Q&A

The alternatively distro question. (Again. Same person: ) Only Anime Network's Video-on-Demand. Nothing else is planned.

But then... Someone asked specifically about video releases for the PSP, the word is "likely", but no current titles.

Bandai Canada distro: Retailers removing titles are probably clearing out old distribution back-log. Bandai is working on getting their own distribution out to retailers.

Bandai manga announcements soonish.

Bandai has no current position on Blue-Ray vs HD-DVD.

Gundam MMO planned. Check out http://www.universalcentury.net

On the subject of the Cowboy Bebop PS2 game, no real news, don't hold your breath.
