Anyone have any comments on this co. being taken over?? I heard a bogus sounding rumor of Virgin Interactive looking to buy the company....anyone else hear that one?

Richard, I hope you realize that my references to "Internut" stocks and their astronomical P/E's are made with tongue firmly in cheek. That being said, I do think that the e-store could become a significant contributor to earnings for two reasons. 1. The margins are huge. 2. It extends the sales life of the games. If it does nothing else, it will allow THQI to turn dead inventory into cash. In order for sales at the e-store to become significant, they will have to get the word out. I wonder if all these copies of Revenge and Rugrats contain directions to the e-store. Jim
