Joystiq has learned that retailer Game Crazy plans to close 200 of its approximately 680 locations at the end of October. Sources working at Game Crazy stores attached to Hollywood Video locations have told us that the movie rental chain will remain open after their stores' closures.

It's a problem with 1) retail based video rental locations as Game Crazy is owned by Hollywood Video, 2) Game Crazy itself being mismanaged & bad customer service, 3) the US economy in general. A perfect storm.
