Paramount sets launch of DVD movies Monday August 10, 2:54 pm Eastern Time HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Aug 10 (Reuters) - Paramount Pictures' home video division on Monday said it will premiere a new line of movies on digital videodisc (DVD) this October, with 10 hits led by a ''Star Trek'' movie and recent action hit ''Face/Off.'' Paramount, the film studio arm of Viacom Inc. (VIA - news), has been slow to adopt DVD as it has waited for copyright issues to be resolved, so its entry into the marketplace is a strong endorsement for the emerging medium. DVD is targeted to viewers who want to upgrade home movie watching with the crisper sound and clearer picture that the digital format provides. Paramount's titles will sell for the suggested retail price of US$29.99 in the United States and C$39.99 in Canada. On October 6, Paramount will release ''Star Trek: First Contact,'' ''Face/Off,'' ''The Saint,'' ''Kiss the Girls'' and ''Twilight.'' Following the initial group, on October 20, it will release ''Top Gun,'' ''Clear and Present Danger,'' ''Primal Fear,'' ''In & Out'' and ''Neil Simon's The Odd Couple II.'' Fifteeen more titles will be released in November and December. And the hits keep rolling on..... o~~~ O

Try reading the 10Q, it is all disclosed there. These are largely gresham operating expenses (outside of depreciation) which are currently being capitalized until saleable product is available. Capitalization of these expenses is a common practice in almost all manufacturing industries, although some semi companies expense them as incurred as R&D. LSI has chosen not to expense them, but to capitalize them instead. These additional expenses are the reason gross margins will fall back into the low 40's and lsi doesn't have a prayer of sequential eps growth in Q4. Another example of your ignorance being pushed off on me as dishonesty and again you are proven wrong. I can't believe you invest in an industry and a company you know so little about.
