Sega today announced that the Phantasy Star Universe demo servers for Xbox 360 would be shutting down on Monday. In this post on the official PSU forums, GM Edward stated that maintaining the demo servers is no longer feasible, a statement that I'm sure most of us agree with.
Somewhere, in a remote corner of the Internet, the porn-spammers and phishers are complaining about this, but I don't think anybody else will mind. For many months now the demo servers have been a waste of processing power, occasionally bringing players to the full version of PSU but not doing much else.
This is probably a good reason why the full Xbox 360 PSU servers should never be free, although I do often wonder if the Japanese PC/PS2 "free course" draws a crowd similar to the demo server here...
