Then after I while I got really hooked.
