Hey you have free time?!!? If you do can I have some? ;)

And do you have a 1-800 number I'd like to play some games also!

I'm curious if the PM3 is somehow caching data then sending it in
bursts.... If it is, kinda like MNP5 compression right?, then for games
they are not streaming as they should be and instead are getting blocks of
info. Wouldn't this account for the latency and crappy game play?

Just a thought...
