200 Game Crazy retail locations closing next month
It was recently made known that 200 of Game Crazy’s 680 retail locations will be shutting their doors for good by the end of next month. This apparantly isn’t a sign of Game Crazy going under but instead a wise business decision by the company’s executives to weed out the under performing stores
Below is their official statement regarding the matter:
“Movie Gallery, Inc. is currently operating in an unprecedented consumer/retail environment. In order for us to continue to best serve our millions of customers across North America we’re addressing under performing stores and ensuring that there is sufficient [return on investment] associated with each of these stores going forward. The vast majority of our stores will be unaffected by these efforts.”

Game Crazy iPhone app hits App Store
Game Crazy has just released a previously unannounced app to the App Store for use with both the iPhone and iPod Touch.
According to the app’s description users will be able to see when new titles are set to come out along with viewing high-resolution trailers of said new titles. Additionally, users will be able to find out how much used game trade-ins will be worth so they can see if its worth it before they get to the store.
This app is definitly a welcome addition to the App Store and is sure to garner some internet. Unfortunately I don’t have any Game Crazys around me but does anyone want to make a bet on how long until Game Stop releases an identical app?
