Hey, I just wanted to remind everyone to try and support the local stores whenever you get a chance. We all know Gamestop, EB, etc all suck and their employees are the worst employees in the world so if you have a local indie video game store around, buy your stuff from them. If they don't have something, they will gladly order it for you.
When you buy something at Gamestop, the profits go to the fat cat corporate head at the top so he can buy himself another yacht in the french riviera. When you buy something from a mom and pop shop the profits go to whoever owns the shop and eventually back into the local economy helping everyone.
The drawback to the mom and pop shops is that they may not be able to afford having everything you want on hand the way a Gamestop would, but if you tell them what you want they will gladly order it for you and do it in a personable and friendly manner and it will arrive in a couple days.
I'm on a first name basis with the people who own the 2 shops around here. I pre-ordered all my new games from them and got them a couple hours earlier than I would at Gamestop.
Next time you're at Gamestop and the mean spirited guy behind the counter tells you "If you don't pre-order so and so you might as well forget about ever getting it because it will be sold out for the next year anywhere you go" tell him "That's okay. I pre-ordered it at my local independant shop instead"
