On CAPS, 95% of the 245 members who have rated GameStop believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include hendrixtrader and TWreckz.

Late last month, hendrixtrader tapped GameStop as a great way to engage in some Modern Warfare: "[GameStop] is here to stay. ... Modern Warfare 2 and Assassins Creed 2 will boost next quarter sales. Parents will do what makes their kids happy. GameStop makes kids happy."

In an earlier pitch, TWreckz also encouraged Fools to get in the game:

GameStop has the best model for buying/selling used games. I think that even in hard times, people will still buy video games; they're a pretty good value, seeing as how you can buy one game for a relatively inexpensive price (especially a used game) and get tons of hours of entertainment out of it. I think they will also benefit from sales of some of the more anticipated titles coming out in the next 6 months.
