Took less than a week to get here, called me up and I was able to pick it up without hassle. I've definitely had some problems with Gamestop, and I hate how they gut new games (especially SE copies) but lately I've definitely had some luck finding games in the condition I've wanted, that would cost much more to purchase on amazon or ebay. So it's definitely not all bad.
The Good
THIS. The best way to get a very uncommon game at a good price. Gamestop has a great online site for checking availability. I have found games simply by entering random zip codes at home, then go to the local Gamestop to call and ship the game. It is best to go on a weekday early morning when the store is near empty. This frees up the employee to call and find a far away game CIB.
The Bad
A brand new Gamestop opened less then a week ago nearby. This is actually good with a very clean store and well in stock. The Bad is NO GBA, PS2 or Gamecube games or accessories! The only Gamecube related component is peg hooks full of the Gamestop Pelican Wii/Gamecube controllers. These will go on clearance soon.
The Ugly
Reality sets in, PS2 and Gamecube days are numbered. I hope they would last longer, Soon PS2 and Gamecube games will no longer be traded in and the remaining games will sell thru. Load up while you can.
