Steps to improve PSU

As was mentioned in the previous post: AOTI is now a free download on Xbox Live. I view this as the first minor step to improving PSU. Now we need to focus on the big three problems with the game (ignoring that you need an Xbox to play the game in English online now LOL!).

1) Fix the frame rate issues. The Xbox version has had this problem since launch and it still plays like crap. Sure it was nice of Sega to fix that whole "robot slowdown" bug that was introduced with AOTI but it would be even nicer to fix the rest of the frame rate problems that affect nearly all other missions. Slowdowns in open areas and from multiple people using photon arts or technics is not fun.

2) New billing system please. Microsoft's billing systems sucks; I don't want to EVER use their system for a subscription of any type because not only is canceling a pain in the ass, I then also lose the ability to remove my credit card information. Yeah I know Sega's wasn't perfect but it could have been worse. But I know this won't happen because the game is unfortunately too integrated with Xbox Live. So could you at least let us buy a month using those Microsoft points? It's not much of an upgrade but it's better than having a subscription using Microsoft's billing system.

3) Faster updates / catch up to the Japanese PC/PS2 server. We have been beating this dead horse for a while so I won't go into detail on this.

I guess the last thing would to have the original game easily available. I sort of went over the whole Games on Demand thing before and I stand by my statement that the game should be cheap ($5) or free; if its $20 or more (which it would be) then it's not worth it.

In slightly related news: there is no update for this week, surprise! Yeah bro, those shitty PC/PS2 servers were really holding back all the updates yo.
