By the way, while I’m here:
In your FACES, “first” posters!
Hay Jeff and Chris
Can you guys please see if we can get more Avatars to select from? The avatar list has not been update in over a year now. You guys can always add free ones and premium ones like you are doing with the themes. It is very annoying to scroll down your buddy list and have 6 or 7 people having the same exact avatars.
I am so happy that firmware 2.8 was optional. You guys should make more of these featureless firmware optional because they are not necessary for us to play online and affect the games we play.
Is there any news on Monster Hunter being available for download?
I really want to play it but i don’t want to buy any more UMDs because i’m supposed to be getting a psp-go
There\’s no news at present, but Capcom has been, and will continue to be bringing many of their existing UMD-based PSP games to PSN. One coming this week, as a matter of fact. They\’ll be on the blog to talk about it soon.
