Overall it would be kinda bad, it would kill local stores like that especially if they have decent prices. However it would probably make it easier for us to get common stuff and people to begin collecting. Not for people who are hunting for those hard to find games.

Anything that people think is rare or valuable (like RPGs) are probably going to be priced about what they are now.

Look on the bright side. GS could come out with their own classic game magazine and subscribers would get a discount on classic games. Plus they'd probably have a buy 2 get one free sale. Not only that, but they might also allow you trade in all your crappy new games for classic games. What's not to like about that?

But the small shops don't have much of a selection compared to what GS would have. GS has hundreds of stores that would rake in all the old games from around the country, and with such an influx of older games suddenly being available that weren't before, prices would surely drop.

Just imagine how much more would be available to you thanks to GS's advertising dollars.

I worked at GameStop in 2006. Right when they bought out E.B. Games.. I remember at this point they were shipping off most of the PS2 / GameCube / Xbox games to make room for the new gen. Come to find out, they basically destroyed a lot of them. Hell, even now.. they would throw away the boxes / cases to make room since they didn't sell that often.

That was the worst job I ever had. 3 and a half weeks and I couldn't take anymore.

Btw, I read a article or two about what you're posting about. I really don't think it's going to happen. Its hard for game stores to sell games at ebay prices. it just doesn't sell well with ' normal ' people...

I know a ton of people hate gamestop but whether you like it or not they are a good middle man in preventing the industry from screwing over customers really hard. DRM is only growing more and more intrusive and publishers really want gamestop out of business since they get nothing out of used game sales. Not that they even should get anything to begin with.

I see some benifits to gamestop retro stores. What if they are actually very successful even with these retro stores and force the industry to stop jewing people with all these stupid passes and over priced modern games? Maybe if it catches on enough and people start buying more and more older games that are more common and priced fairly a ton of the bs we now have to deal with will stop.

I don't know I can just see more positives then negatives with this. Besides things have gotten horrible lately and I wouldn't mind going back now, especially if prices on some of these older games become reasonable and maybe some companies decide many people are just sick of their ways.

this is bullshit, Funco, GameStop and EB would literally throw boxes and manuals into the trash because they didn't want to store them.

it is how I got free, complete boxes/manuals for secret of mana and chrono trigger.

i doubt they are seriously going to do this, the market is pretty niche, margins are not good and there is too much competition online. retro shoppers arent going to buy edge cards or whatever garbage and pay extra for warranties. no opportunity for them to earn extra from "attachments"

I think 3d is good for simulators, but not video games. Banjo Kazooie is a good easter egg hunting simulator, and Ghost Recon is a good soldier simulator. I don't consider them video games though. 3d is god for recreating a real-life experience, but not so good at challenging the player, which is what video games should be about.

My feeling is that most gamers who are into retro gaming and collection also are the type of gamers who HATE Gamestop and understand that Gamestop is bad for gamers. I think even if they had a great retro selection, their prices would be outrageous and the animosity that they've accumulated would lead real retro geeks to emulate before they'd set foot in the place.

Thank you! We're a dying breed. It's been proven that testosterone in men have been in decline every year since the late 80's. But that's not the case for me, because I exercise daily and take zinc supplements to keep my estrogen low, which boosts my testosterone. I think like men used to think. Now, sadly, they think like little boys.

>When that era becomes collectible, they'll make bank.
They won't if they have a lot. Collector's items only cost much when there's scarcity, artificial or otherwise. And of coruse it can't be a part of GameStop's business model to haggle on old games.

More like how any rational adult would laugh at some idiot saying they're going to beat up anyone that treats them like a kid.

One, the guy sounds insecure and retarded.

Two, it's a great way to get stabbed or shot. Seriously, following someone home to "kick their ass?" The guy can kill you in self defense and get off with no consequences.

Same where my parents live. Two in the same mall within shouting distance, one in a plaza directly across the street from that mall, and two more about a quarter mile away that are across the street. There's more around there, but I'm not familiar with all of the area.

GameStop is like how Starbucks used to be.

this is going to be very bad for the community as a whole.

The entire retro gaming scene will get more casualized. People with no knowledge of game history will come start coming hear and saying a whole bunch of bullshit (I've talked to a 'retro-gamer kid' who beleived fall-out 1&2 are the foundation for crpg).

You will get more people flooding the board complaining about difficulty (why can't I change direction in mid-air? do they expect me to actually plan my jumps?)

Obscure games will be talked about less and less as all the new kids will make countless threads about final fantasy, mega man, and nintendo
