I meant to post this yesterday, but got home today to find the quick reply box sitting wide open with this still sitting in it:

 

GameStop

New Orleans, Louisiana

I go into work today, and I'm looking around. We've completely sold out of the Last Remnant, and LBP sales seem to have picked up a bit (though that was expected, now that it's post-Black Friday). By boss claimed to have personally sold "3-4" copies of the game yesterday, and I sold one myself today. We now only have one copy left, and it looks like we sold as many over the past two days as we had pre-ordered originally.

We've thus far sold ONE copy of Wii Music since release. We've also had one traded in, though I'm not sure if it's the same one.

I also sold one copy of Fable II, and I'm sure both it and Gears 2 are selling at a steady quip.

Somebody traded in a copy of the Resistance 2 special edition. Who spends an extra $20 on a game just to trade it in? Every time I see a used copy of an LE I just shake my head.

Your LBP comment seems to resonate with ioi's comment that LBP sales 'picked up'.  This can only mean good things for sackboy!
