@Tre: Gamestop still owns them, so I dunno how much better they'll be...
That said, Toronto is actually a pretty nice city. (Admittedly, to my great regret I haven't actually seen all that many other cities...)
Two were EB locations that I remember but I dunno if the other two were GameStop from the get go or not.
What's a good alternative to gamestop?
Amazon for one.
Gamestop pretty much has a monopoly on game selling in the King of Prussia Mall. there's not one, but two of them, one on each floor, and they're not far from each other.
My best advice outside of switching to online purchases(which I plan to do anyway) is find a local, independently owned seller.
eStarland?
Just found this by search Google Maps for "used game stores" near my current town.
Unfortunately, the kind of place I'm in is a recently-developed place, with lots of chain stores and few mom-and-pop shops.
What's Gamefly?
^Netflix-style rental service.
Isn't it entirely online/digital?
So basically they're charging for the convenience of access.
OnLive might be in trouble though. The Verge reported yesterday that they're filing for bankruptcy.
Oh, I didn't know they actually sent physical media. Never used them before.
^^That was a mistaken rumor; someone bought them and due to something resembling a game of telephone there were a bunch of rumors that they were closing or laying off all their employees and starting fresh or whatever.
So I've heard.
Oh, the tech industry, with its big-ass ballooning rumors. I kinda love that about it. :P
-wait, nevermind-
FUCK
I need to not underestimate the speed other Touhou fans can hand over money.
Now i'm probably going to check my email 5 times a day or more for 2 months or so in hopes of it restocking again, but I don't actually know the reason for it restocking so it may never happen again.
