Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ:TTWO)

This stock is a must buy.

Shorttermbuy: The EA bid will get TTWO LOT'S of coverage, possible bidwar coming up or a hostile takeover.

Shorttermbuy: GTAIV will shake grounds like no other. Partly because of the graphics, but mostly for the gameplay which will be inspiring games many years to come.

Longtermbuy: Bioshock was good, Bioshock 2 will be better.

Longtermbuy: Please people don't forget another upcoming title which is very much awaited, namely Mafia 2.

Management issues are something from the past. This is the beginning of a new era for TTWO, DON'T miss out on this one.

Take Two has been beaten up mercilessly in the selloff, but Grand Theft Auto IV is coming out in the Spring and promises to be a big seller. Even with the economy slowing, this game has a loyal following and people will stay home and play.

Take Two is cheap compared to other electronic game producers. The market is giving us a great entry point here. Time to buy while the blood is running in the streets.

Buy now before the Grand Theft Auto IV launch. Sell near the launch if you want. 30% gain a high possibility in a few months. I would hold longer term, though, as this is one of the broadest players in video games which are in a major growth phase

Company seems to wait until game is really good enough to be produced instead of putting out junk. I expect GTA4 and continued news of Duke Nukem to push this stock up for at least a year.

GTA 4, 'nuff said.

A struggling company, but with the new version release this Spring of Grand Theft Auto, this will help their sales and profit picture greatly. Game software is expensive to produce, but once done, if it is good and sells well, it will be very profitable. This company is rumored to be a great target for a take over.

Has some good game franchises coming on line and also (allegedly) has the 3rd most popular non-Nintendo publisher game title for Wi.

Seems like it could be takeover bait. PE is less than ERTS and has the potential to grow faster.

GT IV and BioShock

In the short term, the earnings tomorrow will beat expectations and then this stock will fade from people's minds until April when GTA 4 is released. As a lifelong video game enthusiast, I can confidently say that GTA 4 will turn a page for developers everywhere. Don't think so? Just go to youtube and search for a trailer for the game, then remind yourself you aren't watching a preview for the coolest movie of the year. And they continue to keep the seemingly low-brow more high-profile with an Oscar list of celebrity voices and popular music. Not to mention the Don King boxing title that will vault off of gamers craze for next generation character based fighting games like Fightnight. And although everyone mentions Manhunt and Bioshock, it should be noted that Take Two's 2K Games puts out Civilization, hands down the most complete and addictive turn based computer game out there. People will buy this companies games for as long as they put them out, and I'm in for the long haul.

I believe video games will be huge this holiday season. As they say, videogames, as an escape, are recession proof.

An underperformer in 2007, TTWO is poised to take advantage of growth in video game sales as a result of the new generation of hardware released this last year. Also a possible takeover candidate in light of the Activision-Vivendi merger

For the Horde!

As others have said, watch for the GTA 4 spike. I bot MSFT right before Halo 3 release, expect a bigger spike with GTA, since it's multiplatform.

Great Stock.

With the new GTA coming out soon, they should be set for another spike. I'd never bet this company long, however, as they bleed money between these projects (apparently far more than they take in).

- Recent settlement of court case
- Negative P/E Ratio
- GTA IV (again... GTA IV)
- Ongoing earning from slow-but-consistent Civ franchise
- Very affordable @ <$16/share!

impact of new GTA title

Grand Theft Auto is a huge franchise that will outsell all games next year.

This chart has been climbing beautifully for the last two months.
