I had the same reaction at first, then came to realize that these sale flyers are printed in advance of being stuffed in papers. Could be that retailers didn't want to include ads for products that they may or may not have available to sell when the sale ad hits the streets.

<<I'm somewhat disappointed with the lack of print advertising for Rugrats PSX.>> Richard, gentleman's bet that we see Rugrats featured by at least one major retailer in a Sunday newspaper flier this weekend? The reason I say this is that it can take up to a week to get a game fully distributed, especially to a place like TRU that seems to be a bit slow managing inventory. We've seen it happen many times--the EB's of the world FedEx shipments to the stores on the release date where others sometimes take a few days. Anyway, TRU is featuring Rugrats in a direct mailing and states that the game is available Nov. 27. The big chains want to make sure they have enough copies in stock before setting off any buying frenzies. :) So I expect to see the game in ads this Sunday. FWIW, IMHO, etc. Marc
