I am disgusted that jawa has not included every single possible sales option from the past forty years and so I am forced to type an additional outlet in the comments

Used to love going to Toys R Us for Mega Drive games when I was little. Then Electronics Boutique for Playstation and Dreamcast. Gameplay had that thing where you could pay at the post office which I used a few times around the Gamecube era (I think). I can't remember the last time I bought a new game from a shop.

GRcade, ex-rental, Ninja Game Den (RIP)
