Then why is there nothing within 60 miles of Chicago?

Riddle me that.
Why are GameStop corporate dicks?

I don't know, but the internet runs on black magic and gamestop only updates it's inventory once a day at 7am.

Probably no copies of the particular game locally, Noise mentioned the rarity. Left hand side of column has an entry for your home store. That way you don't have to enter your Zip code on every new search.

Well, right, but Mod_Man said that the dots on the big map showed where (at least near to) the game is. But then I checked one of Chicago's zip codes and it didn't have it.

A "Holy Grail" Euro game in the U.S. market. I'll have to keep an eye out on this one, along with that Alien Hominid game.

EDIT
Going to make a few cry.
Maybe that Euro find could happen. I did buy a brand new sealed Dreamcast PAL Shenmue 2 game at Gamestop years ago. I think a one time special order purchase, there were ten on the shelf. Stupid me, not buying a couple extra copies.

Seems there's one store near me with a copy of the game.

Maybe I ought to pop over and grab it...

The resell value alone online will probably pay for a cheap Vectrex.

I don't think those gray dots are supposed to indicate copies. If I start zooming in, the dots for Houston and Sugar Land disappear. Also putting in my zip code still says none within 60 miles like it did months ago.

I couldn't find one. If anyone can pick one up for me I'd happily pay for it - just shoot me a PM :D
