    WOW lol, this is good :) and yes we never get good stuff in our (europe) updates, funny, europe is the biggest or one of atleast- places where sony lives, we have millions and millions of sony fans, and most games come from here, not all but most, europe holds a large part of sony's rule, and we get no thanks, always late games alwyas bad psn stuff always delayed updates and so on, it sucks, :( and yes i know some of the things ive said arent acurate but im to tired to edit it right now, so dont waste ur time correcting me :)

    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.

    If I see it, I download it.  I could care less if I will play it for 8 hours or never.
