There's three or 4 in the Chicago area. The two closest to me are run by a douche bag and they are clearly in trouble. Their stock hasn't changed in 2 years, and they are selling new hardware with added accessories at losses (a 360 4g New with tossed in hdmi is like $180).

The two furthest from my house seem to be owned by a different person, and while the service was much better there, and the employees seem like actual gamers running a store, there are small hints that they too are in trouble.

A friend who worked at GC before they closed applied to a PnT , and walked out midway through the interview process when he realized how they handle certain situations.

YMMV.
