Weird, eh?

The real kicker, though, are the "gamer reviews" at the bottom of both pages.

They are exactly the same!!  Written by the same people and saying the exact same thing.

I ask again - aren't they in competition with each other?

They look alike now because EB is now owned by Gamestop.\r \r So they are one in the same essentially.

Yep, I was going to say the same thing at Gatsu... \r \r Something about \"Wholey owned subsidiary\".\r

It is cheaper to subsidize than to change everything from one company name to another. Plus, it gives the illusion of competition enabling a variety of sales techniques and limits the attention from other big businesses.

Actually Marines are given a bad rap. In general I think they are the smartest of the services...I have heard also that they are more able to input in their command structure...superiors trust them more?
