Gamestop To Be Resupplied With PS3, Wii
GameSpot reports that GameStop will be resupplied with Wii and PS3 units within the next few weeks. They have some details on how the two console did in comparison (more games bought with the Wii than the PS3), and point out the best sellers for both systems. From the article: "The executives also recapped the launch performances of the two systems. For the PS3, Sony's Resistance: Fall of Man and Electronic Arts' Madden NFL 07 were the biggest sellers, while Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and Ubisoft's Red Steel stood out from the pack of Wii launch titles ... While GameStop and its EB Games brand collectively account for about 25 percent of the US gaming market, the company believes it didn't receive that much of either system's day-one shipments. Executives said that they've never been satisfied with their launch day allocation of any new machine, but added their main concern now is the flow of follow-up shipments — which both Sony and Nintendo have promised will come at a steady pace."
A store that ran out of an item is getting more of that item?? NO WAI!!!
-- I prefer the term "karma escort."
To all of the Ebay resellers that endured week long lines, biting cold, searing heat, slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, all for ownership of a PS3 that they might sell it for 400% of retail price before Christmas, I say unto thee: Ha ha! Pwn3d n00bz!

First, learn to play the banjo. Once you have mastered the art of banjo playing, it should be easy to purchase a Wii or PS3.
Unless you already know how to play the banjo, that is.
That's "Mr. Soulless Automaton" to you, Bub.
Well at least it wasn't footnoted: "Retailers dread getting in the evil PS3 from the demon company Sony whose black-magical DRM-Rootkit will steal your soul and make you gnaw on your grandmother's unearthed bones BWA HA HA HA HA HA. Remember, if you buy a PS3, you make God cry - Love, Zonk."
The surprises keep coming fast and furious here boy-howdy.
Gamespot reports that Gamestop...*blink*
The Braying and Neighing of Barnyard Animals Follows.
Relax this holiday season. Wait until after the New Year to get a new console. And if your kid won't stop crying, it's time to break out the coal and BBQ the kid.
I'm sure that story would actually surprise a lot of people.
microsoftword.mp3 - it doesn't care that they're not words...
Nuts to that. I'll just wait for Banjo Hero to come out.
Video game store to receive shipment of video games! Film at 11!
Read my blog.
Hot damn! I bet "Dueling Banjos" from Deliverance will be the final track! I just hope it doesn't make me squeal like a pig. . .
My sister opened a computer store in Hawaii. She sells C shells by the seashore.
I was following the joke, but, you know, you're right. I would, as well. *sigh*
