U.S. video game giant Electronic Arts Inc (ERTS.O) has pulled away from an offer to buy rival Take Two Interactive Software Inc (TTWO.O) after pursuing the “Grand Theft Auto” game publisher for more than six months.

On Sunday, EA said it ended private negotiations with Take Two about a potential transaction and had decided to no longer pursue an acquisition.

EA and Take Two entered these private talks last month after EA dropped its hostile bid, worth roughly $2 billion, which the “GTA” publisher had rejected as inadequate.

Take Two lost its luster partly because of EA’s own strengthening position in the video games market, which reduced the potential value of any transaction, EA’s senior vice president for corporate development Owen Mahoney said on Sunday.

“We were very convinced the value of the transaction would decline over time and have come to feel more and more strongly about our own business,” Mahoney said in an interview.

EA, which publishes hit titles like “Madden NFL,” has said it expects new games such as the long-awaited “Spore,” the evolution-inspired game, to drive sales in the 2009 financial year, even as it narrowed its quarterly loss and doubled revenue in July under a turnaround strategy.

EA’s insistence that its $25.74-a-share offer for Take Two was adequate was a likely sticking point during the talks.

“It’s rather straightforward,” said Take Two Chief Executive Strauss Zelnick in an interview, when asked about why the talks fell apart.

“EA has been consistent in their approach regarding value and our shareholders have repeatedly rejected the price they offered. There’s very little else more that meets the eye.”

Zelnick also said the value of Take Two has increased significantly since EA made its offer, given the whopping sales of “GTA 4,” the game’s latest iteration, and quarterly results that beat Wall Street expectations.

EA made its unsolicited, $26-a-share offer for Take Two public in February and later reduced the per-share price to $25.74 and launched a tender offer, which it extended five times.

EA let its tender offer expire on August 18, but shortly thereafter, the two companies announced they had signed a confidentiality agreement and were in private negotiations about a potential deal.

A management presentation by Take Two to EA, in which executives outlined their three-year product plans, was part of the private talks, along with due diligence of the company’s books.

Take Two said on Sunday it remains engaged in discussions with other parties as it seeks strategic alternatives to bring value to shareholders.

Zelnick did not disclose who these parties are, or even their level of interest in Take Two, but said his company was on a strong growth track independently.

Take Two shares closed Friday’s session up 1.1 percent at $21.89 on the Nasdaq, while EA shares closed down 1.25 percent, at $44.99.

The two most essential gears if you will travel on the high seas are marine binoculars and GPS.

The purpose of marine binoculars differs from one person to another. Most though look for water proof lens to have a clear view of the outdoors. Bushnell scopes boasts of 50 years of excellent quality marine binoculars. Here are some qualities that you should look for in binoculars that you must own:

* Magnification- this is the power of the lens. It is normally represented by a number follow by an “x”. 10x means you can see ten times more that without the scope. Remember that high magnification doesn’t always mean better scopes. You should ask how things can look differently in terms of depth, quality, and clarity if seen behind the high-powered lens
* Aperture- This refers to the diameter of the lens measure in millimeters. Marine binoculars are at least 50 mm in diameter. This allows for better vision in the dark and poorly lit locations
* Exit Pupil- this affects the clarity of what you see. The larger the exit pupil, the better the image will be

Marine GPS systems are very vital when you travel at sea. It serves as your modern day compass that will direct you to where you want to go and where rescuers can find you in case of any sea mishaps.

Advancements in boating and marine electronics make our travel safer. Proper equipment is essential for survival and safety.

I’m looking to buy a microphone for a home recording studio. I want a really clear mic for under $300.

it really depend on what you want to record with it it. what are you recording to?
a good vocal mic you can use is an audio technica at4040 microphone.. is it a large daiphragm, condenser mic. so, it will need phantom power to make it work. you can also use it to record acoustic guitar, or just set it up in a room to record music.

another good mic is the akg c 1000 microphone. its an outstanding microphone to put in a room and just record what is happening. again, it is a condenser mic so you need phantom power.

another good mic is the shure sm57 and sm58. they are both dynamic mics so you dont need phantom power. these are good study mic that you can use from vocals, to guitar, to drums.

all in all, its hard to record music with one mic, but you can do it. its better to have a couple mics set up so you can get better levels on what you want to record.
