We hate GameStop.But, there's no getting around the need for such a place. With other retail chains only stocking mainstream titles, gamers need a place to go where they can have a wider selection of all things they need for their favorite hobby. It doesn't mean the employees there have to ask you 18 different times before you leave the store if you want to pre-order something, though.
Our own personal dislikes aside, the company is doing things right, as Pokemon Diamond & Pearl (along with other high-profile titles) were responsible for almost a 586 percent growth in revenue during the second quarter of this year. If we were to actually think about how much real monies that translates into, we'd probably have to find the tallest building near us and jump off.
Would you like to put $5 down on something and reserve it? Would you like to now?
Would you like to now?
[Thanks, Lucious!]

A Gamestop employee once told me that if I did not reserve a copy of Donkey Konga that I would never be able to get it. Ever.
