Farrell is very proud of his improving margins on games and would not put the hit on them by paying to much in a new contract with Turner. The entertainment business is very competitive. Fox, Disney(ABC), & Time Warner(Turner) are all going after each in TV and publishing. This could present Farrell with oppurtunity for new relationships. Andrew

I find it interesting how THQ timed these latest news releases. In the morning was the news that they signed an agreement with Sony to publish and distribute this RPG game as the "first in a series". Then in the late afternoon was the announcement of the WCW non-agreement. Excuse me if I'm wrong, but to sign with Sony, the maker of playstation, has to be a very positive move. We may be discounting the potential of this first news release. I figure the WCW didn't make the percentage of money from those games as THQ did and wanted a larger piece of the pie. If that's the case good bye WCW. Just my two cents worth. kevin
