I agree about the website. THQ mentioned the e-commerce capabilities a few months ago, but they haven't done anything with it since then. Does anyone here know if anyone's ordered something from THQ's website? And how about the chat capabilities? Has anyone here used it? I did once, but I was the only one at the time, so I promptly forgot my username and password. An interesting note is that THQ has redesigned their website every year. It keeps getting better, although I'm less certain that the recent incarnation is much better than the last. I think the opening sequence could be eliminated, and I think the site should be updated more often. Specifically, the release list does not match the announced list of games. I realize that they just announced some new titles, but with the world watching during E3, THQ should have updated their site promptly. Regardless, it has not been updated sufficiently in the past, with respect to the release list. And the THQ financial information talks about growth through Q3 1998. How about including the full year, THQ? And maybe Q1? The only thing I check on THQ's website is the release list, which is not a reliable indicator of expected games. The bottom line is that the website needs an overhaul, and THQ should spend a couple hundred thousand dollars to get a kick-ass site. They need a great-looking, fully functional site to look like a "Top 5 Publisher." Todd
