Nice, a "stop Thief" flashback. I seem to remember that being fun. Dark tower was another great electonic/board game back in the day. Wasted a lot of my youth with Milton Bradley, Coleco, and Mattel.

I bought both an Xbox and a PSP at a Blockbuster in my city (Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada). Pretty much every location is capable of selling them and sometimes have a few in stock, but we have some Blockbusters that are called 'Game Rush' locations and they are fully stocked.

@Zertoss the Blockbuster in my town in the centre of nowhere sells consoles. He would have had better luck there. They have a huge pile of PS3s to take away.

Still no Wiis tho.

Blockbuster do sell consoles and games in the UK. They acquired retain chain Gamestation (or was it CEX?) back in the day and set up a sort of in-store games annex. Those eventually merged into the stores proper.

I wonder what he is going to do when it bricks, hahaha

I'm betting he would've gotten multiple copies of 300.

It's Gamestation (recently bought by 'Game') that operates out of BlockBuster.

It seems like Joystiq staff don't read Joystiq :p

Kidding.

Blockbuster doesn't sell consoles. They didn't carry the PS3.

No one has said it yet so I guess I will:

Guess he made out, then, by getting the 360 instead.
