I like to pick up games locally when they're ridiculously expensive online, usually courtesy of the Amazon Marketplace Wishful Thinking Society. For this, Gamestop can be very good. If you have a particularly good store, the staff is very knowledgeable and helpful (and it's not their fault that the 12-year-old standing behind me wants GTA instead of Zelda ) and will do all they can to help out. I had the Henderson GS order a copy of Harvest Moon: Hero of Leaf Valley from another KY GS due to its ridiculous online price. A week later, I had Harvest Moon. Disc only, but it beats paying $50-60 (and probably still getting it disc only).
One of my anime bargain hunting buddies is helping me get a complete one, though... so I guess this disc only copy needs a new home, but I really appreciate the Henderson Gamestop helping me out. If Gamestops do close, I hope the one a quarter-mile away from my home is spared. They've only been open about 18 months, but they're great.
