Target pisses me off. There's one right next to where I work, so I tend to buy video games there whenever possible because it's convenient. Unfortunately, they're complete retards about what they carry. You want a budget title from a major game studio, like Sega's House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return? Too bad, they don't carry it. You want Okami, the best received title to come out for the Wii this year besides Brawl? Too bad, they don't carry it.

But they do carry just about every crappy kid's game and no-name budget title that comes out. To be fair, they also stock the obvious choices like Twilight Princess, Prime 3, and RE4, but those games have all been out FOREVER.

They have some people who know stuff about electronics at mine. The problem is, they're often out back unloading TVs or whatever. So someone from a nearby department like DVDs or HBC has to cover.

I think I went shopping for Brawl either the day after or 2 days after it came out, and Best Buy nor Game Stop had it at the mall. I was about to travel 10 minutes down the road to a KB toy store, when I thought it was worth looking in Target (also at said mall), and lo and behold, they had it.

Yeah, if you're looking for a first party Nintendo title, they'll have about a million copies of it when it comes out.

But I'm heading in there tomorrow looking for The World Ends With You for the DS and I bet they won't be carrying it.

I find myself ordering more and more games online. A lot of retailers have crappy selections, and I hate dealing with GameStop. Their store is a fucking closet and you don't know if they actually have the game you want until you ask the clerk. And before you can ask the clerk, you'll have to wait in line behind five people, at least one of whom is an adult buying a game for someone else and they probably don't even know the name of the fucking game.

"Uh yeah, do you have Forbidden Planet for the 360 Xbox?"
