Yeah only problem was I couldnt find any. I am telling you the gamestops here suck...they all only care about the next big thing and just trash everything else. Seriously. I know I see used ones sell for cheap...but...when I saw it new...*sigh* it was love.

Does your local GameStop still have Gamecube and Xbox games?

Well that's because they were 'USED'.....

As systems age GameStop will eventually 'convert' all of their remaining NEW stock to 'USED' and capitalize on the profits brought on by a variable price instead of a strict MSRP. Usually this is brought on by our contract to sell in conjunction with manufacturers expiring leaving GameStop in full ownership of the product.

Take ICO for example: Up until about a month or two ago I could search through the computer at work and find new copies for $25. Now the game is one of the few PS2 titles in GameStop's back-stock that it now owns 100% and now sells it used for $30!
