Here's some points... . While you say Sony are still supporting Yaroze, it was looking for a time that they were going to wind the whole thing up. Honest. Indeed, we actually ran out of Yaroze games at one point last year. . We're nor denying anyone anything - SCEE make our disc and if they don't offer us the games, we can't put them on! For the last few months, we haven't been able to put them on. Sorry but that's the truth. But... . But with the change of heart over Yaroze and thanks to Cat's enquiries, it's looking like we might be able to start putting Yaroze games on again. Here's hoping. . Lastly, when things drop and demos disappear, it's actually not our fault. I'm not trying to divert blame here but when developers deliver demos that simply don't work or contain Class 'A' bugs (something which happens a lot), they can't go on the disc as they fail Sony's Q'n'A - and with 19 days to compile, test and finish each disc, it does mean delays. . Scratch that last one - we want Yaroze games on our disc and by Zod, we'll have them. We'll keep you posted. Best, Mike " -- cheers//matt electronicmail: matt@frktl.freeserve.co.uk universalresourcelocator: www.frktl.freeserve.co.uk icq: 38714129
