I looked online and didn't find much. I heard prior that they aren't the official franchise and that it's just a name.
Are these guys still in business?
I've got some Wii games and accessories to trade in. If open, do they do this? |

| I was there a couple of months back. They're still there. Worth a visit for those hard to find games. |

I was just up there this weekend. The place is most certainly still there. And no, it is most certainly NOT a 'real' GameStop. The owners have taken advantage of Korea's lax/non-existent enforcement of foreign trademarks in an effort to cater to American servicemembers at the Osan base. Hell, it even says 'Power to the player' underneath the name!
They do take trades, this is in fact a major part of their business. However, like their namesake you will be well and truly ripped off in the process, so prepare yourself. Upside is that their game stock is pretty quality overall, with generally American titles/versions. |

They're south of Osan city. The nearest subway station is Songton. It's just down the "American" street outside the main gates. |
