&lt;p&gt;I am not sure if this is the case though, since at login it specifically says &amp;quot;XBOX LIVE&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If it works, great. But you won't be able to use the dash to find your friends or anything.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If it doesn't, there is no offline version in the BETA, so I guess we will have to find something else to do.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;:-)&lt;/p&gt;

Continued:
second day of psu 15hrs in, this game is awesome!!!
yes there are bugs of course some peeps saying 6 player chat cuts out 4-5 player chat is fine a couple of missions at the boss stages will crash out but rest of them again are fine, there are really cool weapons ingame with options to upgrade and customise armor upgrades are available also a massive selection of specialist equipment with traps discs available amongst others from what i can understand you can make your own weapons and armor and upgrades yourself from raw materials but i did not dive into that area to much the text chat window is crap! no trade channel, the positon of it on screen is down the left, id have prefered it to be customisable maybe let me change size and position on screen somthing like wow chat or guildwars and coh, it is a pain in the *** to understand alot of the features in the game but hey im only 15hrs in, £10 a month seems steep but after seeing very many idiots and morons running around being annoying and spamming chat you know generaly being arseholes it gets me thinking £10 a month = less idiots = less time finding good teams= more fun, and above all i play video game for one thing FUN!!!&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.majornelson.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=156306" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Beta: Phantasy Star Universe</title><link>http://www.majornelson.com/archive/2006/10/13/Beta-Phantasy-Star-Universe.aspx#156226</link><pubDate>Mon, 16 Oct 2006 00:40:42 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">055c7c12-9f8e-4800-85f1-aebaf66ea7d8:156226</guid><dc:creator>StreetChariot</dc:creator><description>Where did it go?
