Well, let me put it this way; I did notice it, and still do. And while I could be getting worked up over this, I simply tolerate it, for when I surrender to the whole 'this and that isn't working and that is missing' it'll ruin the fun for me, because at the end of the day, it's still just a game. I do not wish to take those things more seriously than things that do require my attention in life. It's just a negative spiral for me that'll only make me crave for more and better things. Now, your case is something different because of all the frequent crashes and endless loading times (from which I suffer, too, but not the crashing). SL is obviously not responsible for this, and I while I could spend endless amounts of time blaming the gaming industry, I prefer not to. Was it worth putting down all that money for a PSP just to play Pulse? No. But I'll manage. Of course it's ridiculous putting up with this while all we want is a bit of entertainment... In this light my previous doesn't make sense anymore, and I'm sorry, Dogg Thang.
