It's my estimation this was all a very well constructed attack plan by Oprah's gigantic, & extremely well oiled multimedia machine, when she decided to influence the next presidential election, with her power parlay move.

The problem was in the communication process. But the situation is changing. It's getting better, and we did get the price down finally. I think Microsoft is making an effort to getting to people and changing the situation so it's getting better and better. I think the concept of Lumines Live was downloading the music like iTunes, so you can customize it with a music video. This is OK I think, but we should change the communication process with the game players.
