Gamestop is going to stop taking in GBC/GBA games in April.

I remember when they did this with the N64 in 2006, but that was just a little bin.

The Gamestop I go to has a huge built in display case made specifically for Gameboy games.

Well, I guess there's always Play N Trade/Slacker's.... :(

My Gamestop sells Gameboy Colors for $5, but I prefer the smaller stores like the ones I mentioned.

PS2 games I guess....

Game and Watch Gallery will not be the last GB game I buy.

I'm going to buy some tomorrow.

Behind the Used games, there's a secret passage way in most Gamestops.

Normally it's Hentai, unless it's an older Gamestop/EB Games, then which it will be an empty room with a strange mirror.

I just found out they aren't taking away GBA games, but still.

They need space for new games I guess...

This will not go well in like 2 years when they stop selling PS2s...

Literally half the store I go to is a huge PS2 game rack that takes up an entire wall.

And same here, by Gamestop has tons of PS2 games. But I don't have one so that doesn't affect me.

Well when they stopped taking in N64 games, they stopped selling them even though they had some.

Someone is going to die.
Why the hell would they do that if the wii is backwards compatible?

There are lots of stores that specialize in retro games around me, so I'm not worrying.

But let me just say:

MAYBE IF THEY DIDN'T USE HALF OF THE FREAKIN' STORE FOR THE PS2 THEY WOULD HAVE ROOM FOR OLD GAMES  :|

Wait...
Gamecube is different.
Its basically the same as PS2 games in the fact that its last Gen.

Why so soon?
Makes no sense.
