Dear Jim & RBL,

Thanks for your comments.

I agree that it will be difficult for CompUSA to turn a profit in the video game arena, however, they may cause a lot of problems for their competitors. For instance, I understand that 'blockbuster' titles contribute heavily to ELBO's bottom line. I also understand, please correct me if I am wrong, that ELBO generally does not discount their products. So if CompUSA was to only stock 'blockbuster' titles at discounted prices, this could really hurt ELBO. Do you agree?

Another question, assume that a potential customer wants to buy a specific game title (knows this before going to the store). What is the advantage of buying it a ELBO vs. the competition? (Better price? In stock? Shorter lines? Frequent buyer program? Free add-ons?)

Finally, a general question for the thread. Why invest in this company? Where is the growth? Since I asked first, can I wait for your response before giving mine? :-)

Joel
