GameStop definitely has a wider selection (in my area, anyhow.), but Game Crazy has better value, imo.

GC will eventually get what GS has, so GC > GS, to me.

Smile
I prefer GameTraders. They import games for me :3
I vote Walmart
i hate them all.
I vote FutureShop, because their the best, at least the store in my city. But I don't have a Game Crozy Or Game Stop, but I do have EB GAMES.
Gamecrazy, hands down. Far better trade-in prices.
never seen a game crazy around here...
so yeah

Same, so it's not really a fair vote.

Game Crazy > Gamestop.
-better values
-and b/c they work with Hollywood Video, you can get free rentals when you buy new systems, and reserve games.
I would probably like Gamestop more..they get there demo's out quick times.
in my area we have 1 game crazy and 2 gamestops (FYI EB Games is owned by GameStop). i prefer Game Crazy because better trade in prices, you can demo games b4 you buy em and they hold tournaments.
that and i've had a few problems with game stop employees
Gamestops here in Nintendoland are bad. The people are rude, don't help you, and the prices are high and the trades are low. I have gone to both gamestop and gamecrazy in the same day more than once to compare prices vs tradeins on my games. Both times it's been significantly better at GameCrazy and their staff are always in a good mood.

Gamestop lost me when I had gone to one about 40 minutes from my house one day and bought three games. Got home and the jackasses did NOT put my games in 2 of the boxes (I had saw them grab the discs from the things from behind the counter, and put one in, and at that point I had my attention diverted). When I called the manager to tell him what happened, he said "oh". I asked him if he could get them sent to the one out by my house for me, so I wouldn't have to drive all the way back over there, and he wouldn't help me. Another instance too, I forgot about, was when I bought a "new" game from them that was the display box, the game in it was NOT new. It had an f'ing file on it already! That was not cool.

I also get my discs resurfaced at GameCrazy, 5 for 4.99. Sometimes I get them for free! I buy a lot of used dvds/games/etc from my pawnshop so if I get a killer deal on a box set or a rare dvd, I will take it in for its resurfacing. The night of the wii release, they let us hang out inside the hollywood video side of the store, and offered us drinks and popcorn, and their restrooms while we waited in line. They had 250 wii's that night and nintendo and the news were there as well (since it's just down the street from them anwyays LOL)

Even at 4 in the morning when I got to the counter finally (number 125 out of 210)the staff were still nice and all had great humor.....and were helpful with people on deciding what games to start with (other than zelda). We had every game to choose from and accessory(except red steel only the reserves were in that night) Was quite a nice night really. I didn't have to freeze and had what I needed within a reasonable distance. They still had about 40 Wii's the next morning and only a few games left. LOL What a night!
i dont like going to game stop or game crazy...i usually by my stuff at toys r us cause i get a sweet discount there Smile
game crazy. i rarely buy my games locally, but the few times that i have stopped there, their customer service is by far better than gamestop/ebgames.
seing as how theres none of those in canada, ill have to say Wal-mart.

and even if they were in canada id still probly say walmart because walmart is usually cheaper and get more of a shipment.
