apparently it's an online grocery store that does door-to-door deliveries in select area codes.

Yup. Right now it's just the Puget Sound area, but you can have attended or unattended doorstop delivery of groceries and select non-grocery items. Delivery fee is $6, or free if you spend > $125 on an order or spent >$300 last month. It's the most amazing thing ever.

Looking at some of the prices on there even if that was available in my area I think I'd still be going to the grocery store.

Food is the only thing I don't buy online. I have used a few different online food delivery services, but going to the actual store was better overall so I stopped doing it.

WebVAN was great for canned and boxed goods, but produce you still want to hand select

I'm curious how this will do, they had something like that here before and it failed horribly. I'm outside of their delivery area, I guess I could get it at work, but that's just too much hassle.

Not sure if this is the case for anybody else, but my GS is no longer accepting PS2 or GC games for trade. I haven't been following this for a while so it may have been mentioned, but with no new stock I have no reason to even look in my gamestop anymore. I'll use gamefinder if I'm looking for something specific. Only reasons for me to go in there anymore are used DS/PSP/Wii games and I don't even buy those that often. Better off getting current gen games from amazon since they're always cheaper...

I called one of my local Gamestop stores as soon as read this to verify, and they tell me they're still accepting Gamecube and PS2 games.

I hate my gamestop. Thanks for verifying for me. I'll go to another one and trade in my disc-onlies there.
