GameStop buys Electronics Boutique.

] In retrospect, we all should have seen this coming. I
] mean, given this year's rash of mergers and buyouts, how
] long would it take for someone to try and snap up
] fast-growing, profitable game retailer Electronics
] Boutique (Nasdaq: ELBO)?
]
] Although the merger makes all kinds of sense if the
] promised synergies work out, it's also an example of one
] of those little Wall Street ironies, where a fish
] dislocates its jaw to swallow an even bigger fish:
] Electronics Boutique has more stores, higher sales, and
] an established international presence, and it's been
] expanding the top line more quickly over the past months
] to boot.

And so for the day we have Adobe buying Macromedia and GameStop buying EB. What other obvious arts and entertainment technology companies are on the near horizon? Nintendo and someone?
