Nintendo tells E3 to get stuffed, and rolls out playable previews across the country instead.

A very rare gaming artifact was nearly dumped in the shredder, thanks to Best Buy's corporate policy. But little R.O.B. got a stay of execution.

Best Buy has not exactly been on a streak of late.

It's a tradition as old as gaming: you buy a game, play it until you've squeezed every moment of sweet enjoyment out of it, and then sell it to finance your next round of gaming.

Last November, in a post predicting doom for Best Buy and four other tech brands in 2012, UPROXX contributor Dan Seitz said the following.

Technology is a business that moves at warp speed.
