-
-
- IF Atari didn't make more copies, they would have a BIG problem.
-
- This is because they advertised the free deal and now they aren't
- going to deliver on their promise?
-
- No, it doesn't matter that the coupon says "only good while supplies last"
- because Atari supposely hasn't delivered ANY.
-
- And it would be bad business to say to someone... "sorry, we ran out
- so you are out of luck..." They would definitely bad mouth Atari
- to all their friends.
-
- It kind of ticks me off to see that Atari is playing the "good heart"
- game! Get professional dudes!

-
- I doubt that will happen. We have been hearing that there should
- have been 10 games this month. It is now the 29th of August and
- only two new games released.
