I wish there was a way to tell if the 2.9 million users in NA were all "unique" users. You know, not ones that already have a PAL or JP account. This is great news though!!

well it's only been a few months that the PSN has been open. It's doing very well I would say. Hopefully for all you out in Europe, they will start releasing more stuff for you too. I think it's only gonna get better as the time passes.
