The GameStop store shows the beginning trend of truly customizable experiences and best of breed technologies embedded directly in Facebook. The showcase store is set to usher in a new era of Facebook store development by top retailers which utilize the most cutting edge technologies available, enabling social shopping experiences to support the rapid growth of Facebook commerce.
But why, you may ask, does GameStop want to put a store on Facebook?
