The largest video game retailer in the world has shifted its gaze onto the new Wikipad tablet. In doing so, Gamestop has now partnered with the creators of the new tech, Wikipad Inc.
The Wikipad tablet is the first tablet ever to feature an attatchable console like gamepad, finally making the much needed leap from casual touch games to gradually introduce more of a hardcore audience. This gaming/tablet machine will be unleashed to the masses on October 31st, 2012 for a price of $499.00
Fraser Townley, the President of Sales for Wikipad, Inc. wanted gamers to know that Gamestop is the place to go for the new device. He went on to say "GameStop is the retail destination when it comes to video games. Nobody but GameStop provides gamers with the best gaming content on the market. And for those that purchase or pre-order a Wikipad at GameStop, their tablet will have access to valuable extras including exclusive free, full-length game titles. The Wikipad is powered by an Nvidia Tegra 3 processor and will support PlayStation®Mobile platform.”
Interested buyers can pre-order right now over at the Gamestop website. Anyone who does will be handsomely rewarded with extra items, including an issure of Game Informer Digital, and other full-length titles. When the Wikipad launches this October, it certainly aims to come out swinging with its variety of games straight from PlayStation®Mobile, NVIDIA’s Tegra Zone, and Google Play. Every Wikipad device is powered by Nvidia Tegra processors, and is completely certified by Sony Playstation Mobile.
The vice president of GameStop’s mobile business unit, Joe Gorman said “We are thrilled to be partnering with Wikipad to launch this unique new gaming tablet. We love the innovation and know our customers are excited to see it in action.”
