With Take Two's shareholder meeting looming large for tomorrow,
Mad Money host Jim Cramer discussed video game stocks on TheStreet.com's
Wall Street Confidential videocast. Of Take Two, Cramer said:
I am curious to see whether Take Two can move. Obviously there's two camps. Bears (are) telling me that Take Two is worthless. (But) the people who are behind the change in Take Two are too smart to ignore. Total battleground.
Speaking of other game companies, Cramer liked the Wii ("Woo, is that something!") and mentioned that he enjoyed playing
Tiger Woods Golf on Nintendo's groundbreaking system. The outspoken stock picker was also high on PlayStation 3 manufacturer Sony as an investment. But the Mad Money host was down on Microsoft, citing the Zune and MSN as underachievers and doubting the ability of the Xbox 360 to push Microsoft stock higher:
Xbox is real good, but it can't be a driver.
Among companies mentioned, Cramer was most bullish about GameStop:
This is the best in show demographic retailer and they continue to do the right thing.

HD pricings are heavily controlled a new 60GB drive is as much as a new 160 its odd.
Ok help me with my "facts"
the 360 HDD is locked down you can not simply replace it with another drive.
Some videos/mp3s bought off live are locked can not be moved to a USB drive,thus handicapping the 360 futher.
this is a issue however the fail rate annoys me more,so much so I have yet to buy one,I have played with it at a friends house,even ater 2 months had tos end in it plus I know almost 12 others that have had issues and half of them issues with their fixed console.
witch is funny they baned the sale of used PC games.

From what I have seen 20 years most things will have online distro,in the next 50-100 online distro will be the new emerging format that then slowly replaces in hand stuff after that.

True NIN is focused, MS and Sony have shown they are sloppy 2nd to building a console and sometimes try to hard to tact on their own stuff to it needlessly.

HDMI is not bad but not great either component is good enough you can always get a adapter to change HDMI to component.
to me the 360 fails on at least 3 grounds
1.Hardware the fail rate is to high
2.Hard drive limit (extrunal drives are the pits)
3.First year of live gold should be free(in all a minor annoyance)
the new model is laughable 90nm CPU with HDMI and a black case and new HDD without the fully revised chipset why are they padding the price,plus the 120HD is also a 180$ stand alone,MS has lost all the respect they gained from me laothing sony.....now I am unhappy with both however there is light MS will be fully upgrading the premium 360s later this year with the 65nm CPU/HDMI/120HD,of coarse I bet its the 20GB HD and not the 120,I love MS >>
how can you upgrade the HD on the 360 when its locked via frimware?
sure you tact on a USB HD or flash drive but its limted to what it can do,last I checked you cant move the downloaded movies to it just saves and MP3s.
I'm starting to recall something with their policies that was talked about awhile ago but just can't get it out of the back of my mind and into the part that still works..... Oh yeah, there was that management thing with M rated games from awhile ago where if an employee sells an M rated game to someone they shouldn't have, not only does the employee get fired but so does the manager.... But uhh there's more than that, hmm.
Are you talking about HD as in HiDef? or HD as in Hard drive? Cause you can upgrade the hardrive and I will most likely never touch and HDMI port.... I hope... please don't become the standard.... /cry /drm /tinfoil
The hardware is fine. I still think that in the end smart programing can bring the 360 and the Ps3 closer together. Unless of course they make better compilers for the ps3 sooner than expected.
Of course it doubled. Nintendo is in the games industry as a gaming company.
MS is a software company in the games industry. A saltwater fish in a fresh water lake so to speak. Their stock will not be affected signifcantly by the Xbox or the games they produce.
Same with Sony. They are a hardware company in the games industry.
"GameStop:
This is the best in show demographic retailer and they continue to do the right thing."
Best in show meaning they seem to have the best looking charts....heheheheh
"Xbox is real good, but it can’t be a driver."
MS made to many mistakes with the 360 they could have been a driver if they had better hardware and let the HD be upgradeable.

I wish I had Nintendo stock,it nearly doubled after the WII >>
Proof that this guy is a total loon.
GameStop? You've got to be kidding me. From what I've seen of their corporate policies, I'm shocked they are still in business.
Idiot.
Activision. Low in the summer, peaks in the winter.
