I always see the Chicago Thread and I always feel that there should be an NYC thread due to the fact that I think alot of us are in the NYC and Westchester. Let me know what you think.

Just post in this thread if your in NYC, Westchester, or Around Those Areas and I'll add you to the list.

1-16-08 - I know I haven't updated this list in forever, but i'll try to work on it as I have nothing to do all next week :P... up to page 8 right now...like 10 more to go...

[CheapyD]

I think you might be on to something














<----- *points to Location*

[javeryh]

I also think you might be onto something. So since we are all in NYC, anyone know of a place to get the new NIN and Eels CDs on the cheap in midtown?

[mgriff]

I Used to Be In Manhattan along time ago, now I'm about 30 min away across the gwb and tappan zee

[mgriff]

I actually go the city at least once a month for various reasons. I'll probably end up going to a yankee game or two during the summer

EDIT: Should I put the title as The Official NYC Thread and Start Putting A List of Member in the NYC/Westchester Area When They Post In This Thread?

[encendido5]

This is a great idea. I was wondering why we didn't have one. It would be so easy to do trades and stuff since we're all in the area.

[mgriff]

Can I get confirmation from CheapyD or a Moderator, To call This The Official NYC Thread and Have It As A Stickie At The Top

[arsenalgear]

I'm a Westchester CAG.

[TheGreat2nd]

NYC, but I'm mostly in school :P

Also, upstate NY should be seperate from Long Island/NYC.
We have nothing in common :o

[omegaweapon7]

It doesn't need to be stickied, but it can be "official"

Grew up in the Bronx for the first 18 yrs, then went to college right over the tappan zee bridge called St.Thomas Aquinas College in sparkill.

I live in Farmingdale, but I actually work out in Bayshore, at Gamestop.

[encendido5]

So anything good in NYC? I went to the CC in Westchester, the one in the mall with the Target, Officemax, etc. They had a couple of the gamecube games that rang up at $1.99 but they wouldn't sell it to me claiming it was an error in the downloading. I didn't want to make a big fuss over it so I left them..

[NegativeZero]

I give you LIFE!

[mgriff]

Is there anyone else on CAG in NYC, that shares my love of Argentinian, Cuban, Caribbean Food.
I can't remember where these places are

For Argentinian Food-

Chimichurri Grill
Novecento

For Cuban Food-

Calle Ocho

For Carribean Food-

Cabana (I think its called that)



I also like to go shoot billiards at one of the many Amsterdam Billiard Halls, a bit expensive though.

[he1neken28]

westchester here as well....stay away from the Galleria!!!

[Soujiro_Seta]

I technically live on long island but spend most of my time in Queens and I go to school in the city. ^_^

[mgriff]

westchester here as well....stay away from the Galleria!!!

Why should we stay away from the galleria, I was thinking of maybe paying a visit to the gamestop there, and it doesn't look as dumpy as it used to.

[encendido5]

Apparently they're putting up a Best Buy on 5th and 43/44th. Now I won't have to trek all the way to 86th to get anything.

[smalien1]

Why should we stay away from the galleria, I was thinking of maybe paying a visit to the gamestop there, and it doesn't look as dumpy as it used to.


There was a stabbing there last week. Freak incident ignore it.

Here we consider the Westchester the rich peoples mall and the galleria the poorer one, I like the atmosphere of the galleria better.

[mgriff]

The Westchester doesn't really have any game stores though except for fye and the sony store which has rediculous prices, the only reason I go there is to eat at PF Chang's which has kickass chinese food.

[smalien1]

Sony Store?

[mgriff]

The Sony Store is fairly new I think, its basically just normal priced sony products, cameras, laptops, cd players, mp3 players, headphones, and anything else sony.

Their prices are basically the same that you would pay anywhere else.

[encendido5]

I haven't been to the Westchester in a while but smalien1 is right, it is considered the rich people mall. I think my friend said he saw Bobby Bonilla there once shopping with his wife and daughter.

[mgriff]

Yea, The Westchester is an upscale mall, and the Galleria is nowhere as upscale as the Westchester, but the Galleria doesn't look like trash anymore.

[moammo]

I live in FL but I visit NYC on a weekly basis.... does that count?

[smalien1]

Someone told me they rouund up all the homeless people from NR, PC etc and drop them of in White Plains too hang out

So who went to Connecticut to get fireworks this afternoon?

[Guest Number 2]

This is a great idea. I was wondering why we didn't have one. It would be so easy to do trades and stuff since we're all in the area.

Astral Mart Plaza wont cut anyone slack on the tax, NY taxes Suck, and my fave is Millenium Games on W.173rd St. btw Wadsworth & St Nich, all new or old used games are 50% of retail value, so $50 = $25 used and so forth. picked up tons of games there.

Nice, I used to go to Pelham Bay Park all the time, fun place to be. Damn... it's been a while since I went back to the Bronx, felt like forever.

[CheapyD]

Blockbuster on 33rd Street (between 3rd and Lex) in Manhattan is having Buy 2 Get 1 Free on all used games. In addition, they are clearing out a bunch of disc only games (mostly Gamecube) for $9.99 each.

Some good titles, such as:
Super Smash Bros.
Pikman 2
Mario Kart Double Dash
Rebel Assault III
Metroid Prime

Some xbox titles too:
Madden 2005
KOTOR II


I hid a nice stash on the second shelf from the top, far left.

Thanks for the heads up Cheapy. I'll have to check it out on Monday.

If anybody wants PoP:WW or Baten Kaitos for $10, my friend was able to successfully PM them at the Best Buy in the village (forget the exact address) using only a printout of the Circuit City website. There were still 2 copies left of each. Just make sure to adjust the margins so that the OOS part on the right side doesn't show.

[encendido5]

Just saw this on the CAG feedback forum and signed up:

http://cheapassgamer.meetup.com/3/

Is that meeting still on? Virgin Megastore is pretty convenient for me since it's only a couple of stops away on the 5 from work.

[NegativeZero]

Who Said What Now?

[arsenalgear]

Just as a heads-up, an excellent new indy videogame store opened up in Mt. Kisco in Westchester called Video Game Express...good prices and a good selection too.

[mgriff]

Westchester here. Sounds like I'm not near any of you.. and I'm not taking a train into the city to hook up with a few cags. It's always nice to know that a fellow cag I may be chatting with may live near me though.

[CheapyD]

The Blockbuster on 34th btw 3rd/Lex just got a fresh shipment of $9.99 disc only games. Some good titles including GT4, Midnight Club III (PS2/Xbox), and Outrun II. I picked up Jade Empire (last one).

There is a sign that says 25% off, but it didn't ring up.

You get only 30 more days or so of me checkin' through the Blockbuster racks ;)

[arsenalgear]

The Westchester blows...go to the Jefferson Valley--they've got GameStop, EB, FYE, and pedophiles at night!

[wildnuts02]

Hey guys, I might be getting a job in White Plains and I was wondering where I can find some decent housing with parking (i have a car). I don't know the area very well and I don't want to have to commute too much, but still have train access to midtown manhattan.

feel free to PM me. thanks in advance.

I can confirm this for a blockbuster in Long Island (nassau). They had God of War, Halo 2, Splinter Cell: CT, Jak III, Lego Star Wars, all for 9.99 + 25% off. I got a bunch of these (spent about $45) and traded them in for $120 at EB games while they still had the $5 for 5 promotion. God of War still goes for a $25 trade-in.

[IkilledLassic]

Long Island count? Originally from Mineola, 10 minutes from Jamaica....

[Wombat]

Yes, Wombat and I will be at Digital Life on Friday.


If any other CAG's will be there let us know so we can polielty ignore you :)

[ananag112]

I too will probably be at Digital Life. I was there last year and it was cool. My friend was presenting something on robotics last year for Intel.

I am from Bergen County BTW which is less than 5 minutes from NYC.

If there was a giant Tsunami headed for the east coast Westchester and the city would be ok because Long Island would act as a giant buffer. I saw that on the Discovery Channel and for some reason found it extremely funny.

[encendido5]

So any deals out there? I'm tempted to make a run at TRU in Times Square but am afraid I'd be wasting my time since stuff has been green-tagged for a while now.

[connigit]

Born and raised in the bronx. Throggs Neck, last stop on the 6.

Currently living in Brooklyn for the last few months.

And working on 40th and park.

I'm planning on check the TRU in times square next week for that buy 2 get one free sale.... still have to figure out about that green tag scam these people got going.

[NegativeZero]

Helloooooooooo Ppl!

[encendido5]

So who's the other person that has THUG2 reserved at the 86th street Best Buy? I picked mine up but saw another one was waiting behind the register.

[sonicfreak5]

NYC here...... DIGITAL LIFE WAS FREAKIN AWESOME well not really no 360 Damn u

[Skycaptain99]

NYC here...... DIGITAL LIFE WAS FREAKIN AWESOME well not really no 360 Damn u
Did they have the REVO controller there?

[CorruptionDee]

I'm from Manhattan. Currently living in the Bronx though.

[CorruptionDee]

NYC here...... DIGITAL LIFE WAS FREAKIN AWESOME well not really no 360 Damn u



That was the biggest disappointment for me. I couldn't believe there wasn't a single 360 kiosk. No playable 360s ticked me off of bit, but the show was okay. Plus, I got in for free with my friends, thanks to a nice Ziff Davis code that someone gave me. Not a bad show at all, but I have higher expectations for next year's event.

Oh, and to add insult to injury, I hear some Walmarts now have Xbox 360 kiosks. Walmart has one, but Digital Life doesn't? We don't have a Walmart in any of the 5 boroughs.

[TheGreat2nd]

Any NYC deals?

[gugaplex]

hey, if anyone lives near the Palisades Center Mall in West Nyack, NY, the compusa there has a decent clearence of ps2 games. Theres a rack right when you walk in near the customer service desk. Pricing was a little wierd,, all of xx.23, xx.33, xx.47 prices.

Quickly browsing, I saw:

Devil May Cry 3 29.xx
God of War 29.xx
Xenosaga 2 11.xx
Vietiful Joe 2 9.xx
Death by Degrees 11.xx
Cold Winter 11.xx


Just a few i could remember. Saw lots of .hacks, project snowblinds, jampacks, and such. Didnt see any xbox games.

I went back to the West Nyack Compusa to check if there was a price drop on the ps2 clearence and found that they put out the xbox games. Picked up KOTOR2, Oddworld Stranger, and Prince of Persia warrior within for 12.xx each. Saw some Halo 2 collectors editions clearenced for 29.xx if i remember correctly. Not much xbox stuff, but they still had a lot of ps2 stuff.

That's hysterical. I'm from Katonah. Love going to JV and not just for the 14 year old girls dressing like 19 yr old sl*ts. (what is the rating on this site, PG-13?)



The Westchester blows...go to the Jefferson Valley--they've got GameStop, EB, FYE, and pedophiles at night!

[encendido5]

Where is everybody going to on black friday? I'm going to the Palisades mall early and see what I can find. I think I'll take my DS and Mario Kart also to play while waiting on the hour long checkout line at the Best Buy.

Ahahaha, damn straight! How you been smalien? I have been gone for too long. Busy doing the college app thing so I haven't spent much time around here. Smalien, you got a trade list? We should trade sometime, I can come to your house and pick it up.

Does anyone wanna have a gaming night

[encendido5]

Does anyone wanna have a gaming night

That would be cool. Maybe we can start off small like meeting up at a McD's with our DS's and some games and see how many people are interested.

[depascal22]

Too bad I don't have a DS.

[whitereflection]

A game night would definitely be cool.

mgriff, do you still play DC or were you just into it "back in the day"?

[atane]

Don't post much, but i'm on Staten Island and work on Wall Street.

[psychobuck]

Brooklyn here !!

[depascal22]

Still no love for me on the first page. Just moved to Tarrytown from New Rochelle. Still working in White Plains.

It's a great time to be a cheap ass gamer. (especially in Westchester)

I work at the Tarrytown farmer's market

Feel free to add me in too, I'm from Hartsdale, which is just south of White Plains.

any good pawn shops around here? I've lived in Westchester for 2 years now and I still haven't found one with decent deals. I've heard about a new mom and pop store in Mt Kisco but allegedly their prices are like the TRU in White Plains. 5 extra on every game in stock and astronomical prices on used games with little in stock to even make it worth the trip.


On a side note, has anyone considered the next step for CAGs? Game nights would be fun but I'd like to start my own arcade/game shop. I know this would be a huge drain on my time and my finances but it's not exactly like I'm making money now am I? I'm thinking now that the 70's are back in fashion, and the 80's are coming back, arcades might become huge again especially if the PS3 is priced out of the price range of the average joe/jane. I'd put it on Mamaroneck Ave right across from City Place. There are always a million kids haging out in front of the movie theatre, or at the fountain and Starbucks. There are a few vacant storefronts right there. I'm pretty sure the rent is pretty high because Foot Locker was forced out but this seems like it could be huge.....especially as an alternative to high priced crappy movies.

[King Bahamut]

Arcades? There's not that many people out there that go to a place for the arcades...Sportstime USA & New Roc City are like the only places in Westchester people really go to.

[Lextacy]

Wow! I havent been to Sportstime in so long. I wonder if its the same. It was always one of my fave little spots to hang out.

[mgriff]

A game night would definitely be cool.

mgriff, do you still play DC or were you just into it "back in the day"?

i still play my DC constantly, all the goodies on that system. A gaming night would be awesome, i don't think anyone really has a store in the area, it would be cool if someone with a big basement/game room that wanted to host a gaming night in the westchester/rockland area, that would probably work out, although i doubt someone would want to go through that sorta thing.

[rpgpeng]

I guess you could count me in... I live near Chinatown.

[Draknight]

Geez why has it taken me so long to post something here. Anywho, I'm in brooklyn /queens.

If something like that does happen and I'm around, I can bring some alcohol, assuming people pay me.

[depascal22]

It might be better if this was BYOB. That way you dont run into any legal trouble and CAG that are under 21 could join in. If not, I've got a nice bottle of Grey Goose that would be perfect for a gaming night.

[Cheese]

I say I'm from Hoboken, but actually I live three blocks into Jersey City.

[laiernie]

i'm in white plains, would have posted sooner, but i just found this thread today.

[depascal22]

So a game night or no? Or did some of you guys already partake? Let me know, so I can get some practice in.

[mgriff]

we didn't have a gaming night yet b/c no one has volunteered a place for a cag gaming night...

[King Bahamut]

If there is one, I vote for it to be in Westchester.

[depascal22]

My wife and daughter are going out of town the weekend of the 25th. If you guys want to come to Tarrytown, I'm game. I've got XBox, PS2, Gamecube, and Dreamcast. I've only got 32" Phillips and a 26" Maxent but that should be all right since I've got a pretty small living room.

On unrelated news. A buddy I work with has a band and he's playing at the Blue Moon in Bronxville. 10pm on March 25th. It's on the corner of Sagamore and Pondfield. PM me and I can give you directions. They've played there twice and the turnout has been pretty good. I work in a hospital so if you want to meet some hot single nurses, you might want to be there.....

[depascal22]

If anyone's interested in a game night in 10 days, let me know. I don't mind having it at my place.

[Cantelope]

Queens right here.

[depascal22]

Guess not then......anyone......Bueller.....Bueller.....

Queens native here, regularly at Queens Center looking for cheap ass games:bouncy:

[Southard]

I live in westchester but go to college in the city so sign me up.

[encendido5]

bunch of people here, but nobody wants to meet up apparently. The Nintendo Store would be a cool place to meet since you can play games for free upstairs.

[King Bahamut]

I'd meet up in the city sometime. I'll be free after May 21 (undergrad graduation), but I'll be away in mid August for grad school.

[scion of ys]

so any plans for a game night???? wouldnt mind going to manhattan or a place in brooklyn........

[djranmas]

Well... I used to hang out a lot at the FuncoLand on Central Avenue in Yonkers with this kid called GW (Game Wizard). Lived in Mount Vernon all my life, and now I reside in the South Bronx by Yankee Stadium. I can meet on weekends cuz I work 3:30 to 12. Shoot, I'm down for game night. :D

[depascal22]

everyone's down for a game night but there isn't any consensus on where we should hold it.

[cisco49]

I live in uptown manhattan and still looking for an xbox 360.
Jeez. I've seen them all over in Westchester. Try taking the Metro North (to White Plains) on a weekend.

Oh yeah. Born, raised and still represent the Bronx...

[stevez0r]

Another Bronxite on CAG. Where do I sign up?

I live in the Murray Hill area of Manhattan and work near the Gamestop on 33rd and Broadway.

If anyone here likes OCReMix (http://www.ocremix.org), you'd probably be interested to know that there's an NYC OCReMix meetup tomorrow - see the thread at OCReMix for details, and post there if you're interested.

[quest1962]

Jersey City, work in Manhattan. Does anyone actually get together from this thread? Not a lot of chit-chat here.

[bezelbubba]

We have a pretty massive east coast / New York metro presence...
I have always wondered why we have never held a CAG ( Cheap Ass Gathering) you know kinda a meet and munch or some stuff, you know a night on the town where we all get together. The comic convention is comming up, and sadley there hasntbeen any gamers night groves in a long time. Whadda ya think?

[King Bahamut]

I think this thread kinda died. I guess people turned off the thread subscription or are ignoring them?

[depascal22]

I just got tired of calling for a gaming night. It seemed like every one ignored me. I volunteered my place and no one said anything. That's the last time I put myself out there like that.

[nadsofed]

I think the Idea of a game night sounds good. I used to go all the time in college.

[scion of ys]

i don't think this thread died.. i think it's just that most people never decided to commit to the idea of meeting with other cags, it's a good idea though..

[depascal22]

I'm down for a game night as long as it's on a weekend. I would do it at my place but I'm getting ready to move in a couple weeks.

[scion of ys]

well if we do have game night i could bring a bunch of my ps fighting games along like: capcom vs. snk 2, street fighter anniversary collection, and street fighter alpha 3..

[depascal22]

Are you in NYC or Westchester? If you're in Westchester, I'm always down for some Street Fighter. I'm getting rusty because there's no competition unless I want to go to Manhattan.

[mickeyp]

Long Island

[scion of ys]

i live in nyc.. which is too bad since i have only one person who i ever play these games against

[bezelbubba]

in westchester, theres a place called the pheonix in scarsdale run by some old dragons den folks. They are always receptive to meetings and have a hige hall to rent. They always have snack machenes, and tvs there. I can check into this.

[depascal22]

Well, I'll be working in Manhattan soon enough. I'm applying to Mt Sinai and Montefiore next week. Even if you're in Manhattan, I'm willing to jump on a train if there's gonna be a CAG gaming night. And I'm talking more than 2 dudes and a 12 pack of Pepsi.

Where in Scarsdale is the Phoenix? I'm in that area all the time and I've never seen it.
