PSU Coming to Games on Demand

For a few weeks, PSU GMs have been hinting that PSU would be coming to Microsoft's Games on Demand service. Today, GM Edward made the official announcement.

Beginning next Tuesday (August 3), version 1.0 of Phantasy Star Universe will become available for download on Xbox Live Games on Demand.

This is certainly an interesting announcement now that Ambition of the Illuminus is a free download. In theory, former PC/PS2 players that happen to have an Xbox 360 will now be able to buy PSU, install the expansion pack alongside it, and experience the supplemental update content that they were denied when the PC/PS2 servers were shut down in April.

That said, I won't be taking advantage of this offer despite the fact that I have an Xbox 360. As I've said before, I prefer to play PSU on a system that runs it well. Not to mention I don't really feel like starting over from scratch. However, for those players that were looking to get back into the game, this is undoubtedly some good news!
