Phantasy Star Online Limited Edition Cancelled

Sega announced today that it will cancel the release of Phantasy Star Online Limited Edition for the Dreamcast in Japan. The package included the Sonic Adventure 2 demo and a limited edition Phantasy Star Online Memory Card 4X. The company instead will release the game and the Memory Card 4X separately.

Phantasy Star Online, including the Sonic Adventure 2 demo (released only in the first shipment), is still scheduled to release on December 21 in Japan for 6800yen (about US$63). The limited edition Phantasy Star Online Memory Card 4X will be available only through Dreamcast Direct's web site for 4800yen (about US$44). Consumers can also purchase both items as a set for 9800yen (about US$91), although quantities will be very limited. Those who have preordered the limited edition will receive both products in separate packages.
