It's a last resort for me too. GameStops just don't offer the variety of most local shops. I currently own 8 systems (NES, SNES, Genesis, N64, Dreamcast, Gamecube, GBA, Xbox) and GameStop only supplies games for two of them (discluding Xbox, since the titles are usually scarce and no longer in their original packaging, plus GameStop is trying to push them out entirely). But even those games (GC + GBA) are strategically priced cheaper at independent shops.
GameStop also looks so cold now (not like back in the FuncoLand days...R.I.P.), and the last few times I've been in there, they've had some bizarre, wretched sitcom blasting from at least 4 monitors on the surrounding walls. Whenever I go in, I rush out as quickly as possible. I can spend well over an hour browsing through the libraries of my favorite local shops though.
