Don't be shocked when the next CSI PC game gets a 10.

This could be a good deal if it affected us gamers in any way (which I think it doesn't). But all in all good for THEM I guess. But whats in it for us gamers??

If anything Bleu, it means Gamespot will be even worse for gamers, CBS will have to make that money back somehow.

Their credibility is already blown to hell, may as well put out all the 'sponsored' reviews they can.

That is the reward for blowing all of your credibility; A 45% premium on the price of your stock, that you don't deserve. Kudos to the executives and shareholders that managed to secure this deal, but it's not going to bring any of the "core" (hardcore) gamers back to the website.

Just goes to show you that no matter how many gerstmangates you have, there will always be a way for executives to profit in the end.

Something tells me that the part with the line through it is closer to the truth. I bet this bites CBS in the @$$

See, this is great. Now all the money distributors pay in bribes for good reviews can be used to finance a third season of Jericho!

I wonder if CBS has any spare marketing people to employ on the editorial side of Gamespot? That's been working out REALLY well for CNet.

You know, I don't care about Gamespot, since November I havn't been there more than twice. BUT, what about Gamefaqs? That's a site I don't want to see anything too major happen to.

Goodbye Gamespot. You were on your deathbed, but I'm afraid you just flat lined. Oh well, you've been dead to me for a while. It's sad though, you used to be one of my favorite websites.

CBS is probably a lot more interested in the news.com and tv.com domains that are a part of this deal than Gamespot. In perspective, it's not that ridiculous a purchase.

A year ago, I might have cared. It's isn't like CBS could make Gamespot any worse now. Not without sending biological waste to you in the mail every time you close a pop-up ad.

These is sad thing,Gamespot was amazing before,it had great reviews features and a charming personality for a games site,but it has gone downhill,the Gerstman incident just worsened it,and these is the killing blow.

Why would they pay in cash? Do they get some kind of discount? I never use or have cash and it really pisses me off when I can't get a candy bar out of the damn vending machine (although I guess it saves me from being a giant fat ass). When are vending machines going to join this century and start taking my goddamn debit card!

Wow, according to the Post, CBS will have to figure out to "monetize the brand." We all know how Gamespot monetizes the brand. "Dear Eidos, please review the advertising rate sheet and let us know which score you choose for your game."
