ALIF -- further proof that the video game market is recession-proof:

GameStop holiday sales surge, shares jump

By BARBARA ORTUTAY – 1 hour ago

NEW YORK (AP) — In what was a dismal holiday season for many store chains, video game retailer GameStop Corp. proved an exception.

The company said Thursday its sales for the November-December period jumped more than 22 percent, boosted by strong sales of new games. Same-store sales, or sales at stores open at least a year, grew 10.2 percent in the nine weeks between Nov. 2 and Jan. 3.
