Sky Broadband sorry for PSN problems- I suppose that explains all the problems that I’ve been having with the PSN.  Sky Broadband is my ISP, so hopefully this problem has now been solved, yet I seem to have always had connectivity issues with the PSN.  I’ll see how all of this pans out first before [...]

Bejeweled 2 Coming to PSN- What an amazing game.  So addictive.  I have played bejeweled many times on the web, and on Windows Live Messenger.  At the moment, I have it on my iPod and I’ve never been happier.  I might go and give it another spin now.  There’s also other PopCap games coming to [...]
