Via the San Francisco Chronicle:
In an effort to avoid the fate of Blockbuster, Circuit City and others in the remainder bin of failed retailers, GameStop has embarked on a daring, if inglorious, strategy: refashioning itself from a console-game purveyor into a repairer and reseller of Apple gadgets, betting that its retail visibility will prove an advantage.
With the world of game cartridges slipping away, GameStop is making the right decision by focusing on Apple’s phones, tablets and the iPod touch. If they do it right, they could become the best place to get cheap(er) Apple products, and their retail stores’ size and distribution footprint are a big advantage in reaching that goal.
