Gamestop and EB

I really have no preference of choosing EB over Gamestop.
The only time I would choose one over the other is when there is a hot game out and one store is out of stock. A couple weekends ago I went out looking for the PS2 game entitled Katamari Damacy
It is a quirky game originating in Japan from Namco. To quote the manual" In a freak accident, the King of All Cosmos inadvertently annihilated all the stars. The task of fixing the King's mistake has fallen upon his son, the Prince. In order to restore the glorious starry sky, the Prince must roll around a heap of objects on Earth, gathering more and more things from the item-rich planet and sending them off into the night sky. Does the Prince have what it takes to succeed?" R-i-g-h-t…
So anyways, I looked around Gamestop and saw a large selection of games for all the current systems (GameCube, Playstation 2, Xbox, Nintendo DS, Sony PSP) The game I was looking for is only supposed to be $19.99 and that is exactly how much the game turned out to be, shocked as I was to only have to pay 19.99 for a game, I quickly whipped out my own pouch of cow-leather and handed over a crisp 20.
I left with game in hand and a grin that only a gamer could understand. I didn't have to go to EB this time around, gamestop had Katamari Damacy in stock. There really is no difference between the stores and their merchandise. Go to whichever one your itchy trigger finger finds first on the Mall map.
Pros: If one store is out of stock, one can go to the other.
Cons: None.
