I too appreciated your report Kai, and am happy you are back from vacation! I took advantage of EIDSY in the 9's and bought more last Friday at 9 3/8. I am looking forward to the new releases AND funding my family's Christmas with this purchase....

EIDSYs earning which should be released tomorrow are likely to beat estimates. The analysts haven't factored in strong sales (especially Commandos) into their current estimates, I'm convinced, we will see a nice pop in the share price. Trouble is, that I'm currently out of cash to buy additional shares of EIDSY. On the other hand I will not sell on this ridiculous low level. EIDSYs presentation at CeBIT Home convinced me, that this company isn't a one hit wonder, and that their marketing people are doing the right things to push their products (but EIDSY still has to improve their investor relations). I also like the corporate culture of EIDSY in contrast to ERTS. EIDSYs employees are really enthusiastic gamers and when you meet them, you can see, they really like the business they are in. Regarding ERTS, I don't like the idea of some sort of bureaucrats running a computer games company (may be that's the reason why Peter Molyneux left Bullfrog and decided to start it's own business).
Regarding Commandos, I must say that I've played several levels of the game and must say, that this product is so far the best of EIDSY next to the TR series. It's at # 1 at the sales charts of a leading German vendor for the second month (FF VII at # 6 and TR Gold # 8). I'm absolutely sure that it will also be a great success in the US. If anyone doesn't believe this, my advise is: Go out and buy a copy of Commandos immediately to see that I'm right.

Greetings, Kai
