I remember the time when you could go into a gaming store and find all sorts of games. The new releases, the retro, the mainstream, the niche...but not nowadays. These days, if you were to go into your local branch of GAME, you'll be lucky to find anything other than the new releases. Games from the previous generation? No. Some smaller releases, like the one above? You're out of luck there. The only thing you'll find really nowadays are the big releases (if even then...). 

But the issue with that is, you could get all of these from other retailers, like Tesco, or Asda, but with one key difference- the price is usually lower. So where's the point of going to GAME, if the game you're trying to get can be found in your local supermarket, for a lower price, and is more likely to be there when GAME may not even be stocking the game in the first place? 

Are you kidding me? Whenever I've been to the 'gaming' section in my local Tesco Extra, the choice is absolutely patheic. With exception of a few consistant high sellers (eg Mario Kart) Tesco have a Top 15 Chart, new releases and then what accounts to a Bargain Bin (ie what was in the charts not too long ago and what we now need to get shut of). In terms of choice and variety, Tesco is a big step backwards.
