    I don't know if it'd be worth it, to deal with Best Buy upselling me a 50 dollar usb cable for half an hour just to get it there.

    I was all ready to make a smart remark along the lines of "Big fucking whoop, I don't see how a place could conceivably have higher prices than gamestop on used games anyway." But then it turned out to be on new games and that's actually pretty rad. I hope it works out.

    Well, here's hoping that it proves successful so it goes nationwide. I hate going into Gamestop, so much.

    Meh, having worked for the big blue menace in the past, it's really as simple as grabbing the game you want, going over to customer service, and telling them to price match gamestop's used game price. Normally they have to call to confirm a price for price matching, but with game libraries as massive as GS and BB have, it'll be interesting to see if they stick to that practice.
