Wow, 1.6 billion dollars. :Q

Just another way for CNet to buy out everyone, pathetic really. Pisses me off to see them do this. Ziff Davis was actually somewhat good.

Except they were in bed with Intel sometimes...

I wish it was the other way around...

I like gamespot more than gamecenter....I also like ZDnet's shareware site more...



<< Wow, 1.6 billion dollars >>

you got that right

I liked Killer App and Shopper.com SO much more before C|Net bought them

Sweet!!! Now instead of two lame-@ss opinions for the average consumer to get caught up in, we only have one to deal with.

 

[Crystal Bay]

Goooooo Softbank!!!! you need the money...

 

[Prodigy^]

hehe Wingznut

shite.....$1.6 for an internet-company....how much can it be worth?? 98% of that has be be solely paying for the name

What will happen to ZDTV? Will they just can all the shows?

 

[firehawk2]

i hate ZDTV for some reason, boring show! they only have like 10-12 shows!

 

[ForeverSilky]

That's true, I sometimes would watch Screen Savers. Gamespot TV was just pathetic.

 

[LocutusX]

As long as CNET's stock price goes up, I'll be happy. I'm itching to sell...

 

[dawks]

How about Telefonica's buy-out of Lycos, $12.5 Billion?!?!?
For Lycos????? OMFG. Lycos is the worst portal.

ZDTV isn't owned by Ziff Davis anymore. Paul Allen bought it earlier this year, they're not affected by the merger.
