    I agree, but you see my news poster friend, most of these features won't come in 2.00, or 2.50, and even though it's what we need, Sony will never realize it. (.)(t_t)(.)

    My biggest pet peeves are not being able to play .wmv files, not being able to access XMB in-game, and having to wait a good amount of time to wait for demos to install. Fixing those issues is somewhat necessary in my opinion. Everything else is icing on the cake that will make everyone even happier. Awesome compilation of everything, and I hope all of these changes make it through (and many more :] )

    Sony has stated they're working on in game messaging or as some call it the fabled "in-game XMB" but it takes time to make these things work. the last thing we need is for it to break a game because it screws up what in the RAM Buffer or something.

    My friends like to play it and buy 9Dragons gold. If you have money to buy 9 Dragons gold, you will find it is very useful. Earning 9Dragons money is not so hard. Try your best and then you can get it. I buy 9 Dragons gold, just because I like it. So simple the cheap 9Dragons gold is.

    If you want to find nice discounts on any Breitling, start first by using your preferred search engine to help you narrow your search. Next, quickly sift through your search results by verifying that you are dealing with a legitimate online jeweler. You can do this by confirming their business license and incorporation status with their state website. Then you need to run checks on them through the Better Business Bureau and the Consumer Affairs and RipOffReport websites. This helps you avoid shady jewelry dealers and makers of replica watches. One of the things I hate are the companies that pawn Navitimer Watches off as the real deal to unsuspecting buyers. Taking these steps helps you top avoid that costly mistake and subsequent headache.
    Once you've targeted a number of reputable online jewelers, your next step is to compare prices. When you shop online you can save over twenty five percent on Navitimer World. One watch that is popular and is found for much cheaper online than in stores is the Montbrillant Datora.
