'''Event''' is the generalized name given to a period of time in which at least one limited-availability event occurs. Events can typically be split into three categories:

* Seasonal events, such as Christmas or Halloween. These events are usually predictable in nature and have prepared festivities such as town decorations and/or themed monsters.

The XBox 360 version ran a "Phantasy Star Universe Demo Weekend Promotion" which commenced Saturday, February 3rd, at midnight PST and concluding Monday, February 4th at midnight PST.

Users who played this demo and joined the PSU Xbox Live community received the [[Sonic]] decoration. In the run-up to this event it was believed that this meant an entirely new GUARDIANS License would need purchasing to receive the decoration, due to "official" response to the customer support form stating that much (see: [http://boards2.sega.com/psu_board/viewtopic.php?t=17857 here]). However this was found to be wrong an in practise users who'd played the demo received the figure even on accounts created back in October.

−
The statue was added to [[shared bank]] of the accounts of demo participants, as was the case with the JP Sonic event (below). There were no known cases of players having full shared banks on the moment of delivery so it is unsure what would have happened had the player had a full shared bank when it was delivered to demo participants.

===Tails (XBox 360)===
 
−
This event's introduction was interesting - After a maintenance period, Tails room decorations were found in some players' [[shared bank|shared banks]]. Shortly afterwards it was announced that the XBox 360 demo servers would return for another weekend - much like the Sonic promotion - only participants would receive a Tails room decoration this time around.
 
−
 
 
−
The cause of the initial wave of Tails decorations randomly appearing for some players was never fully explained or discovered. Many theories including owning or not owning Sonic, having participating or not in the previous demo events, wearing green clothing on St. Patrick's day or having empty/nonempty shared boxes have all been challenged by players claiming they did/did not get the statue under the opposite/same conditions. As Sega representatives have refused to comment it is possible that their apparently random distribution was a mistake.
