GameStop is a US retailer that sells video games and video game consoles, and are now are joining the market for growing tablet retailers. More than 1,600 stores across the country are now stocking select Android based tablets. They are marketing them as gaming tablets in part of their expanding market. They sell some of the top tablets such as the Acer Iconia, Asus Transformer and Samsung Galaxy.
GameStop started selling them in some stores since November 2011 as part of a soft launch. Now they stock them in most store locations. Consumers who buy them will also find a few extras with their purchase, such as select free games on the tablet such as Riptide and Sonic CD. The prices should remain within the same range as Bet Buy or WalMart. However, GameStop does stress that you can trade in for it with games, consoles and even Apple products including the iPad.
This move appears to be made in time before the E3 launch. As we see with the iPod/iPhone/iPad, the gaming market is slowly changing and GameStop is making sure that they can get a piece of the mobile gaming market as it grows.
