Hi Guys and Gals

Anyone know what the "Watch this space" thing is at the top of Take2's site?
Just intrigues me a little

 

[gregmcc]

I don't see anything about watch this space?

oh wait...I block ads I see it in IE....interesting.

They launching a new website and are changing their name.

Just got the following email from them

Hi

We're changing and you're the first to know!

From tomorrow, you'll be able to take a sneak peak of our new website and our new name. We're really excited about the change because we believe it will make your shopping with us that much more enjoyable.

Why the name change? Because TAKE2 is bigger and better and we feel its time we offered you more.

So check it out from tomorrow, and send us your thoughts. We'd love to hear from you! [email protected]

Regards,
The TAKE2 team

Very unexciting....

I like the new site. Also liked the old site.

Could care less really.

It has horrible flash animations.

Instant turn-off.

Yes. They are sold. Neil and co is now rich and on holiday. Graeme that manages the web side of things is still there.

What an awful name as well. It feels like a generic scam site.

Agreed. The old name worked well imho.

Whomever came up with that name should be shot. It just sounds stupid.

Couldn't have said it better. Seriously? "Takealot?"

This is a joke, right?

Omfg... It's hideous...

What the hell was wrong with the old site and the old name?

Nothing much really. I'm afraid for now they've taken a few steps back. Some "user" input might have steered them in a better direction :erm:
