EB Games sheds skin for GameStop |

Not seeing much EB Games stores lately? That would be because it appears as though the merge of EB Games and GameStop sealed in 2005 is finally closing up all loose ties for good. Gaming Target reports that in Rochester, NY, two more branches of EB Games have been renamed to GameStop as of last week.Although the merge happened two years back, both companies still retained their individual identities - until today, that is. Since GameStop acquired EB Games, the latter has been slowly assimilated into the GameStop profile, and today, it seems that the makeover is drawing its completion. Official announcements on the matter have yet to be given by the companies involved, but you yourself can check that EB Games stores have been silently "disappearing" from neighborhoods, and are instead replaced with GameStop stores.
But while EB Games will be sorely missed, we can only wish for good things to come out of this change. We'll be sure to keep you posted on more updates.

Anyway, I wish my EBgames would change it's name to gamestop, I think they are making this change LOOONG and useless (since it'll be the same anyway). They should just redirect the ebgames site to gamestop site and change every banner/name/etc right now, it would cost a lot of money, but after that, everything would be done right? it would take less time for us to accomodate :S
I mean, when I'm on the gamestop website, I click on "find the nearest store" and with my postal code, with give me "EBgames stores" :S lol it's just wierd, even wierder if you don't know that ebgames was bought by gamestop, lol.

Personally I felt that eb was better before the gamestop take over... better products and deals imo.
