At the Gamespot web site. headline.gamespot.com I forgot the names of the team hired to produce the movie but they are big shots from Hollywood who produced a few blockbusters in the vein of the Indiana Jones series...exactly what we want! Thierry

The movie will be released in late 1999, so I doubt it will have a big effect on earnings in the near future. I'll report my channel checks on the 3 EB stores in Manhattan over the weekend. Does anyone have an idea of how FFVII and the other games are selling in North America? I called I/B/E/S and had them correct EIDSY's P/E and earnings estimate. They originally had a P/E of 110 and wrong earnings information. The data was being fed to Bloomberg terminals too. Anyway, they corrected the error and the P/E filed on I/B/E/S and Bloomberg are now 12.5 and the 12-month earnings is accurate. A similar error existed with Quotecom, suppliers of real time & historic information to Reuters. Until today Reuters terminals had no earnings information on EIDOS and the P/E was listed as 25. The changes should be made tomorrow to read the accurate P/E of around 12.5 and the earnings fields should be full. It would probably be a good idea if Yahoo Finance is alerted on the inaccurate P/E that is currently being displayed there. Does anyone have an e-mail for them? I'm not sure but I think Yahoo Finance gets its information from Quotecom as do a number of other internet sources and wire services. Bleeker
