I would call his response "safe" - who knows what cards he's holding...Honestly, Outlaw's decision to go Audyssey may have just been made and why would they default to assume there would be problems?

Chris @ Aud's response definitely conveys that he didn't know yet, but if I were in his shoes, his response makes sense. Better than "SWEET, SHOW ME THE MONEEEY!!" It also was better than "Says who? I haven't agreed to this, so Mr. T is making this up." I would imagine Chris, and Peter, have gotten to where they are by not jumping the gun, but instead conveying calm and letting things develop in good time.

Don't worry folks. I wonder a bit about this, but one way of looking at this is that outside of the meeting Peter mentioned @ CES, we on this thread may be among the first to know about such a pursuit, and if that's even partially true, well, that's pretty cool.
