Four new Dreamcast imports are on schedule and expected next week (March 03). Aero
Dancing, Mahjong Taikai 2, Psychic Force 2012,
and Puyo Puyo are expected next Wednesday. Sega's Puru-Puru pack
is also on the way to provide gamers with an extra buzz. There have been some changes for
titles that are shipping later in March. House of the Dead 2 has been
pushed up to March 18 while Blue Stinger is no longer confirmed to ship
on March 25. We suspect a minor delay to April. Marvel vs Capcom remains
on schedule for March 25 and should capsulate March as a fine month for DC releases.
Pre-orders are welcome for all items listed. |

Magazine 03/19 |
| NCS
has confirmed delivery of this magazine + preview GD-Rom on March 08. Due to the very
large amount of magazines that we will be shipping on that day, please try to submit payment details by next week
if you haven't already done so. NCS has a large waiting list of customers who submitted
their orders too late to meet our reservation deadline and we will have to shift any
pre-orders to these customers if we do not hear from you by next week. Thanks for
understanding our situation. |

VGA Box |
|
Supplies are still difficult to find in Japan but NCS will restock the VGA Box by next
week at US$89. The next restock shipment will arrive near the end of March
at a lower price of US$78. Demand has been very strong and we'll try to
fill all pre-orders in the next shipment. |

| NCS

and will overnight copies on Monday to our customers. |

Equilibrium |
|
Strange trading patterns are afoot with the dollar weakening to Y119.40. We will watch
with interest but take no action yet - our bias remains long if the dollar breaks below
119 and tests 118.40. Upside target is unchanged at Y125. |

| Capital
Markets |
| The
market isn't taking higher bond yields very well. Sellers are overpowering buyers and
positions are being dumped on buying strength. SPX is threatening to break support at 1228
and we will initiate short SPH when this level is broken. The Russell is also a tempting
short since it is actually strong this morning... |
