No, I’m not kidding. A few days back we reported Ziff Davis was selling 1UP and EGM. Well, it looks like the site’s already been bought and is now within the unforgiving claws of Dell. Notice the new logo in the top left corner of the site.
Apparently, going to http://www.1up.com doesn’t display the logo. However, going to http://dell.1up.com does. On the right hand side of the page is a “casual gaming” bar with “Dell gaming console 2.0” listed as the first item. The word “Dell” is all over the page.
[Editor’s note: A lot of people seem to be skeptical about this, myself included. While everything so far indicates that 1UP has been bought over, it hasn’t been confirmed. An e-mail has been sent by Destructoid to the concerned parties. We are currently awaiting a reply.]
