    I’m a Video Game collector and for the most part I do agree with you BUT Gamestop Is the best place to Grab Last Generation Games, they just want to get rid of them. Best time to grab a bulk of games is when they have Deals. Unfortunately this is only great for the last few years of the console’s life because by that time, Trash/filler games will only be traded.

    Boogie, this kind of video format is really good, we’re at a point in time now where everything is suddenly changing really quickly, the days of midnight releases and going to the game stores with your friends are well and truly over, it’s exactly like Blockbuster - we didn’t realise what we had until it went! So it’s such a good idea to document it as if it’s gone, even though they are still, just about here. Don’t think anyone else is doing this - please do more!

    We have Vintage Stock here in Kansas City. I feel like in store vintage video games have dried up since the pandemic as it seems like retro gaming exploded.

    I remember back in the day, there was a GameStop around the corner from where I lived. I would sometimes just go in to hangout and the workers knew me by name and we would talk about video games, music, and other stuff, they would even let me buy rated M games when I was 14 😂. When they were closing, I remember I needed a new charger for my 3ds and they just let me have the charger and a few games for free because the manager was bummed he probably wasn’t going to see me again and wanted to give me going away gift, the manager was a really cool dude.

    Its hard for me to say just how much I have personally benefited from PC Gaming. I don't play games, well, almost never. But I do run the kinds of programs that benefit from a fast graphics card and high quality 3D acceleration; programs like Adobe Photoshop, Aftereffects, Premier, Davinci Resolve, Corel Draw, Blender and Maya. Graphics cards wouldn't be 1/10 of what they are without gaming driving the development of real-time rendering. Or... they probably would exist. But would be several times more expensive. The reason we have the capabilities at the price point we have is because of the demands of gaming PCs. THAT was the driving force behind the market.

    Dude!! If you’re ever up in Canada, find yourself a Microplay before they go extinct! My favourite one in Ottawa closed down just before pandemic, but I owe the manager from there a big high-five! Went in there one day and basically asked “what’s good?!” I’d been a customer there many times before, so the dude knew what I liked… long story short, I came out with Binding of Isaac (never heard of it before that day) and it’s now one of my most played games on the Switch! Microplay seems to sadly be going the way of blockbuster, but if you find yourself in Ottawa, we’ve still got one and the dude there is just as awesome! Last I was there they had a bucket of $3 used 3DS games on the counter. Got myself Lego movie and Lego pirates of the Caribbean lol

    I went into gamestop last in fall 2021, not for a game, but because they had a Kit Fisto lightsaber that I wanted, and I prefer to buy things from stores rather than online. I learned my lesson in my early teens not to trust Gamestop for games, you could get a new gamegame sealed in box and it wouldn't work, but if you returned it you couldn't get your money back or a trade in for one that worked.

    I'm not sure I'd trust a Retron 5 to actually play my carts given the questionable build quality of the cart slots, I'd worry plugging and unplugging them all the time might wear them more unevenly than a licensed console, but they're pretty good for dumping your carts on to your PC. All you need is some custom firmware put on an SD card and a usb-mini B to usb-A cable.

    My local Gamestop is still up and running. GameStop has a long way to go before it goes out of business. There will always be a market for physical games, accessories, and memorabilia.
