I doubt it. I am afraid that we will have to wait for something to happen.

I too don't think there will be an announcement before earnings. I am also a little skeptical about the Microprose speculation. I'm not sure how much of it is warranted. Microprose has hundreds of employees and THQ is in no position to acquire them outright: that's absurd. A THQ acquisition would have been more plausible if Japan was probably the #1 holder of US Treasuries. But they're not (the U.K. is), so to me this is a non-issue in the weeks ahead. On a more serious note, EIDSY made an announcement confirming that they are looking to acquire a company in the sector. But I don't think that is THQ's style really. OT* I visited COMPUSA and EIDSY's FFVII for the PC is ranked #3. GT Interactive's Unreal is ranked #1. The May PC DATA shows GT has 3 top seller games out of 10. But the stock is suffering. I know GT had insider sales in May before it announced a penny EPS (compared to 7 cents a year ago). Does anyone have thoughts about the current rankings of GT games and what it may mean for EPS going forward? Bleeker
