Then basically there's no point in this shop existing anymore. They're basically toy stores now.

I occasionally look in Game but can't remember the last time I actually bought anything. It would've been a pre-owned title anyway.

Is Electronics Boutique still going? ๐Ÿ˜

EB is now GameStop - in the US. They are going. Not sure where, but they are going.

I miss Babbage's...

I was being a bit tongue in cheek. GAME took over EB in the UK. I don't think they're any dedicated gaming shops anymore, just independents.
