PSO Domestic Release Delayed

From SegaDojo:

…after speaking with a Sega representative regarding the US release of Phantasy Star Online, the “worldwide release” plan that Sega had in mind for the game is no longer on. However, the game is headed our way this January, with SegaNet play intact.

The Sega rep had this to say: “There will be no worldwide release since PSO won’t ship in the United States until January so that they can squeeze in some more time for testing.”
