I didn't even know that Gamestop sold them to begin with!]]>May 23rd 2008 2:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/gamestop-aint-your-zunestop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/gamestop-aint-your-zunestop/May 23rd 2008 2:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/gamestop-aint-your-zunestop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/gamestop-aint-your-zunestop/
People want a DAP they go to Best Buy or Circuit City. Walmart if they don't have alot of money.

GAMESPOT to me is too small to stock MP3 players of any kind - not just the shelf but the security makes it useless to get a profit.
Stores don't profit selling these devices at their Retail price. They make their money selling ACCESSORIES.

as a former store manager of BBY I can't imagine who at Gamespots board ever decided this was a good idea.]]>May 23rd 2008 2:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/gamestop-aint-your-zunestop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/gamestop-aint-your-zunestop/May 23rd 2008 2:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/gamestop-aint-your-zunestop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/gamestop-aint-your-zunestop/May 23rd 2008 2:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/gamestop-aint-your-zunestop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/gamestop-aint-your-zunestop/
On topic: This was never good for GameStop. Why by a marked up version of the Zune when you can go to Wal-Mart and get it for 5 cents under retail?]]>May 23rd 2008 3:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/gamestop-aint-your-zunestop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/gamestop-aint-your-zunestop/

I don't know about that. I define "best" as "most stable, good software, easy to use, wont break 6 months after I buy it, not overpriced". My personal opinion is that Creative's Zen line still holds this title over iPod and Zune. I've used 'em all, and iPods break quite frequently it seems (and no, I do not abuse them). The Zune is a beautiful piece of hardware with bad software on it. The Zen is simple, plays all my media, hasn't broken (knock on wood), and is cheaper than an iPod. Even if you're a large corporation, you get what you payed for... Apple and Microsoft spend a lot on advertising compared to Creative, and so they move more units. It does not necessarily assert their superiority over other brands.]]>May 23rd 2008 2:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/gamestop-aint-your-zunestop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/gamestop-aint-your-zunestop/May 23rd 2008 2:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/gamestop-aint-your-zunestop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/gamestop-aint-your-zunestop/May 23rd 2008 3:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/gamestop-aint-your-zunestop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/gamestop-aint-your-zunestop/May 23rd 2008 4:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/gamestop-aint-your-zunestop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/gamestop-aint-your-zunestop/
As an owner of a Zen and now a Zune, I can tell you that you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.]]>May 23rd 2008 4:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/gamestop-aint-your-zunestop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/gamestop-aint-your-zunestop/May 23rd 2008 4:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/gamestop-aint-your-zunestop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/gamestop-aint-your-zunestop/May 23rd 2008 9:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/gamestop-aint-your-zunestop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/gamestop-aint-your-zunestop/May 23rd 2008 2:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/gamestop-aint-your-zunestop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/gamestop-aint-your-zunestop/May 23rd 2008 2:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/gamestop-aint-your-zunestop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/gamestop-aint-your-zunestop/

personally, i haven't been into a gamestop in probably 15 years. all the big box places have the same stock and usually lower prices. if i want something used - ebay. cheaper anyway.]]>May 23rd 2008 2:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/gamestop-aint-your-zunestop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/gamestop-aint-your-zunestop/May 23rd 2008 2:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/gamestop-aint-your-zunestop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/gamestop-aint-your-zunestop/May 23rd 2008 5:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/gamestop-aint-your-zunestop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/gamestop-aint-your-zunestop/May 23rd 2008 2:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/gamestop-aint-your-zunestop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/gamestop-aint-your-zunestop/May 23rd 2008 2:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/gamestop-aint-your-zunestop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/gamestop-aint-your-zunestop/May 23rd 2008 3:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/gamestop-aint-your-zunestop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/gamestop-aint-your-zunestop/
That must have been messy. In fact,I bet you made a real mess all over your Abercrombie & Fitch Cargo shorts while listening to My Chemical Romance on your iPod and drinking your half-caf double-decaf iced Mocchacino from Starbucks.

haha, I can only wish, good call though.

Your local retailer does all the selling to the consumer market.]]>May 23rd 2008 4:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/gamestop-aint-your-zunestop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/23/gamestop-aint-your-zunestop/So what, MS just gives them away for free to vendors?? What kind of a smartass comment are you trying to make?

Just to straighten you out MS "sells" them to a middle man who in turn sells them to another middle man or to consumers. So in the end MS does sell them to you just not directly bumbass. Have you not passes the 8th grade yet??
