I don't think ERTS is a good buy moving forward. I think TTWO and SNE are a better gaming play for the next six months. The longer TTWO can delay the ERTS takeover attempt the better as GTA4 will ship April 29 and all bets are off after that. GTA4 and the BlueRay win will finally start to drive a lot of PS3 sales.
