The closest game store to me is 40 minutes away and its an EB so there are never any good deals there. There is a walmart about 20 minutes away but they have the absolute worst prices. So I was just wondering how many others are in the same position as me.

I happen to live in Wichita Falls, Tx and even most people in Texas think it's a pretty crappy place, but it actually has some decent stores.

1 Gamestop (With another opening soon about a mile from me!
1 Circuit City
1 Best Buy
1 CompUSA
2 Blockbusters
2 Hollywood Videos
1 Hastings
2 Wal-Marts
1 Target
1 FYE
1 Sears

So pretty much I can always get a deal whenever one's available. Also I go to Ft. Worth pretty much every weekend, and there's literally TONS of great stores in Ft. Worth.

I have a Gamestop 125 miles away.
Walmart is 75 miles away.

Needless to say, I do most of my game shopping online.

I have to drive like 20 minutes to the dayton mall to go to gamestop or funcoland. there is a mall down the street from me. no one goes there I'm sure everyone has one of these malls it only has a sears and 3/4 the mall is closed off because of no stores. it has baby cloths and shoes only.

wal mart and TRU, target, kmart are all like a 5 min drive from my house though.
