Dallas CAGs, do you exist?!

[neudog]

Didn't want to start a Fort Worth Thread for the following deal, so I'll post it here. Was at Ridgmar Mall (River Oaks area) today and they had three 3-month LIVE Subscriptions for $9.99 each. They might be cheaper than the sticker price, but I didn't scan.

[agws]

I"m interested in that dragon quest 8 copy :o I live in Fort Worth btw :o

I" m sure someone has an extra copy that they got fromt he cc clearance sell.

[banpeikun]

i have an extra copy from before the cc clearance

[reibeatall]

Does anybody here ever go to the Third Monday Trade Days in McKinney? Just wonderin.

[DeathDealer]

never heard of it. tell me about it.
im in plano by the way.

[Backlash]

I've also never heard of it - what is that?

[writimagination]

I found their website (http://www.tmtd.com/). I've never been though. It's not very far from me at all so I may try to check it out this month. I'd like to know if it's worth it for games and other eletronics. I wish reibeatall would reply...

[Zygote]

Anyone checked that CompUSA store in Irving thats closing? They might drop prices gradually like Radio Shack did with some stores.

[PRGuitarman]

Garland CAGer here. I was waiting at the front doors of CC in Rockwall, then immediately drove to the one on Town East the day they had that clearance sale and managed to grab quite a few games.

[toadielurks]

Don't know if any of you have PC's but at the Lewisville Circuit City they have quite a few (older) PC games dirt cheap.. trying to remember all the prices but here you go..

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets - $1.28
Harry Potter and the Prizoner of Azkaban - $2.74
Beyond Good & Evil - $2.96
Command & Conquer: Renegade - $1.96
Mob Enforcer - $1.33
Battlefield 1942- The Road to Rome - $1.28
Total War - Vikings Expansion for Medieval Total War - $1.28
The Bard's Tale - $4.96
Lord of the Rings: War of the Ring - $2.68
Boiling Point - $9.99
Command & Conquer: Generals - $6.96

There are some more (at least there were at about 4pm Saturday) but i can't remember them at the moment.

[reibeatall]

AHHHH Sorry for not replying sooner guys.
McKinney Trade Days is really either hit-or-miss. I've found an unopened Brave Fencer Mushashi, but I've also gone away empty handed several times.

It's basically just a huge flea market. But it's a bit better than that. Except in this heat. I used to go every month, but I just can't do that to myself right now.

[Backlash]

I was gonna go this past weekend but we forgot until Sat at about 2pm and then we figured it was probably too late, more or less.

[mariofan361]

Fort Worth here, nothing much to contribute now with school, but I don't wanna forget about this thread.

[reibeatall]

Yeah, the best time to go is Saturday morning, since no venders are really there on Friday.

[reibeatall]

The next Trade Days will be the 15th, the 16th, and the 17th. I'm gonna be heading up there Sunday, so here's hoping I find something awesome.

[Zimarooski]

I exist, I exist. Fort Worth + School in Dallas.

What is this Trade Day I've read about?

[AirBrian]

Trade Days in McKinney is very hit/miss with it usually being a miss. Basically a giant flea market with typical arts and crafts.

[reibeatall]

Last time I got a stack of Dreamcast games for 3 bucks. Included in it was Sonic Adventure 2.

[Pestilence]

Im from Dallas, (specifically Desoto), im a lurker here, so i dont post often.

anyone know of any good places to buy a 360 in dallas? craigslist has some
pretty intriguing offers, but would rather buy brand new on the cheap.

Thanks guys!

[TexTuna]

Unless you are in the right place at the right time Craigs List still has about the best opportunity, just get one that is unopened.

Fry's has had them several times within the past week when I have gone in during lunch but they require a rediculous bundle purchase (5 games - $1000 for 20gig, $1100 for 60gig) and their game selection absolutely positively sucks allways (this is the Fry's in Plano, the one in Dallas might be different as far as selection).

I don't know about this week but last week most of the Gamestops received some - I did see them available at the one in the Collin Creek Mall in Plano at regular price with no bundle purchase required.

Actually, when it comes down to it I've seen more PS3's in the stores than I have Wii's.

[reibeatall]

Hey TexTuna, Pestilence was looking for a 360...

[EvilNuff]

I'm from Frisco. Pestilence, online deals will almost always be better than local stores because free/cheap shipping is less than tax. If you do want to buy locally look into the Microcenter $100 rebate, I think they re-instated that, will probably be your best local deal. Target at one point was giving a $50 giftcard with the purchase of one, don't know if that's still in effect though.

[TexTuna]

360's can be had just about anywhere. Microcenter has the best deal (IMO) with a $100 MIR on them. A few other retialers (TRU, Best Buy, Walmart, Circuit City, etc.) are offering giftcards from $25 to $100 upon purchase and many are including a game or another wireless controller.


I had been holding off all year getting a 360 with the intentions of getting a PS3 instead - but then there was the price, the availability, and the final straw the fact that it can't play games in 1080i on my older (as in ancient) HDTV. So I threw in the towell and purchased a 360 Premium from Microcenter for the family for Xmas so won't have it setup and playing until then (it's a surprise for the boys, they think the Wii was their Xmas).

TexTuna

[Pestilence]

Thanks guys i appreciate the help.

im probably gonna keep an eye on craigslist, and if no luck there, ill just go to TRU for the $100 gift card deal.

Sony just released a firmwire update that lets you play games in 1080i.

http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/06/sony-releases-ps3-firmware-1-3-ignores-1080i-woes/

[reibeatall]

I thought our Microcenter shut down... where's the DFW one?

[meanbean]

75 and Spring Valley. It's right next to Loewe's Movie Theater.

[Santurio]

I thought our Microcenter shut down... where's the DFW one?
Richardson- MicroCenter (http://microcenter.com/at_the_stores/richardson.html)

I haven't been there in awhile but I get the ad papers and they just had a VideoGame Section grand opening.

[reibeatall]

Hmm, then what store that carried games was I thinking of... I think it was in Plano and shut down 3 years ago.

I don't make it down to Richardson much, so that's probably why I forgot about it.

[rye]

I was at CC on 75 last night while they were putting out wiimotes and nunchucks. I believe they had 10 of each.

Also, I was at TRU on 75 last night and the lady in the games department said she thought they may be getting wiis on their overnight shipment (available this morning)

I'm heading over there in about 5 minutes for some other stuff anyway (Fatal Frame 3 at TRU) so I'll check it out and update here.

[rokkon]

Anyone have any updates on Wii availability, asside from possibly Sunday?

[reibeatall]

I've heard that TRU's have them today.

[rokkon]

Man, I was just at one the day before yesterday. They had remotes so I picked up 2, don't feel like going back and finding out I missed my chance. :( Maybe I'll just wait till Sunday, or I'll go Wii hunting tomorrow/saturday.

[rokkon]

Checked itrackr this morning/last night and saw that the Medallion Target (right where I live) had some in stock. Left early before work and what a surprise when I got there and there was a girl checking one out right when I walked up. Luckily they had 2 left and I got one.

[fmarxnge]

Anyone seen any DS Lites in stock anywhere?

I called every possible store around here and all say that they are all sold out, but tell me to call back on Tuesday or Wednesday to check up on availability...

I've been hearing many different things from different locations of GameStop so I really don't know what to believe

[reibeatall]

Don't bother with GameStop. We've been told not to expect them until the end of January.

[fmarxnge]

If anyone is still looking for DS Lites, the Target in West Plano on Park and Tollway has a bunch

I counted 10 pink ones and 6 black ones

[toocool17]

Has anyone gone to any tru's to get guides/games? I went to the one in frisco, and they only had a few clearance games left but I did see abunch of penny guides. Gonna head out to the one in lewisville tommorow.

[reibeatall]

I hit it up the first day of the sale, and picked up the last copies of a few of the games. Apparently somebody was there before me and got the games I REALLY wanted.

If you check the lewisville one, could you see if they've got Atlier Iris 2?

[toocool17]

Just got back from the one in lewisville. They had nothing good, and they didn't have any guides either. Just saw abunch of tomb raiders and true crime ny's.

[pfresh85]

Anyone seen any Wiis in the northern part of Dallas? I just got back to Richardson, and I've been looking around for about a week now. I've been using itrackr as well as some other sites, but I've yet to see any pop up on there. I've also went around to various stores and none have any and most don't know when they'll get more in. If I had some vague idea of when they'd get them in, then I'd know whether it's actually worth my while to be up there when they open.

[rye]

Sunday is still probably the best day to seek out a Wii. That is how I got mine.

A friend of mine picked up a PS3 at Best Buy yesterday.

[pfresh85]

Two Gamestops in Richardson got Wiis in yesterday morning, but I had class so I couldn't be there when they opened. By the time I got there, they were sold out. According to them, the shipments lasted less than 5 minutes. Quite sad.

I am hearing that this next week Best Buy is supposed to get a decent sized shipment and Target is stock piling for the 21st. So I guess if I can't find one this weekend, I still have chances there.

[NamPaehc]

http://www.superauctions.com/ Will be in Dallas this Saturday auctioning Arcade & Pinball machines.

[reibeatall]

Does anybody still go to GameWorks?

[Santurio]

Does anybody still go to GameWorks?
I haven't been there in a long time.

[reibeatall]

Neither have I. I want to go, but I'd feel like I was wasting money, cause I'd probably just blow all my time away playing DDR.

[guyver2077]

man i am in downtown dallas right now by aa center...

where the fuck is there a video game store... i havent seen anything at all!

[Backlash]

All I have really seen in the DFW area is EB/Gamestop and the like. :(

[Santurio]

There isn't any kind of videogame store in downtown, that I know of. If you cross over and hit Hwy 75 and go north you could go near Greenville and find an EB and a Gamestop. If you go farther you will hit a BB, TrU and a CC.

[guyver2077]

fuck.. i really dont know the area so going far isnt an option.. i cant belive there isnt anything close by

[Santurio]

what is it you're trying to find?

[guyver2077]

what is it you're trying to find?

lol anything and everything..

its no big deal i guess... i just found it odd that theres no cc, bb, or eb near me...not one store with games...

[Santurio]

oh. yeah, there's stuff around, but not right in Downtown. Going north on 75 would be your best bet, maybe about 4-5 miles, and you would run into all of them. If you exit Lovers Lane go east to the light and then go north on Greenville on the west side of the street you would see an EB and about a block farther north you would find a Gamestop unless they've closed one of them by now. If you head back to the hwy go north again about 2 exits and exit Park Lane, you will find BestBuy and CompUSA. Tru is just north of BB if you take the service road. One more exit north, I don't know this street, and you will find CC.

That BB on 75 is actually pretty good. They have some stuff that I can't find at others stores and they have that new Magnolia home theater section.

[tiredfornow]

anyone familiar with Lewsville? I might be going up there for a few months to stay with my sister.. but I dont know shit up there.. and she wouldnt be able to tell me shit either.. any independent gaming stores or anything? LMK, thanks :D

[reibeatall]

Not too familiar with Lewisville, sorry.

Is anybody going to attempt to score some games at the Best Buy Clearance?

[toocool17]

I went to the best buy in lewisville after work yesturday. There was only a few games, someone got there before me or they didn't have crap to begin with. I will try the store in plano later today.

[reibeatall]

I hit up Frisco yesterday to check it out, and nothing really. I'm going back tommorow morning to see if they had some of the stuff pulled. After that, I'm hitting McKinney, and depending on how much time I have left, I might hit Plano too. So that'll make 3 of us (toocool, Sabo, and myself) that are hitting Plano. Here's hoping there's something good.

[sabo]

hey guys, if anyone is hitting this best buy sale could you snag a copy of prince of persia two thrones for me? it says there's none in our district but who knows.

Also, I think we Dallas CAG'ers should unite and trade if anyone sees alot of a good game. Too bad i don't really have the cash to prebuy, some of these games are REALLY dropping alot.

[reibeatall]

What system? PS2?

[dpatel]

I had no luck at the frisco or mckinney best buys. They didn't have a single game. Anyone else have any luck?

[banpeikun]

i haven't tried yet because i heard about this sale late (just now), but i've had the best luck at the park lane/75 store (that santurio mentioned) and the one way out by loop 12/ i-20 (or is it i-30)

[Zygote]

The BB in Lewisville had these deals with some 'demo' sticker but its sealed like the rest . Saw this yesterday night

Baten Kaitos origins for GC $16.99
Yakuza for PS2 $15.99
Godfather for XBOX360 $19.99

[Santurio]

Yeah that one on Park Ln is awesome. They always have quite a few of the sale games. The one in Oak Cliff is usually prety good too. I didn't even know about this sale until late today so I didn't get a chance to check.

[reibeatall]

I had no luck at the frisco or mckinney best buys. They didn't have a single game. Anyone else have any luck?

Yep, I was at McKinney at open, and I met another CAG there. From there, I managed to get

Shaman King GBA
Killer 7 PS2
Onimusha 2 PS2
Lunar DS
King Kong DS
Valkyrie Profile PSP.

After that, I met up with my mom at Starbucks, then went to the Plano BB. I grabbed a few of what was left there,

Yu-Gi-Oh Xbox
King of Fighters Xbox
One Piece PS2
and I grabbed Fire Emblem 2 for GBA, even though it wasn't part of the sale.


On my way to work tonight, I went to the Frisco BB, and they had Harvest Moon GC and a few Legends of Wrestling, I also found Street Fighter Anniversery Collection for Xbox, which I had them hold, but I forgot to go back for it.

I made sure to leave games I didn't want at all 3 stores I went to, but I'm thinking I should have just grabbed what I could for CAGers.

[banpeikun]

Any chance of you trading that Valkyrie Profile reibeatall?

[reibeatall]

Any chance of you trading that Valkyrie Profile reibeatall?

Actually, yeah. I don't have a PSP, but I knew if I left it, some SD or FW would grab it, so I wanted to share with the CAGers. I'd prefer to trade, because selling it seems just like eBaying it.

[sabo]

oops forgot to check this thread. yeah, reibeatall, i was lookin for the ps2 prince of persia.

That plano best buy is the only one i've seen that has any of that fire emblem left, and i guess the one piece game that i left at the plano best buy reibeatall picked up. i was so close to picking up samurai champloo but my friend from school beat me to it by less than 5 min, and he found out about it through ign, so funny.

Did a CAGer pick up FF crystal chronicles? cuz when i left there were 2 there but i dont have a GC/Wii and i heard its not very fun without hooking up to the GBA.

[reibeatall]

Yeah, I grabbed Fire Emblem after your tip, thanks! And again, I picked up that last One Piece. I saw the guy who had the last FFCC at Plano, but neither of the other two stores I went to had any left.

[sabo]

as a side note, has anyone gotten those coupons from the CAG coupon pack to work??

they're almost 5 dollars off any game on any system basically.......i usually am not too brave about these things but they've reported mucho success with it and i was gonna try it out later this week.

edit: the store is best buy

[reibeatall]

Yeah, I printed off one of the $5 off coupons and bought something with it. I don't remember what, exactly, but I remember that it worked.

[bongcai]

I have brand new DDR arcade steel platform by Intec. I'm selling it for $89. Anybody interested? Pick up only, in Plano, Tx.

[dpatel]

Has anyone been checking out the Office Depots? The one's near me aren't closing down. I really want a laptop, but I hate to check if they aren't discounted enough as it is quite a drive for me. Last I checked, laptops were only 5% off. Have they gotten any cheaper?

[reibeatall]

I don't know where the closest Office Depot is. There's one in Frisco, but I'm not sure if it's Office Depot or Office Max...

[Santurio]

I have passed the one on Central a few times but I haven't gone in. They have signs all over it saying it's closing but I just haven't been compelled to check it out.

[sabo]

hate to be nitpicky but i believe the chain is compUSA and yeah i've been a couple of times but so far it hasn't been worth it, if anyone can report any good finds i'll go check it out. im really looking for a flat panel monitor for my desktop.

[dallow]

Yeah, all the CompUSA's are closing in the DFW area.

They still had lots of games a couple of weeks ago, but only because the discount was still only 10%.

It's hard for me to shop there because the store is setup the exact same way as when my Tower Records closed. Same signs and everything...

[Brainwave0]

When I was in Dallas a couple of weeks ago, the games were 15% off.

[reibeatall]

Frisco's CompUSA is staying open.

[reibeatall]

Anybody go to Edgefest?

[Backlash]

Are there any Gamestops/EBs around who still sell N64 games?

[shirase]

Anybody go to Edgefest?

Edgefest ROCKED. :D

[TexTuna]

Check out Movie Trading Company. I went into the Frisco location the other day and noted all kinds of cartridge games. I'm guessing since MTC is part of the Blockbuster chain, BB funelled much of their cartridge games to them - that's my guess anyways. They never used to have plastic at this location before (that I remember) but here is alot of it now.

Movie trading co isn't apart of blockbuster, I thought the same thing but when I asked an employee they told me other wise. The MTC all carry games for just about all old systems: ps1, n64, snes, etc. I have seen many rare games there but they are usually exspensive. All I have traded in a few games in there and they require the original box, the trade in prices are pretty good.

[mariofan361]

MTC is very overpriced on the rare stuff but really reasonable otherwise. Maybe I'm just bitter that I don't want to spend 60 bucks on a Greatest Hits Fair condition FFVII.

I like them for the less rare stuff that I got rid of years ago (NES stuff) that I wanna try out again.

[toocool17]

Ya that is true some of the rare stuff is a bit exspensive. The other day I found all 3 karaoke revolutions, the total was like $50 and got like $150 for them on ebay.

The only ones I can think of are Gameworks at the Grapevine Mills Mall, and any Dave and Busters.

[dallow]

From which Target? 2nded!

[Backlash]

There's an arcade in the West End, which is near downtown. There's some bars and stuff down there, too, if you're 21 you might want to check it out. It's not as good as Lower Greenville though.

Yeah, it's closed now. The whole West End is pretty pathetic at this point. It's too bad, because I really enjoyed that place.

[Arikado]

Any of you around Arlington check out the new Entertainmart that just opened up on Cooper and Mayfield? Tons of used CDs, DVDs, and games. Plus they're paying a ton for games and systems. Rainbow Six Vegas nets 40 bucks cash, an Xbox 360 Elite nets 400 bucks cash, and they're even still taking in Gears of War for 40 cash. Huge store, and a pretty awesome selection of stuff.

[red flare graf]

Based on the last 7 weeks, it'll probably be raining on Saturday.

Ha! I was in Dallas yesterday and the weather was fucking beautiful. I guess I got lucky.

I didn't do a hell of a lot.. Went to the Palladium to see Sounds of the Underground. I hit up the Kwik-e-Mart, checked out the comic book store on the Northwest Highway (I forgot the name), went to a strip club.. Just picked a totally random one and that blew away anything we have up here. Dave & Buster's, Frys.

Dallas is great though, I give you props. I've been before but I was just a kid.

[Stewdude]

Ok dallas I figured out that half priced books has great deals on computer games. i just bought the new dungeon siege 2 bundle for 10$ this is more than half the cost from wal-mart. they also had some titles like half life 2 for the pc for 10 dollars as well. should check them out

[MasterSprtn117]

Another Dallas CAGer here. Anyone know when the next Gamestop but 2 used games get 1 free deal is coming around?

[toocool17]

If anyone is interested, I go to Brookhaven and we are having a big yard sale for Phi Theta Kappa which is the honor society for the 2 year colleges. There will be tons of items, some video game related items but mostly electronics, computer parts, clothes, antiques, and other random stuff. Thanks

[Santurio]

when?

[toocool17]

Woops sorry, I left out the important stuff. It is this saturday 08/18 from 8am-2pm. Also I think the valley view entrance will be blocked due to repairs so you have to enter from alpha.

[dallow]

Yes, when.
I live right next to Brookhaven so...

EDIT: Thanks, I should go.

Wait, where exactly is it?
On the little road next to Alpha by midway?

It is gonna be at brookhaven in the parking lot in front of the S building, which is the one facing valley view, but that entrance is supposed to be blocked off, so you have to enter from alpha and come around to the front of the school.

*Also I can give you guys some free video game stuff if I see you there, I have some free game posters from gamestop, a video game standee which you ave to build it has (gun, true crime, and cod 2 i think), and I have some psp/ds demo games and a few real games, that I have no use for.* I will be the indian kid wearing a grey phi theta kappa shirt, and I am a twin so if you see 2 of me don't be shocked. I should be there for most of the day (maybe go get lunch), and Thanks again for those who come! -AJ

The strip clubs can be great. But it seems some of my favorites have declined since I last visited. But I did recently go back to one I had written off years ago but now is fucking awesome, The Clubhouse.

[red flare graf]

I just picked a random ass strip club when I went last month. Platinum II, I think it was called? And it was fucking awesome.. $2 admission? I thought she was kidding me. You've got to pay 10 bones to get in and see some hillbilly ass girls around here.

[dg7md]

Just checking in, I'm in Mesquite.

[olde_english]

Garland here

[jeffg]

I am in the Metroplex Burleson to be exact.

On the Movie Trading Company issue, they are owned by Vintage Stock which is a big chain in Oklahoma and Missouri. The ones up there carry old toys too like Transformers, GI Joes, etc.

That is why Movie Trading Company started carrying old games in the last 5 or 6 months. Some stuff they have no clue on like TG-16 games which I found 6 of them for $3.99 each no matter what, and all Atari games are $1.99 no matter how rare. Alot of stuff is overpriced though.

Flea Markets around here are great though, I moved down here 15 months ago from Ohio, and you wouldn't believe all the stuff I have found at flea markets that was rare.

Agreed on the overpricing. They had a labor day sale and I stopped at the one on 35 in Lewisville before heading back up to Oklahoma. They had buy 3 get 1 free on everything used, but I am not paying more than $10 on old n64 cartridges. Disc Only DVDs were only $.99 and I found a couple of Playstation games in the mix (Strikers 1945, Dragon Warrior VIII).

What are some good flea markets around the Dallas area. My family went to Canton First Monday last Sunday and there was only one vendor selling video games at high prices. Any other good flea markets?

That place was my goto spot for when buddies wanted to go to a strip bar or watch a boxing/UFC fight. I went recently but it just wasn't the same aside form some blonde chick stepping into the shower room and putting on a show.

I haven't been in a while but Trader's Village in Grand Prairie always had a few people selling video games at decent prices.

I may go to the Gamestop on hebron and Josey not sure yet. Has anyone tried taking that special Gamestop flyer to the 2 stores in Plano? The flyer had get 50% extra on all game trades and $30 extra on any hardware (except gc and gameboys). I think the coupons didn't end till 10/31, I will try going there next week if anyone hasn't already.

hello, everyone. I just thought I would let you know that the sony playstation 18-wheeler is at the gamestop on josey and george bush. They have a bunch of lcd tvs and games to play. They are there this whole weeken: friday, saturday, sunday. They also are doing some contests and giving away free playstation gear. I won 2 contests and got some playstation t-shirts. Just thought I would give you guys a heads up.

Thanks I will have to check them out.

[Backlash]

Unfortunately, I can't give many details, but there is a great independent game store south of Dallas that has lots of old stuff. I found it accidentally on my way back from Austin one time a couple of years ago. I think maybe it's near Waxahatchie? It's definitely in a shopping center right off 35. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

[reibeatall]

There's a Console Game Exchange in the Stonebriar Mall in Frisco, if you're farther north.

[jclewter79]

Yes I am further north so maybe that would be a good on to check out, I live in between Sherman and Gainesville but work in the Dallas area so I get many chances to travel around lookin for a deal.

[reibeatall]

I assume that you take I-35? Frisco's kinda out of the way, then. I guess you could always take Preston to 380 and then 380 over towards Denton.

[HaLLuZiNaTiOnZ]

Theres a store called Game Master across from a Wal-Mart on 66. It sells old era games like NES, SNES, PS1, etc. I bought FFIX for $25 there.

[jclewter79]

Welll, usually I take 35 but, I am in construction so, I go which ever way is closest to the job, my house is actually about 5 miles from FM 289 which is Preston up this far north.

I can't find it in the store directory (http://www.outletsathillsboro.com/go/dirListing.cfm?CurrCat=237). it might have closed or something. I went there once, they had some complete snes games for like $100+.

Oh, that's too bad. I got some good games there at good prices (not complete though). I think I got Faxanadu, Zoda's Revenge (Star Tropics 2), Ducktales, and Actraiser. And the guy also gave me a bunch of extra black NES game sleeves for my games at home.

[neudog]

For all you DFW CAG's I was at the Best Buy off 635 by The Dump(Furniture Store) and came across a decent deal. The store had 25% off certain 360/Wii/PS3 titles (50% off Xbox), but if you bought any game accessory you got one of the 25% off games for $10. Now there is no sign posted with this deal I was told by an employee and it was confirmed by another employee who works specifically in Video Games section. My wife said she saw the actual print out that had either 25% off or $10 w/ accessory purchase. The girl that worked in video games walked me around pointing out clearance accessories, which was shocking because most employees would push controllers or high dollar accessories. Any ways here is what I scored:

Wii Power Save 512 MB SD Card - $8.49 + Kane & Lynch - $10
WiiMote NFL Controller Skins Accessory Pack - $8.49 + Turning Point - $10

These are a few of the other titles:

- Fifa Street 3 (360)
- NFL Tour (360)
- Simpsons (Wii Version/360)
- Folklore (PS3)
- Nascar 08 (360)

and a few others

Also if you want to score just the games you can return the accessories to another store or later at the same location because the promo does not appear on the receipt.

where exactly is this store? I need to go there.It's on 635 and Olympus in Irving.
I went but they only had all the 360 games left, no PS3 for me.


All the GBA games are 50 percent off though, all of them.
I bought two for 9 bucks.

[newguy 87]

Are there any Kmarts left in Dallas. I currently buy clearance games from my local target (Coit and Campbell) to flip at gamestop because they have a few good deals, but the people on the general forum often reference Kmart. So what do yall know?????????????

[banpeikun]

All the Kmarts in Dallas closed. The closest ones are like two hours out. Unless there's a whole rack of great clearance games, it's not worth it ;)

[dallow]

Dang, I wish we still had some. They have the most insane clearance deals.

And their TV ads in DFW are such a tease.

[newguy 87]

well currently I do most of my shopping up at target (campbell @ Coit) but their clearance has been getting worse and worse. Does anyone have any other good spots to check out, for used games too.

[DoubleOThrowed]

does anyone know where i can get blue dragon at in dallas for cheap?????

[banpeikun]

try the clearance threads in the master trade list forum. lots of people found them at target etc when they were clearanced a while back. it'd probably be hard to find them in-store now, but you could probably get it off a cag for a good price.

[spamfree2]

Check your local TRU... I believe it is clearanced there.

[DoubleOThrowed]

thanks, i got it at the TRU by irving mall just incase anyone else is looking for it...

I've never heard of it, where is it exactly?

[toocool17]

I just went by that place today. Its off of preston and alpha. The website is www.entertainmart.net and phone number is 469-364-8760 They seem like a bigger movie trading co, they give cash for like video game systems. I saw they give $200 for 360 premium, and like $300 for 40gb ps3.

[whatup5]

I went there and its a pretty good. Its a great place to find rare games. I found :gc: MGS:TTS for $15 it was the last one they had. Its also a great place for flippers. If you have lots of credit at gamestop like i do, you can buy some of these games for like $35 used (with PS3 coupon and edge) and sell them here for cash. I checked today and that store gives $300 for an unopened Nintendo WII (you gotta have the receipt with it)
$130 for unopened WII FIt (receipt as well)
$60 for Mario Kart Wii
$45 for used MGS4 and Battlefield Bad Company
$40 for used GTA4, COD4, civ revolution,
$60 for used Xbox or $50 with generic controller as i found out:cry:

Just dont sell your games there if you arent gonna use there promos.
They tried to give me $19 for PS3 GTA4. I was like wtf? I just pointed to the big billboard that read GTA4 $40. They have to manually override the price.

[dallow]

Damn, nice job on the MGS TS for GC.

Very jealous. Thanks for the info and recon.

[toocool17]

I went to entertainmart and sold a bunch of games. Here are a few of the values I got. They give near the same value gamestop gives for credit, not including promo's.

halo 3 xbox 360 $17
mario party 4 gc $14
god of war II ps2 $8
rouge ps2 galaxy $14
valkyrie profile 2 ps2 $9
star wars battlefront II $7

[banpeikun]

Interesting that they buy the Wii, Wii Fit, Mario Kart for above retail.

[reibeatall]

I was driving down Preston the other day looking for Tru Gamerz, and I guess they closed down. Maybe I'll check out Entertainmart on my next day off.

[olde_english]

I feel you about the Target situation - I primarily use the store on George Bush in Garland and the clearance is woeful. I would love to find a store that had cheapo budget 360 games to keep me entertained for a couple of weeks.

I've found my best bet for surprising cheapo used finds is to hit half price books up in Richardson, Plano, McKinney and Frisco but only if you like old PC games like Stronghold. Being that I do (I have an old PC), that's fine by me. Lots of flippers hit those places though - I've seen shoppers there with barcode scanners on their PDAs scanning the shelves looking for high value items - so have low expectations and simple tastes, or you'll be disappointed. That way, when you find PS1 FFVII and Chrono Cross mint + complete black label for $4 each (like I did), you'll savour it that much more...

[whatup5]

Wii - $350

That paticular store actually buys the Wii for $320. There should be a piece of yellow paper on the countertops throughout the store that lists the TIV of consoles. The Wii is at the bottom for $250 used and $320 new. Just show them the piece of paper and they should honor the price.

[dallow]

What an awesome store.
Great sign.

I'm from Dallas too actually, but I'm trying to find some place that sells import games. anyone know of any? I know CGX in Stonebriar had a few (like... 5) but they over-price a lot of their stuff and their imports are for older systems. Anyone know of any that would sell PS2 imports or something?

[reibeatall]

So I went to Entertainmart, and they gave my friend and I pretty good chunks of money for the crap we had.
I also managed to get an import copy of Breath of Fire 3 for PSP there, so it worked out for the best.

I've seen copies of FF7 at Half Price several times and it's always been $50 or more. Suikoden II was on sale at the Plano shop on Parker for like $100 or $200 a few months ago. Off the top of my head I'm not sure that I've EVER seen PS1 games as low as $4.

If you actually found those at those prices, that was a once in a lifetime shot at an employee screwing up majorly.

[olde_english]

Just because you don't believe it, doesn't mean it didn't happen.

I've been shopping HPB for games ever since I moved here on 2003, and I always found Plano and Richardson especially rich. Richardson is where I found the two PS1 games as well as a whole bunch of N64 stuff (mario tennis, mario golf, space station silicon valley for $5 a cart. This was maybe two years ago. They still had some expensive games - mint Arc The Lad collection was listed at $100 - but I took the time to chat to the staff in the buy area and simply asked them what new stock they hadn't put out yet. Prices haven't been that awesome in a long time, I think staff got wise to the potential margin on games. I always seem to do all right on game guides however; not stuff that's worth any money, but things I'm super glad to have like Banjo-Tooie with the sticker sheet intact or WCW/NWO Revenge.

These days, all I ever really find is el cheapo PC games but seeing as my PC sucks and I don't have much inclination to drop $60 every time I want to play a game, I'll happily take Civ3 for $6 instead.

[j.elles]

Target is good to go in around Dallas. Plano for me. Since there are so many around here. Whenever I have the time and am driving by I take a look at there clearence games.

Bully for $10 on 360 I got for trade since I want the Wii version or upcoming PC version.

I also got Universe at War for $10. Great game.

I managed to get Tales of the Abyss for $8 one time that I think was really lucky.

I also got Pokemon XD gale of Darkness or something for $7.

For a while now Toys R Us has been a good place but lately their stock has been going down.

The Toys R Us on 75 though has GodFather Blackhand edition for $10 though. I recomend that to everyone here with a Wii. It's the highest rated version of the game for a reason.

Other then that Rumble Roses XX, 99 Nights, Splinter Cell Double Agent for 360 and Wii, and One Piece for Wii that's the Zelda stlye game are all very cheap at that Toys R Us and the one near StoneBriar Mall in Frisco.

Hope that helps somebody.

Hey everyone, I'm going to be in Dallas for a few days and am looking for a nice resaurant to take my wife for our anniversary. She's from Dallas originally but hasn't lived there in about 8 years, so she doesn't know of any places.

The target by me @ campbell and coit has (360)Madden 08 for 7.48 and (360)NBA 2K8 for 15.00 and ALOT of copies, and there was a copy of (PS3)Kane and Lynch for 10 bucks

[newguy 87]

Burnout Paradise is 18.00 dollars at frys this week. I just picked up a copy took me long enough.

[dyeknom]

Entertainmart has quite the epic prices on some of these games. I may have to stop in to unload cod4, l4d and halo 3....

Hell, I only paid 35 for the legendary edition, so I basically get to keep the bonus materials for 5$, well worth it.

[toocool17]

Yea e-mart prices are great, i unloaded a ton of games this last weekend. The only thing is that they require the game box, so you can't trade in disc only games.

[spamfree2]

E-mart is great for trade->cash. I remember trading in a Wii (new w/reciept ) for what I payed plus $80 when I couldn't sell it on CL. Most of their used game prices are way overpriced though. Their guide prices are nice though.

[dyeknom]

Amazing. I really like the store, the selling counter guy was a little obnoxious... but the people selling the DVDs and Games at the counters were great.

I picked up a MGS: TS complete/mint for 14.99, but they also had LoZ: OoT/MQ, Pikmin 2, Fire Emblem: PoR for 19.99 all complete, and a copy of Pikmin 1 for 14.99. Im glad I got to unload my CoD4 and Halo 3. I bought the legendary edition for 34.99 at BBV a while back, and it sold for 30.00 and got to keep the helmet and bonus disk. Also got to get rid of Left 4 Dead that I picked up at the last b2g1 free so 35ish->40. I am definitely going to make this one of my regular stores, since I can buy Alf Season 1 for 17.99 there too :)

Entertainment Mart looks like they give really good deals but their forums are kind of
unprofessional.

They have employees that admit to getting fired from there and coming back to meet people, employees hitting on customers, and employees teaching people how to get a job by flirting with the manager. Then someone said they bought all the Wii's up in one town and sold them off at 100$ markup.

uhh..wtf?

[reibeatall]

Yeah, Entertainmart is full of douchebags, and who I assume is the manager is the biggest one of all.

But, they took my copy of X-Blades for $40, so that's fine with me.

PS3 - Ratchet & Clank Future $15
PS3 - Uncharted $30
PS3 - Resistance $15
PS3 - Ninja Gaiden Sigma $15
PS3 - Lair $10
PS3 - Street Fighter 4 $30 (may be a pricing error - the copies behind the "main" display caseg were full price, but they had about 8 copies in the end display marked at half off. 360 version was marked full price)
PS2 - Metal Gear Trilogy Collection $15 (only saw one copy left)

They also still have $50 PSN gift cards on clearance for $40 (there's another thread out there for this, but thought I would mention here as well since I was listing these games out anyway).

store address is:
1213 E. Trinity Mills Road
Carrollton, TX 75006

Thanks for the heads up. I was thinking about getting a PS3 later this year, so this looks like a good chance to pick up R&C and Uncharted fairly cheap.

Thanks, I was looking for those PSN cards!

Ernie Hudson will be in town promoting the new Ghostbusters game, no details yet on which he will be at... But there is some info on where developers are going to be hanging midnight on launch day.

Lewisville, TX – GameStop #688 (http://web.sa.mapquest.com/gamestop/advantage.adp?recordId=US688&pWidth=465&pHeight=269&user9=3.06&country=US)
The restored Ecto-1 will be on hand, and likely some of the lads from Terminal Reality that worked on the game. Ernie Hudson will be visiting local shops throughout the day Tuesday, but will not be at the Midnight party.

[UPDATE] – Store Location corrected! 40 members of Terminal Reality will be in attendance, as will 20 Ghostbusters from Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and possibly Arizona! Media will be in attendance and GS is working to ship extra copies to the store, so there will hopefully be lots of copies for walk-ins!

[dallow]

That store is just down the street from me, they've been really excited about this event.
The studio, Terminal Reality is actually just a few minutes away too.

Had no idea Ernie Hudson was going, I will be there.
EDIT, Oh wait, won't be at the midnight launch? Weird.
Does Ernie live in Dallas or something?

[dyeknom]

Okay, so I'll probably show up to the release... but I really want to go where I can see the Ecto-1 and E Hudson together again. I've called around and asked, but nobody has a clue where he will be. Is his appearance confirmed anywhere yet?

[banpeikun]

Did anyone go to the Video Games Live performance in Ft Worth?

[dallow]

Damnit, missed it again.
They shouldn't do it on a weekday though.

[MasterSprtn117]

Didn't even know it was happening...

[dallascowboys]

I'm from Dallas, of course. I'm in Flo Mo.

[dallow]

I'm right next door, where lewisville meets carrollton.

[toocool17]

anyone have any luck at target's? I am looking to get an endwar bundle for the headset. The cheapest I have seen is $45.

[banpeikun]

Damnit, missed it again.
They shouldn't do it on a weekday though.I got my seats during the pre-sale when they were 49, 59, and up, but they eventually dropped the price to 25, 30, and up. It was a good deal. I should've posted something here, but I actually didn't expect it to be as good as it was.

Sent you a PM.

Has anyone been able to pick up the Endwar bundle for 22.48 in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area? All the Targets i've checked in are still at the 44.98 pricepoint.

[dallascowboys]

check flo mo super target or grapevine super target near glade.

I got the last copy at the Denton, TX store two days ago.... so, don't try there. (they had two $15 copies of 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand at that time though).

[Cuksis]

Shout out from Seagoville, TX here!

[coppanuva]

Has anybody been by the entertainmart in Plano yet? It's off Central Expressway and PArker. I'm considering going later this week, but am curious if they have a large enough stock yet.

Ya they have a decent amount. Also a heads up they are opening up a store in lewisville soon too.

[dyeknom]

I went to the new one at their grand opening. I really like their layout (buy counter isn't inconveniently in the middle of the store and cramped), but hopefully time will bring them more stuff... because they didn't have a whole lot.

If you didn't know, all DFW Gamestops are running the 50% bonus trade in promo on games. That mean your getting 60% including Edge. I called today to confirm. Don't miss out on this.

Holy crap, why is this going on?

[toocool17]

Holy crap, why is this going on?

They are trying to compete with best buy's trade in program.

[dallow]

How long will this go on for?
Thanks for the heads up all the same.

[coppanuva]

Yeah, I went to the Plano Entertainmart today, it was pretty cool. I got Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance for $6 with original box and manual and Fire Emblem DS for $10. I also got some CDs too. Worth going to. Only sale going on was 3 DVDs for $12 in this box.

[banpeikun]

Whoa, what are some good flip targets for the GS +50% deal?

[Essence07]

Just make a DFW/metroplex thread. I can't stand it when people dumb it down to just "Dallas"

[Essence07]

DFW thread already exists.
"DFW....Fort Worth CAG's"

Dunno about flipping, but Professor Layton (DS) gets $30 for trade-in, which is a ton for a game that old that doesn't have Mario in the title, IMO.

[Santurio]

Just wanted to check in. Has anybody seen any good deals in town?

[NamPaehc]

Anyone know any local console repair places? Looking for a circuit board for my PS3.

You would be better off getting one from ebay.
