I'm surprised that GameStop, having sold consoles and controllers, didn't sell computer hardware initially.<br>Going into GameStop for RAM could be pretty cool. Some of it's around the same price of a AAA game.,(reply>), I can already pick up some components at my local GameStop. I had to get a mic because the new headset had crappy mic guess who had a decent mic?,(reply>), If Gamestop started selling hardware I would go there all the time. There are no micro centers within 100 miles of me. I hate shopping online for things I would much rather see in person.,(reply>), i used to manage a babbages/gamestop and they used to sell gpus in the past, the company began as a pc software store we sold gpus, soundcards and some other components, they also used to sell all kinds of software including  business  focused  software . so they have not "begun", they have "returned",(reply>), @EclipseGST94 you raise some pretty good points, I must admit, but I still think having continuous stock on hand at every game stop is a massive issue. There is a reason why computer hardware shops arent more popular.,(reply>), @Clell Biggs I went into a GameStop once under that illusion. I only really wanted a controller for my console port games, but also wanted to look at any other bits and pieces they had... but they informed me (dismissively) that they had no PC components and that their controllers weren't compatible with PC gaming. <br>The last bit was of course untrue, as I've had no trouble with the identical Xbox Controllers I've since purchased from the Wal-Mart next to them.<br>In short, F--- GameStop. They actively misinformed PC-gaming customers in the past about the few PC-compatible products they actually carried, they don't get my business now. <br>Frankly speaking, as much as I'd like to support 'local business' and all that, when it comes to computer parts, F--- all of them. All the big box stores are equally terrible, and to the extent that 'small local' shops still exist, they're shady AF and mostly exist to take advantage of people who don't know how to order online.
