SteveR, Why don't you buy just a few CUBE shares before CES, the seats are good and a lot less than what BRCM is charging? As of yesterday I'm an AVID holder and that soft image was in the news today...... go2net.newsalert.com Nintendo Partners with Softimage to Develop Next-Generation Authoring Technology Business Wire - December 09, 1998 09:26 MONTREAL--(ENTERTAINMENT WIRE)--Dec. 9, 1998-- Alliance to Design and Develop Tools for Game Development on Nintendo Platforms Softimage Inc., a subsidiary of Avid Technology, Inc., today announced an alliance with Nintendo Co. Ltd. to design and create game development tools for the Nintendo 64 home video game console. Nintendo has chosen to work with SOFTIMAGE\|3D as a key game development tool, enabling Nintendo's internal game creators and other developers to create visually rich, compelling game titles for the Nintendo label. Under the development agreement, Nintendo and Softimage will collaborate on defining the NIFF (Nintendo Intermediate File Format) v.2.0 and game development environments. NIFF makes it possible for developers to use the Nintendo-supported standard N64 file format. In parallel, Softimage will create new, advanced tools to support NIFF v.2.0, based on SOFTIMAGE\|3D version 3.8. The tools will provide powerful and flexible solutions for game developers, building on Softimage's tradition of delivering cutting-edge animation features. "This agreement is significant because it allows Softimage and Nintendo to work together to design tools that bring a new level of richness to today's interactive media," said Hugues Leveille, general manager for Softimage. "Softimage has over a decade of experience in designing leading-edge tools for the entertainment industry, which provides us with unique insight into the potential of both current and next-generation interactive media platforms. This alliance further strengthens SOFTIMAGE\|3D as the high-end standard for animators and game companies.".......... If content is king and I don't want to own any picture studios I settled on AVID, a content maker.
