GameStop exists in a weird limbo that makes it somewhat useless. It's not quite a secondhand game store, as demonstrated by its feverish attempts to unload GCN, Xbox, and now PS2 titles. And it's not quite a new game store, since so many of its games have been repackaged or plastered with stickers. Plus the games are less costly elsewhere.

I'm kind of surprised it's still operating at all. Web sites like Amazon and brick-and-mortar stores like GameXChange do what GameStop purports to do, but do it for real. And do it better.
