{ Oct 1st 2009 at 5:15PM } 
- Go to the Game Crazy store locator. Find the store you know (not think) is closing.
- Copy the store's address as listed. (example: 7841 MALL RD, FLORENCE, KY 41042)
- Send it to our tips line with the subject "Game Crazy list" (using hyperlink will autofill).
Update: Significant updates since this morning. Added information about Modern Warfare 2 prestige pre-orders, general pre-orders and trade credits.
[Thank you to everyone contributing to this story!]
Received from several sources:
--Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Prestige Edition Pre-Orders
Starting Wednesday, September 30th the merchandising department will be reactivating the Call of Duty-Prestige Edition for pre-orders in all non-liquidation game Crazy stores. This title has been reactivated to take care of the current Game Crazy pre-order customers that were displaced by the closing of the store that they had their pre-order in. This title will be available to pre-order at Game Crazy and Hollywood Video stores until Sunday, October 11th.
--Game Pre-Orders at Hollywood Video
Starting Wednesday, September 30th customers can pre-order games at Hollywood Video as long as their pre-order deposit is PAID IN FULL.
--Deposits, Trade Credits at Closing Game Crazy store
Our Call Center will be sending out automated calls to all customers at each closing Game Crazy store that have deposits or trade credits on their account. The deposit amounts include general cash deposits, pre-order deposits, and special order deposits. Tech support is not able to automatically transfer trade credit or deposits from one store to another.
The customer must come into the store in order to get their store credit or deposit placed onto a gift card. We msut round up the trade credit and/or deposit amount to the next highest dollar amount. If the customer has $7.01 on their account, we must round this amount up to $8.00 and place that on their gift card. Once the customer has this gift card, they can utilize it at any Game Crazy or Hollywood Video store of their choosing.
Customers that are unable to go direct to a store in order to transfer their balance onto a gift card may call our Call Center at 1-877-244-6684 in order to have their trade credit or cash deposit transferred to a sister Game Crazy store. The Call Center will be supporting customers 7 days a week, 8 am to 8 pm PT.

"2630 WINDMILL PKY, HENDERSON, NV 89074"
This breaks my little gamer heart. I used to ride my bike to that gamecrazy in the days of old, purchased and traded tons of stuff there back in the day.
(They even let me trade in my modded gamecube)
I'm far far away now or I'd go visit out of nostalgia.
LunarAura @ Oct 1st 2009 6:59AM
I'm a vulture circling the carcasses of retailers for bargains. *sqwaw*
SolidSnakeX @ Oct 4th 2009 6:51PM
Why is it always my state that's affected by this garbage?..Game Crazy you suck ass!
Ian @ Oct 1st 2009 7:04AM
How are the closing stores indicated on the Game Crazy store locator screen?
Bill @ Oct 1st 2009 7:38AM
It looks like if a store near you isn't listed then that's one that's going to close. Doesn't help if you don't know where all the Game Crazy's near you are unless you also check where the nearest Hollywood Video is as well.
whylekat @ Oct 1st 2009 8:46AM
No they ment if you already know of a store that's closing.. Like you drove by and there's a big "We're Closing" sign in the window... Use the Store Locator to get it's exact address and copy/paste it to their tip line.
MakoXL @ Oct 1st 2009 7:08AM
And the list of lives ruined by PSP GO continues to grow ...............
Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Oct 1st 2009 7:14AM
considering the Go JUST Came out today...(and I doubt outside of Walmart anyone sold any at midnite, in the US)
I don't see how you can blame that on this...especially considering this is obviously months in the making..
Duke @ Oct 1st 2009 11:12AM
WTF are you taking about Mako?
MakoXL @ Oct 1st 2009 11:19AM
its just a joke.

:(
There's a GameCrazy I usually buy games from.
:)
50% off everything.
Premature ejaculation man @ Oct 1st 2009 7:32AM
You should buy as much as you can...
Then to eBay!!!
The Dark Wayne [Planeteer: Power of the Batusi] @ Oct 1st 2009 8:48AM
or sell them at gamestop if you're a wretched, heartless monster
Deezul @ Oct 1st 2009 8:53AM
Trade them in with Best Buy or Amazon as well. You can go into Gamestop with trade in prices for other stores, and go with whoever has the better deal.
XBL: xGeneral DEATHx PSN: Deeth82 [Planeteer | Power of General Hostility and Angst] @ Oct 1st 2009 9:05AM
Just know that hunting down wretched, heartless monsters is a hobby of the Dark Wayne.

It's all about Goozex ya fools!
shouryuuken @ Oct 1st 2009 8:33PM
well considering theyre sending all their valuable stuff to other locations.. i think youre not going to get 50% off of ANYTHING.
Ian @ Oct 1st 2009 8:12AM
If it isn't listed, then the instructions to copy and paste the address do not make much sense.
Travis @ Oct 1st 2009 8:34AM
Oh, I see mine.
I never go anyway, its a bit far away and if I'm going to go that far I might as well go a bit farther and go to play N trade. But I'll jump on the sales at mine. hopefully not many other people do so I can grab some stuff on the cheap
dark_inchworm (stronger than never, ever before) @ Oct 1st 2009 9:17AM
I know the Brentwood/Franklin, TN shopping areas pretty well, and even I have no damn clue where that Brentwood location is. Maybe that explains why it's shutting down?
I'll be checking this out...
Taylor @ Oct 1st 2009 9:30AM
The one in Hendersonville is right down the street from me. I was slightly excited at first that I would be getting good deals, but now, not so much. I will miss going in there and I especially enjoyed going there the day after Thanksgiving. :( It will be missed.
Duke @ Oct 1st 2009 11:13AM
I know the one in Bolingbrook, Illinois closed last week. It's not listed in their store locator.
Charades @ Oct 1st 2009 9:19AM
I think there is one in Deland, Florida and isn't showing up on their site.
Doreo (Psn-doreo503) @ Oct 1st 2009 9:29AM
They're only listing one store in Nj, I believe that is wrong.
butaneko @ Oct 1st 2009 9:42AM
Oh Garfield NJ store, why didn't I visit you at least once!! I drive past you every day on the way to work. Surely I could have gone in at least once and checked the used game selection? Maybe I could have saved you...
Wait what? You're not on the list of closing stores?
Eh.. maybe I'll stop by next week. Or not.
Doreo (Psn-doreo503) @ Oct 1st 2009 9:48AM
I think that store is closing since the only listed store on the game crazy website is the one in Old Bridge.
butaneko @ Oct 1st 2009 9:57AM
Nah bro I think it only shows you stores in a certain radius of what you searched by. I searched Garfield and it came up along with Union City.
chris webster @ Oct 1st 2009 10:14AM
I interviewed for a store manager position at the one in Rockford, IL. They called back for a second interview but I had gotten a job somewhere else by that time, thank god.
GrimParrot @ Oct 1st 2009 1:03PM
You got lucky. The DM there, Diane, is the biggest tool ever to roam the retail landscape. You would have spent most of your time with your nose up her rear or not lasted long anyhow.
ScottG13 @ Oct 1st 2009 10:21AM
Crap. The Florence location is mine.
WREturns (Looking for a graphic designer) @ Oct 1st 2009 10:34AM
I ran the Orem, UT store for a while but, alas, my DM was a prick and I soon absconded to Rhino Video Games which closed 4 months later and ended my trend of gaming retail employment.
Justin N. @ Oct 1st 2009 11:03AM
I feel your pain, brother. My DM fired me before store closing because I refused to sell pre-orders and told customers to use up their credits. I loved my job there, and would do it again in a heartbeat if I got paid properly for it.
dark_inchworm (stronger than never, ever before) @ Oct 1st 2009 11:40AM
I miss the Rhino branding, for some reason. Odd, since they didn't really seem drastically different from Game Crazy or Gamestop in the few visits I made.
aristokrat @ Oct 1st 2009 10:35AM
I didn't even know I had any near me hear in central Virginia. Maybe I'll have to venture out for a deal.
Konrad @ Oct 1st 2009 10:43AM
Anyone know if there are any closing in CT?
deaftly (PSN,LIVE,STEAM) @ Oct 1st 2009 11:10AM
[WHOOPS! This is my warning.]
dark_inchworm (stronger than never, ever before) @ Oct 1st 2009 11:20AM
I'm kinda curious what happened here... but I'm also still curious how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop.
The world may never know.
WREturns (Looking for a graphic designer) @ Oct 1st 2009 11:35AM
What did you do, deaftly?

Does anyone know if the Frisco, TX store is staying open or not?
shouryuuken @ Oct 1st 2009 8:36PM
theyre gone.
jordanbrown @ Oct 1st 2009 11:51AM
The location in Clovis was consistently one of the worst stores in our district and the company a few years back. It has been doing better, but was in a not so good shopping center. Not surprised to see it on the list. The one in Hanford, CA I used to work for just renewed their building lease with Hollywood, so they should be around atleast a few years and likely more.
MFfan310 @ Oct 1st 2009 11:57AM
The Fort Wayne store closings don't shock me at the very least. In these cases, Kroger (yes, the supermarket) is taking over the rest of both of those building that they don't occupy to expand and renovate their stores (the Dupont Road store is expanding into a "Kroger Marketplace"), and adjacent stores moved out eons ago in preparation for the new, bigger Kroger.
Oh well.. at least I know where I can score some cheap Wii games.

I called the adjoining Hollywood video after a few calls to this game crazy. The hours changed to a noon open. May check it out sometime.
PostVoid @ Oct 1st 2009 12:21PM
They're pulling everything this week to be sent out (redistributed) by Friday. Next week whatever's left, which isn't much because I've seen the list of what's going, will be 80% off (except hardware). Before you get excited, get everything new or rare out of your mind first, because it's being redistributed.
shouryuuken @ Oct 1st 2009 8:38PM
yeah, sucks because that means nasty amounts of shipments for us in the coming weeks.. ugh.
marauder30 (psn: darthmilasmentor, xbl: huskerblackshrt) @ Oct 1st 2009 12:28PM
Damn... Looks like they're closing every single store in Colorado Springs, but no others in the state.
Seriously, what the hell did I (and the employees, I'm sure) do to deserve this!?
