As promised, Sega has shut down the Xbox 360 Phantasy Star Universe servers for good.
The servers went down at approximately 2 AM EDT this morning. Some players were apparently not able to enjoy the final hours due to some sort of miscommunication between Sega and Microsoft (the entire PSU experience in a nutshell, I guess).
Now it's on to Phantasy Star Online 2, which launches in the West sometime in early 2013.
Players hoping to jump ship to the Japanese PC version of Phantasy Star Universe are out of luck: that game is going dark at the end of September. Time to start playing PSO2!

If At First You Don't Succeed...
...try, try again. Or in Sega of Japan's case, try, try, try again.
Folks over at PSO-World are reporting that Sega has attempted to push the much-maligned Windows-breaking GameGuard update for a third time. Not surprisingly, people that have received the patch are reporting unexpected crashes and operating system lockups.
I can only report on what other people are saying because, although I am still playing PSO2, I did not get this patch and never will. If this is actually true, then I can do nothing but sit back and marvel at Sega's unwavering commitment to achieving new levels of incompetence. Truly unbelievable.
