    I hope they don't close the one closest to me. It's 30 miles away already. The nearest one after that is 50 miles away. Did I mention I hate living in the mountains?

    My closest one is over 100 miles away. That might be a good thing though haha, but I did travel there to get Xenoblade

    There are several near me and closing one of two won't make much of a difference, except for the fact that I occasionally do work in some of them. So far the only one I know of that closed was Gamestop Kids but that was only suppose to be opened for the holidays anyway.

    Good I hope gamestop closes. Maybe then they would actually make an effort to retain customers. Quit gutting games and hire knowledgeable employees, overall be consistent. Why do some people have one gamestop they go to because all the others are bad or had bad experiences?

    As much as I hate gamestop, its bad news for the industry. A lot of bad stuff going on lately. THQ, Junction point, zipper interactive, etc. just release one bad game and they close. Nintendo not making profits??? Sony and microsoft too. Best buys closing stores. Something is wrong...

    Only take a look at all the businesses projected to have massive store closings this year on my originally linked article to know the economy remains in the tank, despite what governmental leaders say. I always said that 'recession' was the wrong word to use in all the propaganda being spread by media and government agencies.

    Tired going out into the world and dealing with people and driving/walking/taking a bus to the store to buy your goods? Ya know one of the activities you humans do to maintain a healthy social lifestyle.

    In all seriousness though I think them buying out EB games is what is the problem here. Most eb games turned into game stop and now there is more game stops then there is really needed in some areas like for instance in Burlington area vermont we have about 160,000 people to cater to. There is 3 game stops. I think we can deal with closing 1 of them.

    Hi there let me help you!
    Amazon.com rocks. You can find great prices for new and used games from their warehouse deals. Amazon and eBay are my go-to places. Newegg also has some good prices on games and they also sell on eBay. Let the games come to you and often far cheaper than retail or what you'd pay at Gamestop. Often there's no tax too and free shipping.

    It's nice to see a new Gamestop complaint thread posted, it's almost been a whole day since the last one was locked.

    If the only way you can socialize is through shopping then there's something wrong with your social skills. You shouldn't have to get someone to talk to you as part of their job.

    Tablets are taking over. Laptops, Desktops, Tv and handheld gaming consoles are the next in line to die off. F'in BS.

    As soon as I found out about this through my cousin



    I thought yep.... Gaming as we know is screwed... Good bye regular consoles.... Good bye physical media....

    Meaning your IOS and android device is capiable of running a full 3d rendered sandbox style game. I mean granted the graphics are old The game was made 10 years ago.. But still I can play this on my cell phone and not give a shit. Its gotta make nintendo and sony cringe about their portables a bit to know that cell phones and tablets are basically knocking on their door wanting to join the party.
