CBS is bringing the ax down on CNET, the media company it purchased in May of this year for $1.8 billion. That means merging newsrooms and lay-offs at entertainment sites like TV.com, MP3.com and Gamespot.

We'll keep you updated between bouts of blog-crippling depression and wish former GameSpotters the best of luck.
