Great posts Tom, much appreciated, was at Future Shop again today, sold out of Battlezone, I even had a fellow at a terminal check (he said they had one copy, tho I could not find it...). ZI has hint book displayed with it, that's nice, but looks like other titles will be getting first billing for awhile, AKLM's forsaken especially, which was prominantly displayed at Software etc. If you have any commentary about these charts it would be appreciated quote.yahoo.com nearly all the stocks on this list have taken nasty shocks at one time or another, like atvi's nasty March plunge, and they seem to come back fine... I need a little help on figuring out the March atvi plunge: The chart suggests that most of the drop came between the time they sent this news item (Battlezone shipping) biz.yahoo.com and the culmination of the drop to 10 1/2 reported here by Motley Fool fnews.yahoo.com --I wonder who was selling during that time period and whether or not the news of a flat quarter was out before it finally bottomed...Also, was there any connection between the Battlezone shipping and the downdraft--you would think shipping a hot product would prop up the price...maybe they were counting on just that and it did not work? Just wondering, I agree that ATVI looks like one of the best deals for stock purchase, I do see a few other publishers in the lime light for the time being. I would guess Acclaim spent too much on Forsaken advertising tho, I would not buy that one after it's run up... Finally, if there was any consolidation in this industry, any guesses on aquirers/aquirees?
