What's a gamestop?? you crazy Americans :P
Anyhoo, down under at my local Gamesmen, Game or EB, most of the people working there have 2 consoles, and the only reason they don't have the 3rd is due to lack of money. I generally eavesdrop on them giving advice and I haven't really heard any fanboyism.
Australians might pay a lot for our games, but we get damn good service
