Video to remember(Plus commentary)...

They have been having tons of problems and closing lots of stores, so I guess this really isn't a surprise. anyway, people who use Gamecrazy might want to check and cancel pre-orders if necessary.

Thats sucks if true. I saw a bunch already shut down, and (blockbusters too). If it weren't for amazon/gamefly I'd buy my games from there seeing how I hate gamestop.

EDIT: Thank you for posting those vids, man that training video is gold. Can't believe that someone saw that and said, "yeah this will be a great training video"

Yeah the Gamecrazy near my house closed last year. Now I mostly buy my games from Amazon and sometimes target and Gamestop (if I want a new game now).

good thank god i dont use them , i use pawn shops and independant stores that sellgames for far cheaper then eb or any retail chain does

for example halo 2-2 dollars-pawn shop

rugrats brand newsealed -6,99 i bet if it wereat a chain itwould be at least 10 -12 dollars

(which is the case with most usedgames ive seen in independant vs retail take quake iv i paid 10 gamestop wanted 20 at the time)

and the pawnshops igo to they resurface their disc gamestop does not thus youget games that are scratched, in my opinion if agame is badly scratched they should mark it down in price and mark as-isespecally if they aintgot no morecopies charge you like 2-3 dollars for those causeyou know itll freeze some where

also when you pawn you can get what asystem is worth also you can get it back out

you cant do that at gamestop or gamecrazy

i preordered at gamestop and always will ,, except for a few ocasion when idid online at walmart.com

just today i paidfor smg2 ,hopfully i get a bonus as i did with smg

this sucks as I love game crazy, but yea I believe it, I live in chicago and they just recenlty shut down every single branch in Illinois which Id have thought would be one of there largest income areas, and Ive already heard from employees Im personal friends with (Ive been shopping there for years) that the indiana and iowa ones are going as well.

other then the occasional pre order bonus gamespot is quite possibly the biggest rip off of a video game store this world's seen, I mean seriously if you dont like game crazy why not do play n trade which ftr sold all the games you listed for around the same price as that pawn shop ;)

In this part of CA we only have Gamestops and Electronics Boutiques. Never seen a Gamecrazy in these parts.

I bet. They finally overtook their last "large" competitor as far as I know.

Now it's all mom and pop stores. This one near me kicks ass though. They easily bring in enough revenue to stay afloat with Gamestop just a mile and a half down the street.
