Who the hell buys a Zune at GameStop?

GameStop, a leading video game retailer, has decided that it will no longer stock Microsoft’s Zune players, citing poor sales. And while I don’t quite agree with my fellow-blogger Don Reisinger that this is the beginning of the end for Zune, it’s hard to see any silver lining in the news.

From Microsoft loses a Zune retailer by Matt Rosoff

um, what? When Best Buy and Circuit City stop selling them, then call me. I can’t think of a single reason I would go to GameStop to buy an iPod much less a Zune. Someone tell me why this is news….

This guy is more of a threat to Microsoft Zune than GameStop is….

For the record, I won’t even buy games at GameStop, they sell used games for $3-4 under retail, that’s just crazy. Maybe they should merge with GameCrazy.

UPDATE: Somehow this story made the front page of MSNBC.com, is it really that big of a story?
