LONDON, September 14 /PRNewswire/ -- YooMedia plc, the interactive media group, today announces that ntl and Telewest, the UK digital cable operators, have approved two new branded interactive television games for the YooPlay games portal.

The games announced today can be played by all UK digital cable subscribers using their TV remotes on a pay-per-play basis.

I confess to being surprised . I thought that anything below 10.5 would be seen as cheap and would create a bounce. However the price reduction does seem a little over zealous I bet if 1 million buys go through it will not return to the start price! So i think there mat be an agenda here as well, especially ,as you say ,with another positive post released
