      Gamasutra has reported that EA has made a bid for Take Two.

      http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=17596

      And on Gamesindustry.biz you can read about it being rejected, though EA have kept the $2billion offer on the table.

      Will be very very interesting to see how this plays out.

      I bet that offer made them do a double take

      Looks like EA may be after Ubisoft now, if RUMOUR is to be believed

      Didn’t they say they were done buying less than 6 months ago?

      EA really should just buy Montreal, and declare it a republic.

      I mean if they really bought Ubisoft and Take Two? Would there be anyone left out there to even consider rivaling them?

      They’d have to buy Activision\VuGames then – that’s who bought Bizarre a wee while ago :)

      Now there’s an idea. Maybe EA should propose it to Duceppe and Bloc Quebecois just to see what happens!

      I sincerely hope EA does not buy Take Two. Some things should just stay separate :)
