Same here. The only time I go shopping in the game stores is when I'm on
holiday and I go to the shopping centre for a jaunt, see what I can pick up.
There used to be 2 Game stores there when an EB was turned into a Game.
it was just a few yards down the corridor! Now there's just one Game but
a Gamestation down the corridor and round the corner.

Over the last 12 months I've done a fair amount of business at Gamestation.
It's often been a case of picking games up cheap elsewhere and then trading
them in with a CEX price match so I've done pretty well.

Yes, the games I've then bought have been overpriced but the total cost to
change has been very reasonable.

It's very easy to point out what they could be doing better, but I think
gaming as a whole would be worse off if/when they do disappear.
