Gamestop/EB Games Merge!

***Homes223*** · April 24th, 2005

Ok i was surfing the news on gamespot.com last week and i found this article on how gamestop bought eb games in a sort of merge. Gamestop will take over the title of 3,600 store in us and 600 stores in europe er w.e, I guess this gives more power to the Gaming Industry but i always like EB games a lil' bit more than Gamestop. Although the contract

was signed last week Gamestop won't take over the name until 2006 to not disrupt the 2005 holiday sales

So check it out at http://gamespot.com/news/2005/04/18/news_6122418.html and tell me what u think

I prefer EB chiefly because they make it a bit easier to find PC games, whereas Gamestop is more console player friendly. I only hope that they do not become any less PC friendly upon merging with Gamestop.

I prefer gamestop because they actully give me money for my stuff. I can get cash or store credit. And gamestop values it more than EB games. EB games offered me $10 less for my gameboy color than gamestop did when I sold it.

Same here, gamestop only really sold console games, so I wasn't too interested in them. EB Games was better because, they had a bit more of a variety.
