NEWS General Updates

Happy New Year    Revelers in the Pacific have already welcomed the New Year and North Americans will do likewise later tonight. NCS wishes everyone a Happy New Year. We think 2011 will be booming in more ways than one.

Still Snow    Some roads in NYC are still unplowed. It's a comedy at this point.

Japanese Trade    As mentioned earlier in the week, all of our Japan-based vendors and distributors are on their New Year's holiday until January 4, 2011. No new software is being released in Japan next week and there's no new issue of Famitsu this week because last week's issue was a double issue.
