Video game maker Electronic Arts Inc. (ERTS) on Monday urged, Take Two (TTWO) the publisher of "Grand Theft Auto" to quickly accept its unsolicited $2 billion takeover bid, saying it's only a matter of time before it declares "game over" and pulls its premium offer. I don’t like the deal for ERTS, says Jeff Macke. The Grand Theft Auto franchise isn't that attractive, says Pete Najarian. There’s nothing there for my money, adds Karen Finerman.

Getty Images Inc. (GYI) the leading seller of stock photography and video footage, said Monday it has agreed to a $2.1 billion buyout from the private equity group Hellman & Friedman LLC. I’m surprised they got this deal at this price, says Karen Finerman. There was a great deal of skepticism it would get done. I think private equity is getting in cheap, adds Pete Najarian.

Tiffany (TIF) shares surged Monday on takeover speculation. LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton (LVMUY) was mentioned as a possible buyer, however Tiffany refuses to comment on the speculation. This has been rumored for a while, says Jeff Macke. I’m not interested. It’s probably a stale rumor.

Two Detroit pension funds have sued Yahoo Inc. (YHOO) and its board of directors, saying they breached their duties to shareholders in trying to thwart a takeover by Microsoft Corp. (MSFT). I think it’s time for Microsoft to come up with something, says Karen Finerman.
