Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: ERTS) is one game play that's expected to weather the "frugal consumer" era reasonably well, hence I'm Reiterating my Buy rating for the company, first recommended on June 11, 2009 at a price of $21.87.

Near-term, a great deal is riding on ERTS' signature franchises, Madden NFL and NCAA Football, and the company also will have to introduce a new, innovative game if it hopes to maintain momentum created by the earlier franchises.

Whatever the reason, I didn't watch and I didn't miss. Actually, let me couch that statement, I saw snippets of the Butler/LSU game as I waited for the FightBus to get its oil change at the dealership. Thing is, while I was glancing at the TV I saw in-game ads for VitaminWater and General Motors ... what happened to letting the game play? It reminded me of Wednesday night when I was watching my BlueJackets play. Fox Sports was showing the sponsored save of the game, and missed a goal by the Jackets!
