Title: Game Crazy spinoff
Post by: Izret101 on September 26, 2004, 08:59:48 AM
Hollywood Video has Game Crazy and now Blockbuster has Game Rush.
Game Rush is currently in these states California, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky Michigan, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas.
I am going to guess these are to test the market after seeing Hollywood Videos succes with their Game Crazy idea.
There are 8 in Cinci...thats more Blockbusters than there are in Springfield and Chicopee Mass.
If anyone goes to one could you tell me about it? I want to see how it stacks up to the other stores.

IT SUCKS.  I HATE GAME RUSH.

1.) The prices are ridiculously high.
2.) Same as any other used game store - boxes go bye bye.
3.) Selection is crappy.
4.) Most classic consoles aren't even represented at all.
5.) Game Rush takes up about a third of the store, thus reducing Blockbuster's already puny video selection to half of what it initially was.  (The for sale videos don't get reduced in space, so the math does work out.)
6.) Blockbuster is Satan on Earth.

What systems are represented? Beside all the Next Gen.
I am guessing PS, N64, DC, SNES, Genesis, NES.
If i am missing any please inform me.
Well thanks for the info now i dont feel like im missing out on anything special, just more crap.

Game Rush is pretty worthless. But it was really cool when I scammed them.

I don't remember them having anything older than N64.

California, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky Michigan, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas.

That is too large to be a test market.  They are most likely in the process of nationwide deployment.  

Game rush has been here for at least more than 6 months.
