Expect tons of Gamestops to close this year. Maybe they'll have just one store in each mall as opposed to 2 or 3.

Man, I know there's a general vibe of "FUCK GAMESTOP", and for good reason (considering their whole trade-in system is bullshit), but I like having a local game shop. The selection is bigger than the game section at your local Target or Walmart and I love that I can go buy a used copy of a DS or Wii game literally right now. Like, I know online stores are the future because "convenience", but there's nothing more convenient than just driving 5 minutes away the morning a new game comes out, picking up my copy, and then playing it, rather than hoping Amazon doesn't fuck up the delivery.
