Did she think that a couple of weeks ago, as well? I ask because, in regards to the Paramount deal, all I have read is that only the people who are highest on the totem pole there knew of the switch. This was evident by matters regarding Blades of Glory on BD being discussed less than a week before Paramount's move.

I would like to believe that sentiment, but seeing how quickly Paramount dropped BD for some microsoft suitcases, I wonder how much of an insider she is. I'm not challenging her, it's just that the Paramount thing changed the way this game is played, as it happened so quickly
