Yes, or should we say Mattel now. Funny thing is when you think about a $16 software with a $15 rebate, it is really crazy, but when you see the future of gaming software one has to wonder how many more quarters or years people will actually want to take home a disk?

It seems clear to me that getting the player online is much more powerful. I'm not much of a gamer so I can't comment on the quality of playing online, but the dynamic aspect of fresh games and multi player modes is very exciting. The vendor will have great advantage in marketing and advertising as they gain control over a large portion of the users online time.

In that respect, did TLC make a good move giving me back $15?

Regards,

Mark

PS I heard a rumor TLC has made a $10 bid to buy APM. Can't understand the connection, but stranger things happen. :)
