Mad2, Thanks for all the hard work. Your posts, as always, were right on topic and chocked full of great info. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that EB can only benefit from all the current hype over the Sega Dreamcast system...and will once again be the beneficiary when Sony and Nintendo come to the table with their marketing blitzs. Anything that focuses attention on just how dynamic the growth has been for this industry over the last decade...and fosters confidence in the continued growth over the next decade, will be good for ELBO and the price of its shares. Thanks again, RBL

I did enjoy your Dreamcast thread. People talk of Sega being crushed as PlaymateII and Dolphin come in (to say nothing of that wimpy Microsoft/Intel balloon). However, video game console manufacturers (even those with a 1-5% market share) will be still around in 2005. Consoles will be one of three boxes for a typical domestic entertainment center - around a DVD monitor. PCs? Forget them (at least at home). All bundled in. VHS? Bundled. Movies on demand? Bundled. But video console games? No. They will still be something special. Sure, like today you can either have one box for your hi-fi or you can buy special items from a hi fi specialist in a modular way. Anyway, great stuff. In return, you may like to scan my thread below. It concerns an unknown company, GTR Group Inc, (recently listed on the AMEX as GIG) which seems to have a good niche in value priced video games. The guy being interviewed is well regarded in Canada as an institutional investor who likes to tread into novel ground. His track record has been spectacular. Here's the thread: stockhouse.ca
