    Works for me...Like gamestop better then EB anyhow.

    I just hope their prices remain low now that half their competition is gone.

    Competition begets lower pricing. Without stiff competition, then prices will rise. Unless they view places like WalMart and Best Buy as competition, then they'll have to drop prices even more.

    Fortunately there are still a bunch of small sellers online in addition to the bricks and mortar retailers providing competition. Then there is the one and only place to buy games if you hate paying to much.

    The Gamestop here hardly has any PC games.  While the EB has tons of them.

    I hope Gamestop starts selling more PC games.

    Fewer sellers = higher prices.

    Yeah, we have like 3 gamestops here. One has like this small shelf thing of PC Games, and another has like 2 walls and a shelf full. I think it just depends on who's managing the store.

    I can only agree, around here I have 2 EB-shops & 1 Game. Right now I can use the "lowest price"-guarantee (but bundle sales usually mess those up) & get better prices. Also the stores usually lower prices on some games on the same day.... ::::40::

    wow, this is sad to see. I always prefered the way EB ran things over that of GameStop
