PSO: Book Burst
Media Kite have announced that they will be distributing Phantasy Star Online Blue Burst in Japanese book stores on July the 8th. According to Watch Impress, the release will be identical to the Sega version, but it is hoped that placing the game in bookstores will open it up to a wider audience.

You know, I think there is a reason they don't sell video games in bookstores.

They do sell strategy guides, though, oddly enough.

In the bottom left corner, what is the warning on the right saying? No laptops?

Heheh, good observation, but I doubt it.

Actually, there are a few Sega PC games that can't be displayed on a laptop (The SOJ websites lists some of the Sonic games as being incompatible).

Why not? I don't see how it would be any different from a PC.

The warning doesn't translate too well, but I think it is to do with the way laptop screens are built.

What, an LCD monitor? Lots of people have those for desktop PCs.
