This is really bad news =/ I hope they don't close any around me. I really like this store as they seem to me give more for used games and a better deal for used games when buying. They also have some stuff, such as older games, that Gamestop/eb games don't accept anymore.

That sucks that they are planning on closing ~36% of their stores, assuming they close 200 and not more.
It also means that those that work there will be out of a job which isn't good, especially with the economy just starting to show positive recovery signs.
I'm hoping that if they have to close the one by my place that the local Play n' Trade can pick up at least some of their business. The prices and selection (when it comes to older stuff) is pretty decent at my local GameCrazy, so I would hate to see them go.

Me neither, it's one of my favorite places to buy games. =(

You're telling me. I have a cousin who works at one of the Game Crazy that is about to be closed. Guess where he worked before that? Managing a Circuit City. Terrible haha

It is very bad news as they were a great company to work for. I have been the store manager for over 3 years, and my last day was October 7, 2009. I recieved the news we were closing, and we had everything removed with in 24 hours. Customers are gonna miss, us as always we provided a cleaner, organized, and of course the best customer service for a video rental business. It isnt just game crazy's being cut, it is several of the video side of it as well. Best wishes Movie Gallery.
