No, Taken King was $40 in store and on my Xbox. Add in shipping costs versus having it right now is a factor as well. I don't see why it's a problem that a lot of people want physical copies. I hate buying games digitally because I want a physical copy and I want to have the option of used or new, and the ability to re-sell it at a later time. It's just a fact that GameStop will not go out of business easily, they'll just adapt- like I said there's always money to be made. [spoiler]wow 20 and already this quick to throw away the physical consoles and games of toe childhood. Who hurt you?[/spoiler]

I'm talking about all these older games you mentioned.

Yes, add in the shipping costs versus having it right now. And when buying online you never know what you're getting. And when buying older games and consoles you generally want to inspect them first. My local "retro gaming" store (I guess that's what it's called) had Luigis Mansion for GameCube for like $15, whereas on eBay the cheapest I could find a decent copy was like $45. GameStop could easily do it, but until they have the need to they won't.

Youve never heard of Amazon have you? Free 2 day shipping. Guaranteed to get what you buy. Youve also never heard of an emulator either have you? Any game ever made, for free.

Yes I'm well aware of both of those lol ever hear of nostalgia? Ever think that maybe some people actually want the console and game in their hands? A lot, and I mean a LOT, of people don't want everything on one little device. They want to see their consoles and games, they want to see what they're buying. What are you, 16? 17 maybe? Because if you were out of high school you'd understand what I'm trying to convey to you.

You can get a Nintendo 64 for 35 dollars on Amazon. Everything you're saying about it being expensive to buy shit online is a blatant lie.

I said for Luigis Mansion, it's different for everything- obviously. Yeah that's about what it is at my local gaming store, there's an average price for literally everything. But I'd have it today, could pick the exact one I want, see it before buying and wouldn't have to pay for shipping. Plus if GameStop were to do that [u]and[/u] offer their membership rewards, people would certainly go there to buy retro gaming things versus online. I bought a copy of Spyro once from eBay and it was "promised" to work yet it didn't. Had to go through the process of contacting the seller and filing a report, getting my refund then re-buying another copy which overall it took weeks to get a working copy- or I could've gone to GameStop (if they currently sold this stuff) and bought it, earned some points and gotten a discount for being a Pro member. Chill bro, not all of us want to buy an iPad just to play our old video games, some of us actually want a system. No, a lot of us do. And a lot of us want to see what we're buying and walk out the store with it then. Don't see why you're trying to defend/argue/push 100% digital so badly when the truth is it's just never as good as the original. Or maybe you just hate GameStop for some reason I don't know I don't even know why I'm still commenting here, Walking Dead commercial breaks are too long I guess lmao

I don't know what you do for a living. But I'm currently studying computer science. Which is all about taking complex things and building something that does it for you. Why would I want to leave my house, drive 5+ miles to my local GameStop (When they may not even have what I want) When I could find it online with a simple Google search and have it in my living room the next day or the day after? It's all about laziness.
