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.

GameFAQs is part of GameSpot which is part of CNET not IGN.

oh they switched? I recall they were part of IGN before.

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