No, your next pick-up should be Rayman Legends and Pikmin 3 damnit!!!

Anyways, I tried calling the Gamestop store today... basically I tried asking about whether they had specific games in stock, and they pretty much told me they can't tell me whether they have a certain game in stock, I have to go and check their "bin" of "400-500 titles".

Not sure what my next move should be... either way I'm not going today because of the miserable weather, so hopefully tomorrow looks promising.

Well, if it shows that it is in stock for the store on the website, just put in a hold for pick up request for the games you are looking for. Make them look for it and just wait for confirmation. I do it all the time especially with the older games that are in disc sleeves only.

Thats just a piss poor ran store, being a former gamestop manager their inventory should be 100% accurate. Now sure, games might have been stolen out of the bin but their inventory should show whether they are supposed to have it or not, you just found a lazy employee

It would appear the none of the 10 stores I checked last night had remotely accurate inventory on their website. Had an appt 30 miles from my house. Stopped at 6 GameStope stores on my way back and literally none of them even had GCN games at all. I think you guys are expecting a bit too much from GS.

On a funny side note, my GPS pronounced it "Gah-Mess-Stah".  I'm guessing it being spelled as one word threw it way off LOL!

I cannot find a GameBoy Player anywhere! And I have been looking.

Good pricing in the others though!

I did a hold request at a Gamestop near me for Super Mario Sunshine, AO007 made me want to pick it up ;D. I knew going in that it would most likely be a loose disc, but I figured with it being 75% off I might as well pick it up. So the girl pulled it out of the drawer and began to ring it up, but I noticed the disc was completely wrapped up in the paper work for the hold request, so I couldn't really see a disc. She began blabbering about how much she loved Mario and has all the games and what not, until I interrupted her by asking to check out the game disc first. She pulled the paper work out of the disc sleeve and dropped the disc on the floor (No real damage done), then picked it up and showed me. The disc was a previous rental disc and was slightly cracked on the inner disc ring but the rental sticker was hiding it pretty well and obviously went through a resurface job. So I didn't buy it, but I just had to laugh at the fact that they were still trying to sell it in that condition and for $24.99 before the 75% off deal. I didn't have my hopes up anyways though, it is Gamestop  ;D.

Actual pickups:

Grabbed some more garbage GCN games today just to get cases.  I can't let this one make it back to the wild, ever.  Sorry if this hurts anyone's feelings.

Your lucky to be able to grab the GC cases cheaply...my GS just dumped ALL the PS2 and GC cases about a month or so back. Anything with a decent case then was $10+ or had those god awful sports holograms on them.
