Just heard from one of the few survivors still at my old retail haunt that the entire company is going to be liquidating soon. That could mean sick deals for anyone that still has a GameCrazy near them.

Wouldn't surprise me

I raped the corpse of the last GC that went out of business. I think I spent about $80 and basically filled my trunk with games. Fuck, I'm not going to play 90% of that shit either

Vizzys · « **Reply #2 on:** April 30, 2010, 05:14:13 PM »

yeah my store nearby closed and theres another like 40 miles away

i have like 33$ in credit and they sent me a gift card that can only be used at their stores, not hollywood video retail stores (some which also have games)

It might be worth the drive, Viz. I plan on raping the hell out of the Frederick one.

Yea the one near me closed last month. Best deal I got was Assassin's Creed LE brand new for $20.

Vizzys · « **Reply #5 on:** April 30, 2010, 05:17:03 PM »

iam, i have an excuse to go on may 4th

the guys at my local store closed a week before they said they would which is why i got stuck with the credit

Vizzys · « **Reply #6 on:** April 30, 2010, 05:20:32 PM »

yeah i just called (since this thread reminded me) and that other store is closing in two months, they are deffo going out of business

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #7 on:** April 30, 2010, 05:25:41 PM »

Yeah, my buddy just texted me asking what I want from the sale.

Funny story from the other side: my friend who is a DM at GameStop said that about a year ago, the store manager from the nearby GameCrazy walked into one of his flagship stores and yelled at the staff that he was going to put them out of business.

12 months later: Same guy shows up at the GameStop store on Tuesday to pick up SSIV... paid for by his mother.

there's only like 2 gamecrazys around this area, there used to be at least 8 of them last year

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #11 on:** April 30, 2010, 05:34:31 PM »

The closest Game Crazy to where I live is 130 miles. I can't believe they don't have even ONE in the DFW area.

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #12 on:** April 30, 2010, 05:58:58 PM »

Do they have any good stores left around San Gabriel Valley?

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #13 on:** April 30, 2010, 06:47:57 PM »

There's only one GameCrazy left in Seattle, and it's in the ghetto known as White Center/Delridge.

Purple Filth · « **Reply #14 on:** April 30, 2010, 07:18:57 PM »

First Hollywood Video now Gamecrazy, what have you done Willco.

Seriously though it sucks to hear they going out plus it sucks for me cuz i can't take advantage.

Raban · « **Reply #17 on:** April 30, 2010, 10:53:36 PM »

I tried buying a bunch of new games today at Gamestop and the clerk gave me an incredible amount of shit for buying new. Jesus Christ mang. Maybe if Gamecrazy had been huge dicks about pushing used they might have survived
