Thierry, it's much better if they don't announce anything this time and catch the uninformed market by surprise for a bigger move. One caveat: Eidos may be offering a rebate on FFVII to gain market share from GT Interactive. I am not too concerned about the rebates because PC DATA shows that FFVII was the highest priced game at $50 (before rebates) from the list of top ten selling games. I was at COMPUSA again on Tuesday. FFVII is still the #3 top selling game nationwide. But the clerk said more buyers have started to gravitate toward FFVII over Unreal. He himself was very positive about FFVII's game play and graphics and said it's the best role-playing game out there. I think EIDOS will start to move in earnest in August. Thanks for the report.

Given all the cool new games EIDSY has so far released and still has in the product pipeline, who has the nerve to call EIDSY a one hit wonder company any longer? For me, this stock is the most undervalued I've ever seen since I began investing in 1989. I still hold all my shares and my latest purchase at 19 1/2 doesn't worry me, because I'm absolutely convinced that the current poor performance is just a short term fact. As long as Mr. Livingstone and the other board members don't dump their large personal shareholdings, the daily volatility of EIDSY doesn't cause me any headaches. As a sign of my positive outlook for EIDSY, I must say, that I've sold my entire bond and money market fund position in exchange for EIDSY stock last year. My EIDSY shareholdings (ADRs and UK shares combined) account for nearly 45 % of my entire portfolio. At current levels, I still have a book gain (lowest entry point was 9), so I'm quite confortable even at this low levels. However, I'm not even thinking to take any profits below 30 $, so my stratgey with this stock is: Just hold and wait for the big rally which should come over the medium term. Greetings, Kai
