Aaaaaand....I was just told today that as of April 1st Gamestop will no longer be taking in Gamecube games. I sort of figured this was coming, but I'd hoped it wouldn't be so soon. Ah well, I guess it's time to try to pick up the rest of my "Want" list while I still can. Thankfully, I don't have that much left on it.

I would've thought, at this point, they'd wait until the Wii U was released before dropping Gamecube. Oh well, I better get Eternal Darkness and Sonic Gems while I still can.

I figured the same, but at least they'll have good deals like when they dropped Gba and oXbox. Looks like I'll finally get Twilight Princess.

I hope my Gamestop gets some trade-ins before April 1st. My Gamestop's current GCN selection is anemic. Most of the good stuff got cleared out in that sale several weeks back.

Same here. All my local ones have a terrible selection. I'm just looking forward to a price drop on that Twilight Princess. I hope I don't miss all the sales like I did for gba :(

That was my first thought too :(

Pretty sure that's the only reason the guy even told me about it. I bought 1 Gamecube game and his entire little speech went like, "...April 1st. So if you've got anything you don't want anymore, be sure to bring them in. :D "

Really? nothing about picking stuff up while I can? You sort of suck, Pedro :|

I went on a spurge before they stopped taking in the GBA games. I'm glad I did too, because, even though I had to pay a bit more, by the time they got around to more price drops everything was pretty much picked clean. :? So, I say if you come across anything you've been wanting or been putting off buying, pick it up now. Most of the Gamecube games are cheap enough now anyway.

I want to cancel a preorder I made. Is this possible? I let my guard down once again to those guys... Epic Fail.
