The Kindle Fire line of tablets is the latest set of electronics to grace GameStop store shelves in the US, the Texas company announced recently. From the baby 7-inch all the way to the larger 8.9-inch, the entire Fire line will be carried in all of GameStop's 4,400 US-based locations after a successful test run earlier this year with various Android-based tablets.

When you buy a Kindle Fire from Gamestop, you get a $25 Amazon Gift card.

Gamestop seem to be slowly turning into Radioshack which also sells video games, tablets, and electronics.

I bet the Amazon Kindle Fire will bring more costumers to Gamestop since game console browsers are still not as good as Desktop PC web browser, and a laptop is kind of heavy and bulky compared to a small tablet like the Kindle Fire which has a lot of better web browsers like Dolphin or Boat Browser then consoles, and there are a lot of ebooks about video games, and video game magazines which people can buy from Amazon's website with the Kindle.

The Amazon Kindle Fire HD can also play a lot of 3D Tablet games like Asphalt 7 which are cheap and fun to play with on a touchscreen.
 
they selling kindle fires or kindle fire HDs? And radio shack doesn't carry that many video games.
 
I believe they are selling both, but the Kindle Fires they sell are most likely used since people trade them in for in-store credit/cash to buy a new Amazon Kindle Fire HDs.

Radioshack has a small corner of video games before it shutdown in Canada, but the selection is not very large.
