Announcements:

On April 20th it was announced that as of May 20th the Japanese versions of Dreamcast PSO will become free to play online. Sega of Japan's Isao division is claiming that the dropping of the monthly fee, which has been in place since the very beginning over five years ago, is because of an upgrade to their Verisign payment system. The new security features in the upgrade will render the payment system inaccessible to any Dreamcast based web browser.

On April 19th, Sega issued a press release which confirms a third platform for the highly anticipated Phantasy Star Universe (PSU),which is scheduled for release sometime this fall. Microsoft's Xbox 360 now joins the PC and Sony's Playstation 2 as a PSU platform.

A new link has been added to the Links page. You can now get to Dreamcast Help from PSO Archive.
