the first link, deciphers the techical jargon a little bit, from the official legal notice. basically, this is how i see things goin' down. this one dude, LOUIS DeGRADI, took KBToys to court, because of how KBT marked it's prices. Let's say, a game sells MSRP $49.99, and that price is everywhere, no sales, no nothin'. KBT goes and makes a price that is, let's say $59.99. Then they put a big black X over that price, and hand write the price of $49.99, making it look like the game was reduced by KBToys. this dude saw that, and decided to do something pretty brave, and took these foo's to court.
so now, KBT has to mark of 30% off sales over $30 during the 8th to the 14th
