   Nice to see you still about Robidob, I had great fun seeking out
your member page a few weeks back. [grin] I hope you can purchase your
own yaroze soon... SCEE is not planning to end new registrations, are
they?
   How have you been lucky enough to see previews of games that you
feel bound not to reveal details about? 
   I will keep RR4 in mind, at least it would have replay value,
unlike my usual fare of gaming. I say "Pah!" every time I read the PSX
has reached it's limits. I saw the Super Nintendo exploited for too
long to believe the hardware could be fully exploited within four
years. I sort-of hope Dreamcast falls flat on it's face, so Sony's
hand is not forced. Albeit, I read that Sony plans to keep selling PSX
alongside PSX II for the upcoming decade. I find it hard to believe,
but it would be cool. They are just achieving critical mass of
installed untils, and we have yet to see the magical $99 price point.
We'll see how the release of FF VIII stiffles the hype around
Dreamsplash.
