Which version of PS Online do you think was the best? I started to exclude Episode III, since it is so different from the others, but I guess we may as well count that too.

I've played two versions. Episode I & II (GameCube) which was my uncles game. I started to get into it because at the time, I just saw Phantasy Star and was happy. A year or two pass and I decide to buy a copy of my own, I now own Episode I & II Plus (GameCube) Which I think is about the same in most cases but has a little bit extra for game value.

I'm going to say Episode I & II. I'm not sure how different it is from Plus (haven't played that one), but I like the idea of having both on one disc a lot more than the two separate Dreamcast versions.

This is taken directly from Wikipedia on the Phantasy Star Onlinepage.

Early in the effort to run unsigned code on the GameCube, people found that when playing PSO and connecting to a server using the GameCube Broadband Adapter (one of the very few games that use this technology), a regular PC could be made to pretend it was a server, thus fooling the game. After making the connection, data could be streamed back to the GameCube. Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II Plus was released to fix this problem. The other incentive to getting this version was the inclusion of exclusive content in the disc, while beforehand this data was only in a downloadable form. Also, the East Tower and West Tower quests for Episode II was added in the Plus version. In the normal version, those quests were only available online.

Additions to Phantasy Star Online Episode 1 and 2 Plus
1.'Central Dome Fire Swirl' is available offline in Episode 1

2.The GBA downloads in 'The Fake in Yellow' in Episode 1 are now available offline

3.'Seat of the Heart','East Tower' and 'West Tower' are available offline in Episode 2.

4.The Episode 2 Challenge Mode is now available offline. Users who have the original release of Episode 1 and 2 can only play Episode 2 Challenge Mode while online.

Hm, I'll have to pick up the Plus version if I ever get a chance, then. Extra offline content is nice to have.
