They are down slightly because they had to recall "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" because of the found/hacked sex scenes.
Any thoughts?"

AlfredSokol said: "I mean video games are going to be with us for a long time. It's a fairly huge industry nowadays."
IntelligentInvestor said: "Ya, it's definitely growing very rapidly, taking a bite out of the movie industry. If you look at video games, you know about the 3rd generation consoles being released (XBox 360, PS3 and the Nintendo Revolution) They're all coming within a year of now... The Sony PSP handheld machine was recently released and I believe it's a pretty big hit with multiple function.. music, games, and other stuff...
With all these new consoles and handhelds, it's going to open a door for video game makers such as Electronic Arts, Activision, Take-Two, Midway, etc... THose listed are all publicly traded..."

Atari has my favorite game right now. Maybe I should look into their stock. Looking...."
dsm091 said: "I looked at ATAR, man they crashed hard. They are super low right now. Their games are far better than EA. Programming is done way better, Act Of War is the best game I have played. And it doesnt have any programming bugs like command and conquer generals. Should I get in? Any suggestions?

IntelligentInvestor said: "What good games does Atari make??
EA was a huge growth stock in the 90's... I think it has significantly slowed down..."
dsm091 said: "Act Of War is the one I like, but they are coming out with a matrix game. EA is so big now. They out did themselves"
IntelligentInvestor said: "So which video game stock looks promising to you and why??
I notice they all have a pretty high PE ratio, like in the 30's and 40's... except Take-Two Interactive....
Good thing about them is they all have great balance sheets with no long term debt, and the release of the next generation consoles.."
