Yeah, I saw that... Maybe that'll buy them another 1-2 points in software sales.

If it is like last year, they will only show it in certain markets vs the whole country.

Hopefully it's not in the 3rd quarter of this impending blowout.

Come on now, The Giants are going to win, but I doubt it'll be a blowout.

What's the point in that? Why spend nearly 3 million dollars to promote a player without movie support?

I don't think the Giants will blowout the Pats. It should be a little closer than that.

2.7 Mil to run the shrek ad? Do you think they have produced a new ad? I bet it will be pretty lame.

Maybe they got the pets.com sock puppet. Or they will be using one of their other sock puppets, amir, HD NOW, deadmeat, kosty, rob enderle, or don linderman.

This is how it will go for 30 seconds:

Upconverts your DVD's
Q1-Q3 2007 SA sales
Transformers/Bourne/Bee Movie/Cloverfield (with a tiny disclaimer saying that it's not announced yet)

Maybe the ad is to admit defeat.
