Tiny Diggers – An iPad Construction Truck Game for Kids Age 2-5

I stopped into Gamestop today to return my overpriced copy of Professor Layton and noticed a sign on the front counter that said they would no longer be accepting used Game Boy and Game Boy Color games in early April. These games are no longer in production, which means when the games they have in stores are gone, that’s it.

This is not a big deal for someone like me, because I know Gamestop’s prices for used games are far too high, especially with resources like half.com and eBay at our disposal. This is notable for those who prefer to buy their used games where they can see them and test them first-hand though. There’s something to be said for that, of course, and this is Gamestop closing the tap on the 8-bit wonder in a sense.

Game Boy Advance games are not impacted by this change, and according to the woman I spoke to at the store, there are no plans to reduce prices on the games in stock in order to clear them out.
