>>Maybe THQ will spend the money in several places: Buy a European distribution channel ... << Did you mention this option first, because it seems to make the most efficient use of the money, in terms of moving more product now (as well as in the future)? I think this may be the most likely scenario. What it offers is a second chance to distribute THQI games, without any new development costs. This option would lead to the greatest bang for the buck, something THQI demonstrates consistently, and has stated in the past is a strategic goal. Europe, welcome to RUGRATS :o) Regards, JB

>> I don't know what THQ could buy from CD with only $60 million How about Blizzard? They've been a very consistent game company. They only release 1-2 games a year, but the games usually sell over a million copies on Blizzard's reputation alone (well the games ARE great games too). I know they just recently had a mini exodus of developers to form their own company, and you've got to figure one the reasons is that Blizzard is part of the mess that is Cendant right now. I'm sure any stock they have has taken a beating. Just a thought. I personally would love to see Blizzard as part of a THQ then a Cendant.
