Wilkes-Barre Pa...again, oddly enough.

The Videogame Store off the square does occasionally have some pretty good deals. You could haggle with the owner, Steve, a bit too. The flea markets are an ok source of good games as well, with the market on Sixth Street being the former king. Though I haven't checked back in about a year and a half.


Any of you guy remember the store "Recycled Fun" in Edwardsville?

It closed about two years ago after a about a year of buisness.

My dad's failed attempt at getting into the videogame buisness....but good times were had by all while it was open.

Hey guys, I live in the Hazleton area (between hazleton and wilkes barre), but I am 30 minutes from Wilkes Barre. Anyway I am looking for a gamestore to get some good deals. I am looking for something with more newish games, but I don't want to travel to Wilkes Barre unless I can confirm a good deal. I know the one in downtown Wilkes Barre is good, but do they have new games?

All of my Wal Marts never mark down crap, and every other store doesn't mark down shit in Hazleton.

hazleton has a ton of stores man. gamecrazy, gamestop, eb games, kmart, sears, walmart, boscovs electronics section, and blockbuster.

wilkes barre even has more, like almost every major retailer, but hazleton has more then enough for me. cant rememeber the last time i couldnt find a new game in stock somewhere

I'm in Sunbury.

I usually hit up yard sales/thrift stores and the GS/fye at the mall.

There's a badass little video game store in Shamokin (not Shamokin Dam). Not sure of the street name, as I don't drive, but it's on the same street as their little Salvation Army. I think it's still open, I was only in there once, though, and it was like two years ago. I got Earthworm Jim for the SNES for $5. His prices are reasonable for a specialty shop and usually cheaper than online.

The Lewisburg flea market has some gaming setups too, with decent prices. I got Revolution X (Genesis) in the case from the "major" video game seller for $3 and then Perfect Dark for the 64 for $5 from someone selling just a few games and other stuff.

There's another flea market, I think the one in Paxinos, that has a video game shop setup too. Prices aren't that great, but I didn't haggle. I just got Joe & Mac for the SNES for $7.

I think he is talking about the Got Game? That used to be on South Street. I was surprised to see it closed too. And I think you are talking about Showcase Comics, which is still open. They used to be right next to each other until Showcase sized down and rent its other half out. I think my favorite store on South Street was Quakers Head, if any of you guys remember it.

Hit them up last week, most of the good stuff is gone. I'm still kicking myself for passing on 24 Season 7 on Blu. It was like $15/used after discount.

The Suncoast in the Gallery in Philly is also closing. I haven't been there so I am not sure what they have left.

[perdition(troy]

Completely not gaming related, but has anyone seen any cherokee red (soda) as of late?

[Maklershed]

I for the life of me can't remember what Suncoasts used to be called but we had one here in Harrisburg and it was the best store ever .. this was back in the days before Best Buy and Circuit City got big. I remember it being like a field trip going to that store and checking out all the cds, books, and VHS tapes (:lol:). And the best part is that it was all pretty cheap. There was barely a cd that cost more than $10 or so (keeping in mind this is when cds were about $17) and then Musicland bought them out and converted them all to Suncoasts and its been downhill ever since. It amazes me FYE and Waldenbooks stay in business.

@perdition - yeah there's a store in Gratz that has it.

EDIT: It was Media Play!

Every Waldenbooks around me is either closing or is closed. FYE's around here are still in business because FYE's are the only place to get a decent selection of movies and cd's right inside most malls here.

Aside from the occasional gem at the Exchange or cd warehouse, deals are scarce around here.

[Salamando3000]

Yeah, the Exchange and CD Warehouse are the only real regional things I can think of. Not to downplay them, as they're my place of choice for used games.

All the other deals I usually snag are from pretty well known sources...Target's Clearance...Half Price Books and Big Lots pc games

[sp00ge]

If anyone is looking for rockband 1 drums :360:, the kmart in Edgewood has four or so for 6.99. I almost picked up a few but really have no use for them, aside maybe replacement sensors for my wireless set.

Yup, those are the usual places I hit weekly. Glad to see some competition out there, lol.

[morinphen]

Can't wait for the Target Clearance stuff to start dropping in price. Hoping I can score Demon's Souls in a few weeks for a very decent price. Still debating on whether or not to pull the trigger on SmackDown vs. Raw 2008 for $7.48...

Anyone hear snow total predictions for this Saturday around the Harrisburg/Reading area?

Sometimes the best deals are on Craigslist. Picked up a Dreamcast sports edition with 47 games for $25 from a guy in NewStanton.

Every now and then you can catch when TRU does their markdowns and get in on some pretty decent deals.

[enemyofusall]

Yeah dvds were like 9.99 which was awesome, games were alright, but you could get most of the same for cheaper at Kmart (like Heavy Rain GoW3), or a store like amazon. Also if you haven't checked out the place called Buy Back, it's in the Marshalls Plaza in Greensburg, they have some nice prices on games, and have older systems/games as well.

Yeah, the kid looked at it and said they couldn't do both of them. I'm guessing a memo came down from corporate because I stopped at the Monroeville BB after and got the exact same thing.

Oh well, a $10 copy of Blur would have been nice to add to the collection.

[enemyofusall]

damn sorry to hear that. Yeah I had a girl that checks us out all the time, can't remember her name at the moment. Needless to say I would have been pissed had I spent $60, probably even $40 for this. It's good, but no that good.

Unfortunately that hasn't proven to be true for WalMart and they're the biggest retail chain in the world. There's a WalMart for every 10 miles or so around by me.:roll: They're even building another new one closer to my house(literally like maybe a mile away at most:roll:).

But with that project they seem to keep delaying and delaying it, but it's a whole shopping center including another Gamestop, Dollar Tree and a bunch of other stores.

Ugh, they just opened a super walmart near me, which would be fine but to do so they moved it from further down the street, so there is the shell of an old walmart just sitting empty. i hate when businesses do that.
Tell me about it. In this area there's at least one empty former WalMart store and once the newer one a bit down the line opens up this other one that was just a normal WM they converted to a 24/7 store will be sitting idle as well.

[sp00ge]

Surprisingly, the two nearest Walmarts to my new house are 5-10 miles away, while I have a Target (and what seems to be the last non-closing BBV in the area) practically in my backyard, with another Target near one of the Walmarts.

[Superfluential]

Damn I'm jealous, I have to travel 35 miles just to go to a Walmart (One to the west of me about 40, north or me 35, South of me 40 & about 40 to the east.)

Nearest Gamestop is about just as far.

[enemyofusall]

oonly 1 walmart in my general area, about 6 miles away the next one is ~20 miles away.
But anyway if anyone is near Latrobe and wants Heavenly Sword for cheap, mine rang up at 14 check out the walmart here. Still tons of copies. (I know I posted this before haha)

[mrright4you4now]

If any of you guys are interested the Family Video in Scott Township (1160 Washington Ave. Scott Twp Pa 15106) is having a madden 11 tournament on August 13th starting at 6pm and their giving away a free copy of the game for the 360 to the winner. Also supposed to be some food and drinks for everyone that day as well.

[enemyofusall]

good to know about the Madden tournament. Also if anyone is looking for the Fallout: New Vegas Coasters, the Kmart in Latrobe (on 30) had a couple left after I bought them. You get the coasters for $5 and a $15 coupon prints out with it. Just to note the coupon for $15 is NOT VALID until 10/19 and EXPIRES 10/30.

Philly-Here,---Northern Liberties,

[mrright4you4now]

enemyofusall if you go to the madden tournament let me know I'll be there myself..

[enemyofusall]

I would but I would A) get crushed and B) I am finally moving to a different state haha. Good luck though and let us know how you did.

[mrright4you4now]

Oh I'm horrible at Madden I'm just going to watch and eat the free stuff. Oh I forgot to mention when I posted about that tournament the first time, their giving away a free rental just for playing in the tournament. So even if your like me who will play one person and get destroyed I'm still gonna get a free game rental out of it.

[mrright4you4now]

Update on that madden tournament. I was in the store tonight and the manager said that if theres a bigger turn out then he expects that he actually bought a 360 console to give away as a grand prize. Said it entirely depends on how many people show up as to whether or not he is giving the console away or just returning it. Figured I would throw this up in case anyone was on the fence..

hey mrright...did you win? haha

[mrright4you4now]

No but i did eat a ton of pizza and cake. Did anyone else on here go?

[enemyofusall]

I'd kill for pizza right now...I moved with my fiancee and we don't have cash to waste on pizza (or games) haha :(

[TPerryoo7]

[thegreek]

[thegreek]

West Chester, pa Holla!

Dub C FTW!!! Me too!!

[sp00ge]

We're heading to Kennywood on Labor Day, anyone else planning on going?

[enemyofusall]

I wish! I will be making my trip back to Va (just moved there) although before that I am going to be running around the area in hopes of yard sales :) Only one I found recently was one where a dude was trying to sell a badly yellowed snes for 50 bucks haha.

[creatureofwar]

Ebensburg, PA here. Right outside of Johnstown. I'm smack dab in the middle of Pittsburgh and State College. Lived in Pittsburgh for five years while attending school.

[titanzguard]

Wow... I see a lot of CAG near me(Im in Irwin)... Anyone finding any good deals lately?

[sp00ge]

Damn. What part of Irwin? As far deals go, not really. Target in burg has a few clearance games.

[titanzguard]

I actually live in Manor... no one knows of it so I say Irwin since its the closest city. I hit that Target all the time. What am I talking about... I hit all the stores within a 45 min radius...lol. I work in Butler so I get to hit all the stores in my area and up there. What about you? You in Export?

I actually just bought a house in Irwin (I just realized I never updated my location), in the neighborhood right behind Target. You must be my "competition" :D

[titanzguard]

We have probably been in Target before looking at the same clearance section. I would gladly exchange contact info with you if you'd like me to keep you informed of what I find. I used to have a guy that we would hit different locations and pick things up for one another. PM me if interested.

[artrus]

Philly here! Also make frequent trips to fredricksburg and richmond, va.

would like to meet someone who lives in philly too so we can split up the area hunting the clearance. I have a path i follow on weekends, but its killing me on gas (drive a jeep :-#) so would like to split up a bit!

[holyground]

Hey all, not sure where to post this, so I figured here is a good start.

I'm looking for local video game stores around the pittsburgh area. Not gamestops or best buys. Do you know any within like a 50 mile radius of Pittsburgh?

[Salamando3000]

The Exchange usually comes highly recommended. It's a series of used media (cd/dvd/games) stores with a number of locations in Western PA. Has games for consoles going back to the NES, usually with the consoles themselves as well. Used to be quite a nice place for grabbing rare games on the cheap, but eBay and such has helped normalize prices somewhat. Still, a nice place to use to price compare against other sites and/or find random Collector Editions.

I've heard of the exchange also. not sure if it's "video game exchange" or "the exchange" but i know some friends have been there and like it.

"Video Game Exchange" was a older chain of stores in the area they all closed down around 2001 if I remember right. "The Exchange" opened in the area around 1996-97 and started out as "The Record Exhange".

[Hoffy]

I'm right outside Philadelphia, in Delaware County. Yes, the Springfield Target(s) sucks!

[thegreek]

Yep.

[nativetongue88]

Philly here. Roxborough/Andorra area to be exact. New to the area and looking to meet some cool people.

[drjones83]

Northeast philly here! any one know any stores selling retro games in the area?

[killias2]

Also Pittsburgh
The Exchange is not the Video Game Exchange, which was AWESOME. God, in retrospect, it was a lot cooler place than I think I even realized at the time. They had tons of games for every classic system, and you could try the game before you bought it. That's right.. you could try any game they had from any system they had for a short period of time. BADASS

The Exchange is still fine though. It's about the only place you'll find NES/Genesis/SNES/Playstation/N64 games. Don't expect fantastic collections of any, but they have a few cool games there. As said above, I think Ebay and such have really changed the classic game market.

[bush17]

Knox, PA here. wish there was a place to buy older games around here

[Blues]

I live in Altoona, moved up here just over a month ago.

[enemyofusall]

I live near Clarion, PA.


I graduated from Clarion last year :) haha

[kingsnuff]

Philadelphia area jenkintown specifically anyone nearby pm me always looking for deals trades or kicking ass online

[NHDrumline17]

I'm from the Pittsburgh area as well, and I also put all my recommendation in for the Exchange. I get most of my games from there, and their blu ray deals are insane if you're looking for good movies!

[NHDrumline17]

I am also an electronics team member at one of the Targets in the Pittsburgh area, and I wouldn't mind letting you guys know the deals at my store.

FYI, we have the PSPgo currently going for $74.99 on clearance. PM me to find out which store in particular.

[St4rgalaqtic]

Pittsburgh here, the 2 exchanges downtown and on the southside keep me happy. There is also a cash and culture in C3 mall. a bit pricey but they have some rare games

[sp00ge]

Is anyone in the Pittsburgh area going to Dropkick Murphys Shamrock-n-Roll festival on monday? I need a favor.

[haywire69]

Philly here,Port Richmond-lots of stores around here but,the clearance lately has sucked.

[The Mana Knight]

Since I had a funeral to go to in Eire, PA. I traveled through PA a little checking stores in Erie, PA and some around Pittsburgh, PA.

I actually saw some pretty good stuff on clearance at the Best Buy in Cranberry (north of Pittsburgh), such as Fist of the North Star for $20. Saw stuff I didn't see at any of my Best Buy stores around MD.

I picked up a few FF posters and LBP keychain at Joy's Japanamination in Greensburg, PA.

While in Erie, PA, I snagged Persona 3 CE (PS2) for $20 new at Sears (Millcreek Mall store). I also saw Dead or Alive 4 for $5 there, but I didn't grab it since it was Platinum Hits. The Sears wasn't too bad in clearance games. I didn't see anything at Target on clearance I wanted.

Joy's has some pretty cool stuff. I finally stopped in there for the first time a few weeks back, even though I've lived in this area for a few years.

I finally stopped in there for the first time a few weeks back, even though I've lived in this area for a few years.Funny because your area is where I got a little lost on getting back on the toll road (I thought a sign would say I-76 from US 30, but wasn't even present, haha). Keep in mind I didn't know it until I saw your post just now.

I found out about Joy's less than a year ago. I told myself I'd go there if I'm around the area. Since I was traveling to Erie, PA, I remember it might be on my way. I brought up the map on my phone and realized it was on my way. They had great soundtracks which I wish I bought, like Lost Odyssey.

Yeah, I live right by the turnpike, behind the Target. Speaking of, I hope you didn't waste your time checking this Target. Very rarely is there anything good, and I'm there a few days a week for one thing or another.
