Is there a way to find out if there is locations close by or coming soon? I searched google and didn't find anything of help. Btw Moviestop is just like gamestop except with movies, it's totally badass I went to one when I was down in Columbus Georgia, really hope one comes within 50 or so miles of my house

MovieStop
GameStop franchised the name MovieStop to Russ Howard, a former executive for BlockBuster. The two companies are not directly related.
MovieStop stores focus on selling movies rather than games, with a structure similar to that of a GameStop. They buy, sell, and trade movies. MovieStop offers an array of movies, both used and new, in DVD, Blu-ray Disc, and Universal Media Disc formats. As of July 2008, there are 45 MovieStop stores across the United States, including those in Pennsylvania, Alabama, Virginia, Georgia, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Maryland, North Carolina, and Florida. Also, similar to GameStop's policy with games, customers do not need a case to trade movies. However, at MovieStop, an item traded without its original case yields less store credit or cash than an item with its original case.
MovieStop contracted E-Play to produce kiosks that buy, sell, and rent movies. These are normally found in GameStops in the midwest and southeast of the United States[citation needed] . They exchange your DVD's or Blu-Rays for GameStop store credit. The kiosk pricing follows GameStop rules, however the kiosk itself does not sell disks in cases. If you wish to have the case you must ask a GameStop employee to fetch it. You may also rent movies from the kiosk.
MovieStop machines found outside of GameStop stores will only accept disks in return for the credit of the store they are found at.


Wiki info, so yeah only 45 stores but you'd think they'd at least have a website up and have a coming soon section somewhere, I mean it's bound to be a big hit as gamestop is as people love cheap entertainment that can be had a 10 minute drive away
