I you come across a second copy of the GunSmith Cats OVA hit me up with a PM, you know I've been looking for a copy!

[Zeonik Freak]

Will do, but my local blockbuster doesnt have it. You probably have a better chance to find it at a blockbuster around Raleigh since your closer. Im sure there is going to be a list of stores that will be closing online sometime soon.

You should go on Goozex and get a copy, thats where i got mine, a heck of alot cheaper to get than Amazon or ebay...

Well, how exactly does Goozex work?

Also upon a quick look at their site, how do I tell if someone has one up for trade?

It's time to check my local Blockbuster stores for some deals on anime and video games

From what I remember from the article in my local paper, they won't be closing them until the end of next year, and then it is only 20% of the stores that they have. So I wouldn't hold out too much hope for any good deals on scratched up stickered games.

I love that sketch!

I swear that's exactly what tourists are going to go see 50 years from now when they go to historical locations or old time villages.

EDIT: Fixed spelling!

My local branch closed a few months back. Honestly, they did it to themselves. I'd go to rent a series of movies, but they'd only have 2 or 3 out of 8 of them. Do they try to replace the missing movies? No. Most of the time I go to rent an older movie, I can't find it there. That's why I started NetFlix'ing.

I miss having the B-Buster there for the rare occasion I want to rent a game or spur of the moment movie. Other than that I could care less, between their hit-or-miss movie selection and high prices I wont miss it much.

That's great - but nothing tops their eerily predictive story from January 2001
