£8.50 is perhaps a little expensive... I'd like it to be around £6, then It could be easily compared to going out and buying a copy of any Popular PC Gaming Mag every Month...

I would actually pay what they're asking though. Once I Finally get Broadband though, and I may get that around Christmas time... Not that the European PC version is exactly "imminent" - but, FFXI PC Europe is 90% certain... even if hell will freeze over before a PS2 version gets here...

The Sales will be the worst ever for an FF game. But it really doesn't take much - comparitivly "bad sales" for FF games are of the type that most games developers dream off. Honestly, I believe that FFXI will go on to be the biggest selling MMORPG ever made. It has a massive fan-base (no matter how much it is inclined to moan ) and many unique features and things to do - Hands-on experience show it so much better recieved than Star Wars Galaxies - Also, when it finally gets released in the US, it will have effectivly been beta tested for going on 2 years (by the Japanese in the original versions)... the ammount of MMORPGs that have lost people because of far too many bugs...

Regarding "robbery" - the PS2 version is, the PC version isn't. There are so many things you can do with a PC that reaches the specs and has a decent Net Connection. As of yet - and I forsee that It'll remain so - the PS2 Hard Drive is used only by FFXI. The Network Adapter is used by other games... but I've yet to see anything remotely interesting, other than FFXI anyway. PC online > PS2 Online (well duh )
