BIG NEWS look who wants to buy EA

http://kotaku.com/5075163/wall-street-journal-to-disney-buy-eaThe Wall Street Journal has some advice - we're guessing unsolicited - for Walt Disney CEO Robert Iger: Maybe it's time to buy Electronic Arts. Why? Well, the price might be right (right now) given that EA's stock has taken a pretty serious hit lately, partly due to general economic turmoil and on second quarter corporate earnings from the Madden publisher that WSJ calls ''disappointing.'' Why does it makes sense?WSJ notes two potential ''win-wins.'' First, the Disney-owned ESPN, which could benefit both the sports cable channel and the Madden NFL series. Second, WSJ argues that Disney could save at least some of the ''$200 million it spends annually to develop its own games'' at Disney Interactive Studios. The internal Disney studio currently works on properties like High School Musical and Tinkerbell.Snatching up EA could also mean plenty of new, internally developed intellectual property for Disney and all of its subsidiaries. Properties like Mirror's Edge, Dead Space and Army of Two could be future Disney Pictures projects. As Dante's Inferno could have. We suppose Disney could send property the other way, too, with future Pixar titles going to EA instead of where they're currently housed at THQ.It would be one big orgy of commercial appeal for both parties.The Wall Street Journal points out that EA's market cap is at $7.7 billion, a serious drop from the $19 billion of a few years ago. That's a bargain, it says, one that maybe Disney should go for. We'd seriously hope that, if they did, they'd retain all those smart EA people turning the company's image and quality around.BIG NEWS look who wants to buy EA

It'd be interesting to see. Disney would be making bank...
This isn't news. It's the Wall Street Journal suggesting to Disney to buy EA.
If that happens we will see a mickey mouse RPG from bioware with either guns or swords in it.

:o Can it be? EA on the recieving end of a take-over?!?! That would be fairly insane, especially since its Disney.

Watch the sweat and only sweat being knocked of them, (blood's too gory), and afterwards you can watch them have tea together as they get together for a sing-along''. And I thought Kingdom Hearts was bad enough.

Yea thats true its only a suggestion but you never know they might think it might actually be a good idea.If this happens we will see Need For Speed:Mickey Goes Undercover.

:o I can't wait for : The Sims meet Mickey Mouse with a Winnie expansion pack and a downloadable content where you Sims can do High school musical 3 dance
I hope they don't, as much as I don't like EA, Disney is worse.

If EA is doing bad now imagine once Disney buys them yea theyll have more money but all theyre loyal fans might stray away from them.For Example people in the UK love FIFA it sells fast over there.Now imagine Mickey and Goofy running around making goals...that would be scary.Same goes to all the other sports.
Are you excited for Bioware's new games? Neverland Nights and Mouse Effect!!
