		<description><![CDATA[Speaking here, Wedbush Morgan&#8217;s Michael Pachter has said that he doesn&#8217;t understand why Take-Two has turned down EA&#8217;s offer of $26 per share for the company, a value more than 25 percent above Take-Two&#8217;s current share price.
&#8220;What I am really baffled by is why Take-Two&#8217;s board rejected [the offer],&#8221; he said. &#8220;If I had to [...]]]></description>
