very peculiar that GAME would support a competitor in this way?

I recall a recent story where gamestop in america actually opened up new copies of deus ex and removed onlive game codes.
I'd guess there is going to be a lot of upset individuals who rush out and buy this new tech only to realise their connections are not upto scratch etc, and a lot of broadband upgrades, maybe they should have partnered with BT instead, it would have made more sense.
