Good.

It will expose older games and hardware to a wider audience and help keep older stuff in circulation. Amazon and whatnot are always going to offer better deals, but tend to target buyers with an specific agenda. Seeing as how actual game developers and publishers have mostly done a poor job of preserving their past works, GameStop's actions are welcome. Especially considering their sheer number of locations.

My Dream Scenario: Somebody walks into GameStop wondering if they really want to spend around $100 on a brand new AAA game, the online store debit card for DLC, and maybe an extra controller for her friend so they can play coop. Noticing the PS2 section, he decides to mix things up and get a PS2 instead. Using Amazon as a rough guide, they spend $50 for the PS2 itself and spend another $50 for Resident Evil 4, Gran Turismo 3, Jak & Daxter, Metal Gear Solid 3, Soul Calibur 2, GTA3, and Final Fantasy X. They then go on to learn more about the past of their favorite series while enjoying some great games.
