OK, here's the thing with PSO. Some sources say it works just fine. Some say it doesn't work. Some say it's buggy. NONE of these sources are Sega. They're still trying to settle on an official statement. However, considering the fact that Sega has been scheduling things so that the broadband adapter would be out right before PSO FOREVER, so I'm assuming the broadband adapter will work just fine with PSO, it just hasn't been extensively tested and Sega wants to cover themselves in case some weird bug they missed happens to crop up. Worse case scenerio if I'm right, people with dialups get to start playing a little bit earlier than us broadband folks while Sega kills a couple network bugs. Might want to hold off on your preorders for a couple more days just in case though. Now, as for Diablo 2, I haven't played on B-Net forever, so I'm probably a couple patchs behind you. You can always try going to Blizzard's site and check for a new patch, or check tech support. They tend to be really good about that sort of thing. That next bit I'll talk about next letter.

OK, between the last letter, and the end of IM's conciousness stream here, it seems everyone is making the same realization at once. A mountain of games came out last year that you almost definately missed a lot of. This year, all that's due out is PSO soon, then theoretically Arc the Lad, a DW remake or two from Enix, maybe a Square game or two on the PSX2 later in the year, and one or two games from random no-names. So, if you get some spare cash, hop over to EB, or their site, or where ever you get your games, and try to grab... let's see... everything on our awards page from last week, FM3, Vanguard Bandits, Valkyrie Profile, Vagrant Story if you like dungeon crawls with weird mechanics the best brown graphics ever made and a spiffy backstory... that covers surprisingly many people. I think that covers all the really cool games that got overlooked by a bunch of you.
