IGN includes all the seperate IGN sites (xbox, ps2, PC, filmforce, etc.), gamespy, fileplanet, and a ton more.

I wonder what they'll fvck up first. :laugh:

Its hard to fvck up crap :p

I can't wait for the IGN channel to suck.

Crap or not, you don't get that many users by doing the wrong thing.

Aside from gaming their DVD and filmforce sites were pretty good too.

$650 million for that is a heck of a lot of money. I'm very surprised at the amount.
