Agree. Doesn't seem that the online store is any big deal. THQI another game maker has had a store for about six months. I guess they could say "Increase in online sales of 1,000%"

I really should have used the word 'hype' instead of 'scam'. At least 3DO has a real business - and I actually like some of their games. I've seen many stocks (most recently IMON) have been goosed and fallen back recently.

Good post Chris, it does seem like old times here. Maybe Don will regain his 50% loss and Jeffery too by shorting the stock. If you look at the recent press releases from ATVI, AKLM, IPLY, THQI, they all are playing the "Internut" angle. Why THDO took off is a mystery to me. The only game that's playable is Heroes,being turned based it takes hours if not days to play. I never bought Uprising 2 because the first one was unplayable on the internet. As far as selling games on the internet, it's been going on for years, nothings changed:-) Did Battle Tanks even make the Qtr?, I doubt Uprising 2 on the PC or PSX sold well, sure didn't make the TRST data. What else was released this past qtr that is going to support this stock price? Best to you, Alex
