Here are the games shipping for 1st qtr. Pax- for Macintosh WCW Nitro for Playstation Ray Tracers for Playstation Broken Sword for Playstation I will have to check my notes to see what we had last year 1st qtr. But, this year will also have a WCW NWO reorder and we are sure to have big numbers on Nitro because it is shipping early in the qtr. and will have ample opportunity for reorders. Last year, if I remember correctly WCW vs. the World shipped late in the quarter. I stopped at the Electronics Boutique at the Mall of America and had a nice chat with the store manager. I will make this a regular stop. I told him I was a shareholder in Thq. We introduced ourselves and I hope to get good info. from him in the future. Here are his comments: WCW NWO---tough to get hold of a copy. I asked how long he was out. He had been out since X-Mas!! He indicated that on big games, they recieve direct ships from the vendor early in the selling cycle. After that...reorders would come from the EB warehouse. He believes THQ must be out. Because if EB had ANY copies in their warehouse, he believes he would have had them by now. The EB stores do not order their own inventory. It is all determined by EB corporate. WCW NITRO for Playstation--he said they will have it Jan. 14th.. I asked if any one is asking about this one...He said TONS of people. Than, he showed me the promotion boxes for the game. Thq also had Pax on display at this store. Which leads us to.... Pax--Pax is still selling well, but not like the first few weeks. It is still turning well, this is great for us. VS- he said this was somewhere in the "middle" with respect to shelf turn. Ghost- selling well.. Hey Stagger...can you do a store check for us and let us know if anyone is asking about WCW Nitro? How about WCW NWO? How is it selling where you live? Wildman262
