I can't wait til we're all playing EABox 720 and every game has Madden as the protagonist.

Wishful thinking. EA's current employees are already accustomed to the grueling schedule and shitty pay, so there would be no reason to risk a mutiny by dumping them and bringing other teams aboard.

They rejected this offer. Doesn't mean they can't make another, but for now we're safe.

P.S. Link

F*** EA! I hope GTAIV sells millions and helps T2 stay away from EA. That's all we need is every f****** T2 game being ruined by EA.

GTAIV should sell more then Halo3.

All i can say is everyone buy GTAIV if you dont want EA to acquire Take Two. If that happens. I am going to have to get into RPG games or someshit.

Hey, what's wrong with RPGs? They're my favorite.

(I didn't buy Halo 3, but I'll be getting GTA IV for sure.)

Nothing, i played Everquest for years. I am a sports gamer mostly, but this will pretty much force me to play more RPG games.

You should. They make up the bulk of my gaming time and they BEAT THE HELL out of sports games. ;)

Take-Two leads gains after rejecting EA bid
By Rex Crum, MarketWatch

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Technology stocks showed signs of life in early trading Monday as Take-Two Interactive Software Inc. shares climbed almost 50% after the video game maker turned down a takeover offer from Electronics Arts Inc.
Take-Two (TTWO:
Take-Two Interactive Software

TTWO 26.84, +9.48, +54.6%) shares soared $8.40 to $25.76 after EA said it made a $2 billion bid for the maker of the "Grand Theft Auto" videogame franchise. EA said it made the offer, valued at $26 a share, last Tuesday after offering Take-Two $25 a share earlier this month. Take-Two rejected the bids. See full story.
EA shares fell $1.50, or 3%, to $48.25.

True. I've had an XBox Live Gold subscription for about a month out of the 2 years I've had my unit. I just can't play online, too much BS.
