First:

AP - Video-game publisher Take-Two Interactive Software Inc. said Wednesday that sales of its popular and eagerly anticipated title “Grand Theft Auto IV” reached more than $500 million in its first week of availability. [Link]

And then:

AP - Cablevision Systems Corp. is buying the Sundance Channel, a cable network founded by Robert Redford, for $496 million, the New York-area cable TV company announced Wednesday. [Link]

Is it just me, or is anyone else cracking up that a video game made more in a week than an entire cable network does when it sells? How sad.

I freely admit that I know nothing about the game other than what I’ve heard and read in the news lately, but I would much rather watch good independent film than pretend I’m a drunk driver and kill people.
