We have written frequently about social game developer Playdom.

Very shortly we expect an announcement that Disney will acquire Playdom. Disney is already a large investor in Playdom ($33 million out of total $76 million raised) and multiple sources have reported that the deal is in the final stages.

The estimated value of Playdom is about $340 million. Disney also recently acquired iPhone and Android mobile game developer Tapulous for about $35 million.

It looks like Disney is making big moves into the social and mobile gaming arena.
