Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On September 12, 2007, the Board of Directors of CNET Networks, Inc. (the “Company”) approved amendments to the Company’s Bylaws to amend the provisions of Article IX of the Company’s Bylaws to permit the issuance and transfer of both certificated and uncertificated shares of capital stock, to comply with new rules enacted by The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC regarding eligibility for a “direct registration program” on or after January 1, 2008. Participation in a direct registration program enables investors to establish a “book-entry” position on the books of the Company in which shares are owned, recorded and transferred electronically through the Depositary Trust Company, without issuance of a physical stock certificate.

The amended Bylaws were effective as of September 12, 2007. The summary of changes to the Company’s Bylaws set forth above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Bylaws, a copy of which is attached to this report as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
