I will only add a Gamestop if it is a very special occasion, and only on specific request. So sorry, unless you have a REALLY good reason, I will have to pass on adding those Gamestops.

Yeah it doesn't make any sense to clutter up the list with Gamestops.

I don't say that with the Gamestop sucks mentality, I'm just saying it doesn't make sense because unless you live in a rural area, it's a guarantee that you have access to a Gamestop. There's a store locator or whatever on their site anyway.

You're right, should add "United States of" in front of it so that it takes up even more room.

Pretty sure there is no continent called America. North America is a continent, and South America is a continent. Pretty sure there would be some South Americans that would take offense to you lumping them in with us as one continent...

You might as well just list every place on Earth, "Earth"
:P

Alright, alright, jeez. I just did that because the USA had the longest list by far. Would you like me to call the UK by it's proper name, as well: "The United Kingdom As Governed By Queen Elizabeth The Second In Reign Since The June-Month Of Nineteen And Fifty-Three"? I'll change it when I get back to my laptop, just cool your jets, alright?

I don't know if it's been posted but The Last Game Store in Halifax, Nova Scotia is likely the best game store in the province. (To my knowledge)

http://www.facebook.com/Lastgamestore

And if you're unfounrtinate enough to live near the south end of the province Gatorbyte has an okay selection of games. Most of what they have is NES, n64, atari, ps1, ps2 and xbox games but also have the odd Master System game.

Anybody know anything about Dpad in San Marcos, Texas? I went there not to far back, but it was a quick trip, and I didn't take time to look around. How is it? I picked up 2 gamecube games and left, so I don't know about the selections for other systems or anything.
Systems: Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, N64, Gamecube, Xbox 360

WTB: Boxes for a silver Gamecube System(and a hyperport cover), and a box for an Ice Blue N64 console. Will pay 7.50 for each and shipping.
