Phantasy Star Online To Carry Monthly Fee
Gamers who rankled at paying for Phantasy Star Online v.2 on Dreamcast might bridle even more at the planned pay structure for the Xbox version of the game in Japan. In addition to the game, ISP payment, and Xbox Live subscription ($50 for the first year, probably $10 a month after that) players of PSO for Xbox will need to cough up an additional fee every month for the Hunter's License. Offline play will, of course, still be free of charge. There's no word yet on whether the US pricing structure will be similar, so keep your fingers crossed.Source: http://www.gamers.com/
