Purchased Intangible Assets

        The following table presents the components of the purchased finite-lived intangible assets acquired in the RedOctane acquisition (amounts in thousands):

 
  Estimated
Useful Life
(in years)

  Amount
Finite-lived intangibles:          
Trademark   1.3   $ 1,000
Development-related intangibles   0.6-1.6     15,700
       
Total finite-lived intangibles       $ 16,700
       

        At March 31, 2008, the purchased finite-lived intangible assets acquired in the RedOctane acquisition were fully amortized. At March 31, 2007, the net purchased finite-lived intangible assets were $5.0 million which were included in other current assets.

        During the three years ended March 31, 2008, we separately completed the acquisition of other three privately held interactive software development companies. We accounted for these acquisitions in accordance with SFAS No. 141, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for business combinations, requiring that the purchase method be used to account and report for all business combinations. These acquisitions have further enabled us to implement our multi-platform development strategy by bolstering our internal product development capabilities for console systems and personal computers and strengthening our position in the first-person action, action/adventure, music-based gaming and action sports game categories. A significant portion of the purchase price for all of these acquisitions was assigned to goodwill as the primary asset that we acquired in each of the transactions was an assembled workforce with proven technical and design talent with a history of high quality product creation. Pro forma Consolidated Statements of Operations for all of these acquisitions in aggregate are not shown, as they would not differ materially from each year's reported results.
