We got tipped by an anonymous Gamestop employee that the chain wonât accept original Xbox games, consoles and accessories as of Feb. 9. Looks like this is officially it for the console.
Says our tipster:
âThe Marketing kit for this coming Sunday has a sign that says Gamestop will no longer be accepting Xbox games, systems and accessories as of Feb 9th. Finally, corporate has realized this, after selling an incredibly low number of systems and games. My store probably sells one Xbox a month or so.â
Is it just me, or is this now a milestone for original Xâs demise? Iâm guessing theyâll sell or bury the rest of their original Xbox stock over time. But when your consoleâs no longer currency at Gamestop, the party is over, my friend.
