I'm always surprised when I hear that people still use Gamestop. I switched to Amazon almost 5 years ago and it's been nothing but great.
Amazon typically isn't as good with older games as Gamestop. I've been buying quite a few last gen RPGs recently, and the used copies are normally lower priced on Gamestops website than Amazon. Like Fire Emblem 9 I got for 24 bucks including shipping and taxes using Gamestop coupons and my membership card, while it was like 28-30 bucks on Amazon. Skies of Arcadia I got for 19 bucks on Gamestop, while it was 35 on Amazon. And of course the amazing buy 2 PS2 games get 2 free deal I've been abusing.
That's kind of ridiculous, as there's plenty of retailers that sell games, and if Gamestop dies, another company could take over, hopefully one that's better.
Sure, someone will take over, but not with the clout of Gamestop, and it would hurt the American gaming industry for a while while it takes them some time to get to the level Gamestop was.
