It's a brilliant idea to me, they need some other angle after netflix and other such companies started taking away their monopoly.

I started buying games at GameCrazy (Hollywood Video's side store) just because it is more convenient--I can pick up a game without having to drive another 10 miles. In various small towns that I've seen, where as Lee said, they have no GameStops, this will work. But I think it would work better if they did the GameCrazy thing--dedicate part of the store/staff towards selling gamed. In Castro Valley we don’t have a GameStop here.
