If Rafat’s right, and he seems to have it cold, Sony buying ClubPenguin — the kids online virtual world that has grown to 4.5m users in 2 years — is big news:
Sony is in advanced talks to buy the two-year-old kids focused social gaming ClubPenguin, paidContent.org has learned. We have confirmed the talks from senior insiders, but have not been able to confirm the potential price. The talks are exclusive, but still ongoing and could break down, and I’m sure they could have other competitive bid from others.
Rafat says the price is $500450m, and Om says that News Corp has also been bidding.

well as long as it means that they will offer more stuff for free on the site, I am all for it. I mean my daughter’s igloo is apparently not as cool as a lot of the kids and it’s all my fault for not giving her the $5 she needs for coins.
Thanks, Paul/ One note .. we actually reported the price is in the $450 million range, according to our information.
don’t sell it, club penguin!
Just commenting about what Leigh said… The $6 a month lets you spend your coins… not earn them.
