In spite of it all, GameStop has persevered and still gets after it for the Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals period. The GameStop near my house closed down in 2021 and I've really missed it.
There's something to be said about getting to know your local GameStop staff and talking games with them for a while. I've also been seeing some locations are doing midnight launches again, and my friends, everyone should wait in line to buy a hot new game the second it goes live.
You will be among your people, an unbroken queue of like-minded individuals looking to share in the communal experience of celebrating gaming.
I feel like gaming culture was better when we all stood together and talked to one another about how stoked we were for Halo 3.
GameStop has some solid Black Friday video game deals, and if you don't mind buying used, you can actually save a bunch more.
