I miss the days in the late 80's going to my local games shop and spending hours looking over the walls full of games deciding which (usually budget) game to buy this week. I wonder if anybody has any copies of the videos that used to be running advertising the latest games.
I think the writing has been on the wall for a while even without supermarkets undercutting the games stores. Downloads are going to be the main method of distribution and Game/Gamestation (and HMV) really can't compete.
