		GameStop is now taking pre-orders for a cheaper, more feature filled edition of the Xbox 360 mega-hit, now at a $39.99 USD price point that should appeal to cheap ass gamers(TM) and drum up extra hype for Gears of War 2.

	GameStop, index.php - Kotaku (Site not responding. Last check: )
		A GameStop mole sent us some inventory scans showing that the chain is preparing for the arrival of the DS Lite.
		While usually willing to take pre-orders on wishes and dreams, GameStop is now crushing them by quietly pushing back the release for their number one pre-reserved game to June 1st.
		Likewise, the GameStop website still has an October 2006 Pre-Release ETA, but covers their own asses by writing, "Price, release date, content and title are subject to change and/or cancellation by vendor." Warnings like that of course are standard practice.

	GameStop "Having Major Troubles" Says Insider - Kotaku
		Gamestop recently acquired EB Games and it's no secret that right now they're in debt because of this move, but if all goes as planned, it'll pay off ten fold.
		Gamestop paid out millions to "merge" with EB this year, as a result shareholders had to vote if they agreed with the expenditure.
		The fiscal year end is in Feb for EB Gamestop, which means that they have to deliver gross profit results with shareholders, obviously it is not in line with projections so a spending freeze has been put on.

	GameStop Removes GTA San Andreas from Stores - Xbox
		GameStop Corp., announced today that it has removed Take-Two Interactive's Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas for all platforms from all of its retail locations and its e-commerce website based on the decision by the Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB) to change the game's rating from Mature (M) to Adults Only (AO).

	GameStop up next for 360 kiosks - Xbox 360 Lounge (Site not responding. Last check: )
		According to one GameStop employee, a company e-mail sent out to the near 2,000 stores stated that Xbox 360 stations would begin appearing at the outlets starting today, with the goal being that each store have a station within a month.
		Preorders for the console have become difficult to come by, and analysts have trimmed down the number of units they believe will be available on November 22 (one has a dire figure of 300,000 to 350,000 in the US).
		Should each Wal-Mart, GameStop, EB Games, Best Buy, and every other viable candidate get an Xbox 360 kiosk (and provided the machines in the kiosk are the real deal), it's possible that more than 10,000 gamers in the US may be left empty-handed while shoppers paw at a perfectly good machine.
