unspecified updates. We recognize revenue from the sale of online-enabled games for which we do not have
VSOE for the unspecified updates on a straight-line basis, generally over an estimated nine-month period
beginning in the month after shipment for physical games sold through retail and an estimated six-month period
for digitally-distributed games. However, we expense the cost of revenue related to these transactions during the
period in which the product is delivered (rather than on a deferred basis).
