Even if you don't plan to play online, you are still *required* to have M$ Live. Unh..? How does an online service help play PSO offline??? And yes, Sega is charging $9 a month for PSO so with M$ Live, you're paying even more than GC version! >
Makes me glad I didn't get XBox or wait for XBox PSO in the first place!
