FF7 had a video on the disk because of its recent release on Platinum. If 'virtually everyone' has it, it wouldn't be near the top charts. Which it is. Same with the Colin McRae demo - it gets out on Platinum soon... They advertisted next month as having a Yaroze game - it could there just wasn't the space or a game of a suitable quality... -- Brian @ DMA [ All opinions & views are my own, not DMA's, yadda, yadda, yadda ]
