Quick! Go to ebay NOW!

This week was, honestly, sort of meh in world of videogames, pop culture and technology. The game industry is lying a little low: Summer is long over, but the Holiday buying season has yet to begin. So we can find no over-arching narrative to the last seven days.
There were winners--Nintendo had to revise their earning estimates to include all the money they're earning--and losers--Army of Two was delayed because it seem like it isn't good enough yet--but overall, we gots nothing.
See below check out all the week's stories to make up your own narrative.

As part of a settlement that is awaiting final ruling, Sprint Nextel will begin unlocking phones for current and former customers.
This means that Sprint phones can be taken to Verizon to use and Verizon phones can be brought to Sprint Nextel to be unlocked.
They probably won't unlock Verizon phones for you and let you keep Verizon, however.
Sprint is a CDMA carrier, which means that SIM phones that would work on AT&T and T-Mobile won't work on their network.
