I think Gamestop is full of **** and are the biggest shysters out there and you should never do business with them. Just sell your games on Ebay if you don't like them, you will get FAR better deals than anything Gamestop would give you. Dealing with Gamestop employees is like dealing with used car salesman, no matter what your the one who's getting screwed.

The same thing goes for the tablet, just ignore it completely. Your better off without it. Seriously I hope Gamestop goes out of business!

It is a bad idea coming from a company that is desperate to adapt and catch up to the changing business model of gaming. Why would anyone buy an Android based tablet that is "Gamestop certified", does that even mean anything? There is already a tablet that has become the format of choice for most developers: the iPad. Even if people may prefer an Android tablet, there are already choices in the market from good manufacturers such as Samsung and LG available. Beside, would you trust Gamestop to deliver a compelling deal and worthwhile content for such a devise considering their track record of questionable business practices?

This is basically my first thought. The only other thing that might add some value is that they are apparently going to make a controller for the tablet which they hope will allow users to play console game ports.
