Okay - do you have any source for this other than the article which
appeared on www.gamespot.com a week or so ago? Because if that's your only
source, it's by no means a done deal - that article was very vague and
'maybe'ish.

And, for future reference, FASA does not own FIT. The same group of people
own both companies, but that's NOT the same thing.
