Jeff, thanks for your thoughts. I too want EIDOS to build EPS without squandering cash or contributing to share dilution. This company has hardly a funding problem now given its hefty reserves and it should refrain from damaging its balance sheet before building its EPS and reserves further. Strategically it makes better sense to be a nimble outsourcer (a la THQ) in today's economy and in the interactive sector than to be bogged down with costly overhead expenses (a la BRODER.) MPRS looks interesting but that company has hundreds of unwieldy employees. Buying the right to their franchise titles makes much much better business sense to me. Your points are well taken. The idea is to capture as many intellectual copyrights without being saddled with costly overhead, especially because EIDOS already has a formidable proprietary title like Tomb Raider. Welcome to the thread. You should really consider joining. Andrew, thanks for another great link. It was very informative and the quote from Cornwall was helarious. Any idea how FFVII rebate ($20 at COMPUSA) will hurt the bottom line? Bleeker
