Hello richard. Certainly if this conference was in the Uk, and quite possibly if it was on the continent, I would love to go and see if i could represent the Vi gaming community. but money just gets in the way.
If there is however, a similar event in Europe, (or the Uk), please let me know. All the best, DArk. ----- Original Message ----- From: "AudioGames.net" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Gamers Discussion list" <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, September 30, 2007 11:59 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Electronic Arts games > Hi, > > Thanks for all your feedback.
