PSP "Dual Pack" UMD's Will Hit Gamestop soon

Capcom has released a dual pack UMD bundle of some of the most popular PSP games to grace the console. The first dualpack features Mega Man Maverick Hunter X and Mega Man Powered Up. The second dualpack is Monster Hunter Freedom Unite and Monster Hunter Freedom Unite 2. These are great deals, in my opinion. The dual packs come at the impressive $15 mark. The only problem is that they are Gamestop exclusives. Though, thankfully for you, they are also available online.

Gamestop Pulls PC Version Of Deus Ex: Human Revolution From Shelves

MjolnirX - Gamestop has decided to pull the PC version of Deus Ex: Human Revolution from its store shelves because it contains a redemption code for the OnLive version of the game. This redemption for OnLive is in direct conflict with Gamestop's possibly soon-to-be-announced (maybe?) online game streaming service. Gamestop will still honor all returns and pre-orders, but it will no longer be possible to buy the game from the shelf. Console versions will still be available for purchase.

Driver: San Francisco Launching As Both A Retail Game And As A Downloadable

Castrum - While chances are this game will suck ass, this is certainly a milestone for gaming in general, as most publishers wouldn't dare risk GameStop's wrath:

A full downloadable version of Driver: San Francisco will arrive on PSN alongside the retail version of the game, Ubisoft's Gareth Edmonson revealed during a Gamescom panel last week. That's right: In what's likely to be our favorite irony of the month, you don't have to actually drive anywhere to buy the new Driver.

GameStop Beta-Testing Console Game Streaming

Castrum - This could be interesting:

Gamestop has been testing a console game streaming service and hopes to have a beta in place by year's end, according to a report from GamesIndustry.biz. 

... 

We know this will be a service for members of GameStop's PowerUp Rewards program and that demos will be provided, but the rest (most importantly, the pricing) is a mystery. But take heart: GI.biz reports we can expect more details early next year, with a full roll-out by the middle of 2012.
