There were a lot more brick and mortar stores back then. We used to have 3 gamestops in the same mall plaza. So you could call and have them hold it for you or rush to the store before they sold it.

    I didnt realize there was such a rush on PS2s.

    I just walked into K-Mart (Sigh.. I miss K-Mart..) and bought one on release day without issue, Maybe no one thought K-Mart would have them and thats why..

    Kmart was actually a hidden gem when it came to stuff like this. If a popular game was sold out everywhere, there was a good chance Kmart still had it.

    K-Mart was fuckin fantastic. so much better than walmart. They always had great stuff, and at good prices too... and they waited until after thanksgiving to put up and out the christmas displays.
