Hi,
     I'd bet my left bollock that Sony will NEVER agree to this. Like I've
suggested before, our best bet is to probably get OPM interested in some
kind of massive Yaroze compilation disk. That way, they get all the
publishing hassles and Sony just have to concentrate on gathering all the
code together.
Sony MAY be willing to do this for us.
    If everyone adds to Rob's thread above about what they would like to see
on a compilation disk then we could see what we are looking at in terms of a
viable compendium.
    I'm pretty sure OPM would go for it. If we organised it to be released
around Autumn time when there's usually a drop in quality demos anyway then
there would be shed loads of time for people to come up with extra stuff
(including all those *long term* projects ;o) ). So, if you miss the boat
this time, tough shite. Also, it would give Sony the chance to start adding
stuff in their own time. I'm sure we can all imagine how busy they are at
the moment.

    Basically, if we all want some kind of compilation Yaroze disk then it
would be wise to start planning for one instead of bitching & moaning about
what Sony do and do not do. Call me naive but slagging Sony off probably
won't do our cause any good. ;o)

    If there's enough interest in this idea then I'll get in touch with the
OPM editor otherwise I'll just get back to my corner coding my PONG clone.
;o)

Cheers,

Scott
