Didn't Sega fix the waiting thing in part 2?? I oculd have swore I heard something about a sleep mode....or maybe that was someone's idea??. :confused:

I think they fixed it yes...

Yes, in some times, they say "go to the diner at 8pm" or something. If you go to the diner Ryo says "This is the diner... I should wait until 8pm." And then it brings up the option to wait. The clock goes wild and the sun moves across the sky quickly, and you're there at the right time in almost three seconds. It's really convenient. If you don't wait, there's plenty of things to do, plenty of games to play, plenty of gambling spots, plenty of jobs, and plenty of time to waste. And it comes in the correct places, so yes, it's a great system. It's nothing to nag about.

But no, there's no such thing as a sleep mode. wtf? Who would want to sleep? In any situation, you're able to save it within 2 seconds of bringing up the menu, then turn the console off. Then start back up and you're where you left off.
