    Somewhere on an Internet message board, a person is exposingSega as a publisher that has abandoned the console versions of Aliens vs. Predator. And while I'm sure there's at least one dude out there still jawing about the PS2 and PC versions of Phantasy Star Universe being shut down, no-one should be typing up a storm about a lack of support of the Xbox 360 version of the game. A massive title update for the MMO has been released that delivers not only content, but also tweaks.

    The update, which is being called Guardians Advanced Content, isn't the usual band-aid that addresses notorious bugs. Rather, it introduces a variety of new weapons, outfits, missions, and items on top of advanced customization options, new photon arts, skill tweaks, and much freer messaging. It's a Godzilla-sized patch and appears to be Sonic Team's digital swan song for the 2006 release.

    == TEASER ==Guardians Advanced Content requires the Ambition of Illuminus expansion pack, a bit of content that sports its own new armors, abilities, weapons, and weapons. The pack, which at one point was 1600 Microsoft Banana Dollars, was made free last month.

    Sega notes on the official PSU website that owners with Ambition will need to delete their original version and then re-download it to use this patch. The same post also advises users to "check out the all-new Resident Security Department on the 3rd floor of Clyez City!" I wonder what's going on there.

    Really? neat!
     
    I didn't play past beating it and getting the 1000 points in the week that it came out, but it's cool that Sega is throwing one final patch at us.

    If only it was free to play like PSO on Dreamcast. Who wants to pay a monthly fee for this?

    There's a Phantasy Star game for the 360? I haven't heard that series mentioned since the Dreamcast era.

    The 360 version ruined my memories of the Dreamcast days... Don't get me wrong the 360 version was alright, just not up to par with its predecessor.

    Like any sane person I loved me some of this game on the Dreamcast back in the day, but when they asked for a monthly fee I couldn't play it anymore and have never been able to get back into it since. I love the game, but it's not worth a monthly subscription to play it.

    Makes me happy to know some people still care about PSU. I enjoyed playing the PC version back in the day but the damn game was always empty.

    What do you mean about Sega dropping support on AvP? Had they planned to do some DLC and then  did theynever release any of it?

    @President_Barackbar: Wow, there's been a lot that has come out since then. Episodes 1 and 2 were re-released on the original Xbox and Gamecube and there was a DS game, Phantasy Star Zero, that came out just last year.

    shouldn't that make your memories of the Dreamcast era even better?

    @MjHealy:  If you are talking about Alien Vs Predator, then I could have sworn I had seen a little DLC pack for it on the marketplace not to long ago. 
     
    As for PSU, I had forgotten that still existed in the world, wow. I tried the demo way back when and never really could get into it. I stuck with FF XI on 360 for a while and then dove into the madness that is WoW for a few years.

    I was a big PSO fan.  I played the hell out of the Dreamcast and the original Xbox versions of it.  I tried PSU and I just didn't think it felt the same.  I would love to see PSO put out on XBLA or the PSN, that would be cool.
