Gamestop used Gamecube games - gone?
Picked up my Zelda LE preorder and saw the normal display of Gamecube games replaced with pre-owned Wii titles. When did this happen?

Re: Gamestop used Gamecube games - gone?
My locals still have GC stuff, quite a bit of it even. The games are dirt cheap though, so they'll be making the change soon too. One of them has Lost Kingdoms II CIB for $7... I was tempted to buy it just for the hell of it, even though I still have my copy.
Also... attention noiseredux... I think they had a CIB copy of that TMNT PS2 game you were looking for. Did you still want it?

Hmm as of two weeks ago this location still had them out, as do the other stores around me. Guess it's hitting PA a little later. I grabbed a ton a couple months back - glad I did so.

Local one around here hasn't had GC games for some time.
And last time I went in, there was a 5 foot stack of boxed used PS2s. Looked like it was going to tip over at any second.

I should note - they still had boxes of Gamecube used consoles for $30.00. Plenty of systems - just no games.
Re: Gamestop used Gamecube games - gone?
They still have quite a bit left at my local store, but then, my local store still has a freak-ton of complete PS2 games, so maybe we're just lucky over here. In fact, I can only think of one store I visited recently that didn't have any GC games still in their boxes, but they did still have them, even if they were in little sleeves
Assuming they still have them after Christmas, I'm planning on picking up a few more to round out my collection. There's only a couple more GC games I want to try to pick up.

Re: Gamestop used Gamecube games - gone?
^ I'm going to hijack my own thread but which Resident Evil games on the Cube are ones needed for a collection?
I think I just need a Super Mario Sunshine (I haven't been able to find Twilight Princess for the GC in a while) for my own collection besides potentially some RE ports. I've got the four wrestling titles, the Mario sports games, and the 1st party titles (including the Zelda disc that has the old games).
