    GameStop Makes $1.69 Billion, Names Quarter's Best Sellers

    The GameStop corporation happily announced today that its earnings had shot up 5.2% for the quarter ending November 1, with over $1.69 billion in sales. During that quarter GameStop opened 191 new stores, 94 in the United States and 97 internationally. It also snatched up French games retailer Micromania, expanding its influence even further. We hope they bought the protection plan with their Micromania purchase, just in case it gets scratched or... or worse! More »

    Xbox 360 Hard Drive Gets A Price Cut Too

    Now that the Xbox 360 line-up has been giving a serious price gutting in the US of A, the cuts continue, with the 120GB hard drive seeing a $30 reduction. Previously at $179, it would have been an even harder prospective purchase for anyone picking up a $199 Xbox 360 Arcade. The hard drive add on is now slightly more reasonably* priced at $149 at both EBGames and Amazon. Thanks to Matt for the heads up.

    Spore $80 Edition Announced

    Excited about Spore but dismayed by the low dollar specs? Who plays $50 games anymore? Fortunately, EA has upped the ante, giving gaming's upper class snob a more premium Spore buying option, known as the Galactic Edition. In addition to the game, the $80 package comes packed with a "Making of Spore" DVD, a second DVD with the National Geographic Channel's "How To Build A Better Being" video, plus an "Art of Spore" mini-book, a fold-out poster that's already pre-creased and a 100-page "Galactic Handbook."

    PlayStation 3 20GB Now A Pretty Good Deal

    It may not have had the damning consumer re-branding of "Tard Pack", but the original entry level model of Sony's PlayStation 3 was unquestionably deemed by PlayStation fans the ugly sister to its chrome-stripped $599 60 GB variant. Now, the 20 GB PlayStation 3, currently in stock at retailers Gamestop/EBgames, is starting to look like a worthwhile purchase at $379 USD. Featuring full backwards compatibility with PlayStation 2 titles, plus four USB ports—perfect for a complete Rock Band set up—the only thing it lacks in comparison to its slightly pricier sister model, the recently announced 40 GB version, is wireless networking out of the box and extra storage space.

    The Truth Behind Pre-Orders

    Xav De Matos over at bits, bytes, pixels and sprites has outed himself as a former EB Games manager, ready to come clean to the atrocities he delivered unto gamers in the name of corporate mandate. In part one of a two-part series, Xav explores the reasoning behind the whole unnecessary pre-order process - why it is so important to employees and corporate that you lay your five dollars on the line for something that will be readily available on release day. I mean seriously, has Madden ever sold out anywhere that mattered? It's an interesting and candid look behind the whole tired business. More »
