That is all well and good but more doesn't necessarily mean better. Try these on: 1. Missed Christmas entirely 2. $.75 in losses last quarter on 60% less revenues 3. Not propriatery technology. (They're not the only ones with this kind of technology). 4. This technology has tried and failed previously to gain acceptance. It slows down play and real gamers do not like that. Again, this is not even new technology! 5. Very focused and limited market. This is a niche market at best. Not the kind of thing that could ever gain broad acceptance. The real winners in the internet game are the ones with broad market appeal like Yahoo and Amazon.com. 6. Their statement that they plan to have product on the shelves this month is an out and out lie. Stores bought last summer for sale today. They are not buying tomorrow to stock for Christmas. Do they think we are nuts to believe that. That representation makes me very suspect of this company. At first I thought it was just an OK but very overpriced company. Now I am beginning to think SCAM!!!
