Mad-Dogg posted... Yeah this is also my situation outside of the local gamestop just being in a convenient spot.
Like I said before, the video game selection at my local wal-mart, target, and even best buy these days is just going to be the mainstream stuff. Your 2K sports titles, EA titles, whatever ubisoft is current slinging etc. Now we had a mom and pop video game place......that only lasted about 4 years before they shut down.
Whenever I am getting a video game thats a bit more niche/a limited or collector edition release then it has to be gamestop. Like my tormented souls disc, hades disc, after image deluxe edition, any falcom game or nis game is coming from gamestop.
Amazon is not a option because pre-ordering brand new games from them is god awful down my way. Even with prime you ain't getting shit for like at least a week when it comes to these smaller games.....poor bastards who pre-ordered the mega man battle network collection physical didn't even get theirs for 2 weeks up towards a month from amazon. Meanwhile those of us who pre-ordered at gamestop just went to the store (or actually got it from their online store, but man the online store shipping price is bonkers from gamestop these days).
Let's be real. The moment GameStop shuts down, either all of these niche titles they only had the guts to carry will either be digital only or be online only to buy physically.
