That's an absolutely huge number for any retailer. Of course, they're crying poor, but that doesn't sound right.

Looks like they'll stay open for a bit. Other shops, not so sure.

They didn't get any of my money in 2008.

Why do people hate on GameStop so much? They actually stock a wide variety of games and its the only B&M store where I can find older PS2, Xbox, and GameCube games.

I'm not really surprised. I still shop at GameStop (they do stuck quite a bit of games and it's easiest for me to ditch my games there), but I don't really like them. I still miss the original EB Games. I'll probably go there today to ditch a few PS3 games.

I wonder how much of that is profit since they make only a few bucks on new games.

Yeah, but soccer moms looking for that "operation game for the Wii" (actual terms I heard come out of a woman's mouth) don't know the difference.
