M$ setting up to buy Take 2???

[Vampiregabe]

Yesterday Take-Two revealed it was postponing the previously scheduled annual shareholders meeting to explore its options, one being a possible sale of the entire company. Today word has reached us through the grapevine by means of an inside source at Rockstar Vancouver, that "the buzz" in the hallways is that Microsoft might have put in a bid or expressed interest in purchasing the ailing publisher/developer. While this is a mere rumor, albeit from a reliable source, it is to be taken with a grain of salt.

I for one think that this would be a great coup. Say what you will about M$, but they have really hit a triple with the 360. Big N hit the homerun, and Sony barely has a single.

Could you imagine the outcome of say MS buying Take 2, then cancelling GTA for PS3? Or delaying it for, say, a year?

Thoughts?

I don't think MS will put up the money to buy Take2/Rockstar. The only way I can see this is if Take2 is just fed up with dealing with Jack Thompson and think that he'd be scared to take on MicroSoft.

Well, the rumor is by far better then the one about Bono from U2 buying it.....

if that happens, that would be great. im not a M$ fanboy (never bought a regular xbox, but i always had psx and ps2), but M$ is just doing the type of things sony did when it came out with playstation. its all about who got the most money. M$ already got some kind of hold on capcom. my prediction is, next will be konami (at least i hope; i really do not feel like buying a ps3 just to play MGS4).
