Sega's PSP Launch Party

Sega is celebrating the release of Phantasy Star Portable in the United States with a special event on the PSU servers.

According to Sega GMs, the event will span various time periods throughout the day on Friday, March 6. Participants in the event during the designated times will receive a phrase to say in-game, which will allow players to receive the Holy Ray/D and Pumpkin Trick weapons.

Event details are available here. It will be interesting to see how the "special phrase" part works. I imagine it will probably be similar to the "Happy Birthday Sonic!" event Sega runs each June -- and if that's the case, what stops participating players from receiving the phrase and spreading it around to everybody?

Finally, I'm going to use this space to pick on an event page typo:

Helga could be anywhere across Gurhaul

Gurhaul: the moving company used by Guardians across the galaxy...
