>>I saw a report on TV this morning about children in Japan who were hospitalized after watching cartoons on television. Although it had nothing to do with video games, there can be quilt by association. Something everyone should monitor. It could create a buying opportunity. I know I may be called an alarmist, but if this problem is not explained (medicaly) quickly; it will cause some excess speculation.<< There is little mystery medically about what happened. It has long been known that lights flashed at a certain frequency can induce epileptic seizures. I first learned about in in the mid '60s. This cartoon was described as having an eye flashing light at the viewer. This should have no effect on THQ or its games.

Andrew, you are being an alarmist. There is no relation between the carton in Japan and video games in the states. The carton in Japan was some sort of Japanese Animae not seen here in the states. Believe me, a non issue.
