La Cosa Nostra costs EA $800 mil

The Financial Times reports that delays to The Godfather have cost EA a cool $800 million in stock value. Meanwhile, pricing pressures due to the launch of our beloved console have resulted in a $10 price cut for the Xbox and PS2 discs releasing this Tuesday. I appreciate EA taking forever and a day to spruce up the 360 edition if that's what it takes (even if Coppola thinks it's crap). But by the time we see a next-gen version of Vito late this year, this thing of their's will have been played more times than an FBI wire tap. If it's not the...uh...Godfather of video games, the corporate dons at EA could wake up with the financial equivalent of a bloody horse head.
