Just went into my local store again and bought another 2 games.
Shop was packed, qued down the centre isle, when I got to the till i asked the salesman how the sales were going today and he replied with 2 words: " best ever".
Unfortunately you are right there cheesemonkey, even if figures show a catch up in figures and profits are better than the city expects the price will not x3 but it could double, look at stagecoachs results. And I would think that GMG are in a better situation finiancely than SGC at present and making a healthy profit.
I await the results in Jan, very optomistic.
