From a conference call held with Take 2's CFO last week:

"The first 25 million is for the first episodic content package that 's supposed to go out and that is in March of '08. That's why it moved into current because it's in the next 12 months. The second 25 will be for the second episodic, the episode, and that will be later in fiscal '08."

I started to get the feeling that MS is trying buy themselves to victory

In the TC's defense, the search feature on these forums is pretty awful.

Agreed. Maybe we'd stop seeing so many repeat threads if it actually worked.

Oh really? I hope that wassarcasum.I wonder how much Sony has paid Square / Enix over the years? And for everyone who is acting shocked at this wake up. Why do you think a Budweiser pays $10 million for a 30 second spot on the Super Bowl? Why do the NY Yankees have a $200 million dollar pay roll? To win silly, If you ain't tryin' you ain't winnin'.
