You know what else I've noticed? I can't find any Blockbuster stores anymore.

Admit it... You still buy your electronics at Radio Shack...

Kind of strange. They must be struggling a little bit financially, yet they are a fairly part time sponsor for Joe Gibbs Racing in NASCAR, and that ain't cheap.

Everyone has been predicting their demise for a long time now, and they've managed to stay alive. The latest back catalog online service announcement by Microsoft caused GS's stock to take a sizable hit.

Physical media is going the way of blockbuster video.

Yep, they took a major hit with the recent Microsoft online announcement. So for PC games (with Steam) and now Xbox, there's no need to go to Gamestop/Best Buy etc to buy the gam unless you want some collector's edition box that costs $100.

I went there to trade games in. Pretty shitty return but if you plunk down 50 bucks, they were 20 back then, and find the game sucked you could recoup some of it back.

Now it's buyer beware and check out "before you buy ..." on you tube

GameStop sucks. Their commercials suck even more.

Well, Blockbuster could've still been in business if they had bought Netflix when it was offered to them years ago, whoops!!!

GameStop is a blight on the gaming community. It does everything it can to cheat its customers (we'll give you 6 bucks for this game then try to sell it for 40) and keep developers from getting money for their work.

Btw, I have a gaming YouTube channel! Check it out! (Info in the signature)

I've got 2 pc's and a PS4.

Bi? tri-curious?

In addition, I also have a Wii, a 360 and a Sega Saturn...

I'm just all sorts of confused!
