Florida Cheap Ass Gamers' Topic

[Bezerker]

Anything good at the Kmart on 54? Im going to the Gamerush accross from there later, but Kmart's most likely closed now (8pm on a sunday night). Im really hoping to find an eyetoy, but i doubt any of them will have any.

K-Mart actually closes at 10 pm, 7 days a week.

I didn't check the K-Mart's in Tampa, no point to since I found what I needed at the last one I checked in Seminole.

I would have liked Kirby, but I don't know my way around Tampa that well to search for something that probably wasn't there.

[Otherguy676]

K-Mart on 54 (I know its late, but for next time), had a number of games, such as Mega Man X8 and Greatest Hits games. Nothing phenomenal, but a decent selection. The Gamerush is worth going to, especially after my unbelievable finds (posted above).

[Roufuss]

If anyone finds any penny guides in the Tampa Bay area at EB / Gamestop, please let me know, I don't have time to visit ANY stores lately.

I'm just looking for Advance Wars: Dual Strike and Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones, I'd be willing to pay for time and effort and all that if anyone can help me.

I also have TWO copies of Mario DDR available... I got them about a month and a half ago, was going to Ebay them, my listing got pulled because of my own stupid mistake and I really don't want to go through the hassle of making a new listing.

Before I take them back to where I got them from (yay for 90 day return policys!) does anyone in the Tampa Bay area want them? They are still going for well over $100 on Ebay, all I'm asking is $60 to cover MSRP, tax, plus a few dollars extra.

Has anyone checked out the two CompUSA's in the area for clearance deals? I don't want to make the 30 minute drive either way for nothing...

[Bezerker]

Havent been to any comp usa's. But a few days before the sale, the one on Hillsborough litterally had 7 video games for each system, unless they were hidding the sale items in the back, i doubt they have anything there. May want to try the Dale Mabry store.

I really want those Resident Evil GC games for $2.98 each.

[mgreig]

Altamonte (Orlando) Comp USA had very little left...several copies of Armed and Dangerous for $10, but that's about it. None of the cheapies were anywhere to be found.

[mm2barry]

Not sure if anyone has posted this, but I went to the Best Buy in Brandon yesterday and picked up Rise of the Kasai for $9.99. I thought it was a good deal. Don't think it's selling that low anywhere else. They had about 5 or 6 copies left.

[Bezerker]

Any good deals at the Dale Mabry Toys R Us? I cant believe that they are closing while the Fowler ave location stays open. I know the Dale Mabry one isnt in the best neighborhood, but its accross from a Walmart, Best Buy, and next to a Home Depot & Super Target. Its not like no one is in the area.

They are going to sell the land for a huge huge huge profit, that's why.

[AngellicLulu]

Yeah there's nothingat the Dale Mabry TRU. There's only FF DoS. They look pretty wiped.
Also both the Dale Mabry CC and Brandon CC have crap.
I didn't find anything today :cry:

[Bezerker]

K, thx. I went to the CC in Citrus Park today, the only "cheap" game they had was Spawn for PS2, only $1.96, i still passed it up, lol.

[mm2barry]

I just saw that there's a tab for CAG Meetups on the main page. is this something that interests anyone? I know that there have been two great sales at TRU and now CC. If everyone of us hits those up and gets extra games, which i do every time, we can schedule a meetup somewhere and trade some of them out. I know we do this through CAG and that would negate the need for a meetup, but i know that i've been in contact with one or two of you fairly often and have talked about doing the Pawn Shop route together.
What do you guys think? Is this a creepy idea? Is it a good idea?
I'm going to hit the CC in my part of town. I've had good luck there, so I'll let everyone know.
I'm currently holding Winning 11 soccer 8, Amplitude, Romance of the Three Kingdoms 9, Doom 3, and Neo Contra.

Kind of interested in that Winning 11 soccer 8, are you getting rid of it?

I'm within striking distance as well in Deltona, but rarely make it past the Avenues mall. I've found a lot of good stuff at the Avenues TRU :)

[Legolas813]

Question for you Orlando/Tampa area CAGs: Do we have any MovieStop locations? I got a gift card for MovieStop for Xmas and I've never even heard of the store, nor do I know where they are located. I tried looking for a website, but couldn't find one. Any help would be appreciated.

[Troopa]

I live in the Orlando area. I've never even heard of a MovieStop.

[Legolas813]

Ok, I did a forum search and it seems there are two MovieStops in Orlando, though I don't know where. There is also one in Citrus Park (Westfield Shopping Town) in Tampa.

I wish they had a website or something. It's pretty dumb that customers can't even look-up where they are located.

EDIT: According to Yahoo Locals (http://yp.yahoo.com/py/ypMap.py?Pyt=Typ&tuid=27694498&ck=744607002&tab=B2C&tcat=23489119&city=Orlando&state=FL&uzip=32801&country=us&msa=5960&cs=4&ed=S5.K361o2TxdzkVmbWh9T3K4_HqAyOaZd1QuMwVHBYFj&stat=:pos:0:regular:regT:1:fbT:0), there is one on Kirkman, which I don't really feel like driving out to from UCF. I have no idea where the other one is located, if there indeed is another one.

[Troopa]

I'm slightly surprised I never noticed the one on Kirkman.

[kojubat]

Question for you Orlando/Tampa area CAGs: Do we have any MovieStop locations?
There is one near the Seminole Town Center, in the same shopping center as the newish Target.

There is also one that just opened in Kissimmee, right at the Turnpike and Osceola Parkway in the Walmart shopping center.

As far as the one on Kirkman, I have no idea where that is, unless they opened it next to the Gamestop in Metro West at the Walmart. I haven't been that way in a while, so I don't really know. EDIT: Guess I should have clicked the link. Yeah, that has to be where it is.

[lpj8]

There is a MovieStop in Brandon (near tampa). It is off of Lumsden and Lakewood.

[lyric706]

I went to the Dale Mabry TRU yesterday afternoon and picked up an XBOX Live 13-month card for $29.99. They had two still left there. Also, for anyone down in the Bradenton/Sarasota area, the Sarasota TRU had a ton of $9.98 games left plus more 13-month cards. I was hoping for some Marketplace Points, but alas, they are all gone.

[Bezerker]

I went to the Dale Mabry TRU yesterday afternoon and picked up an XBOX Live 13-month card for $29.99.

Sweet, been wanting to pick one up, hopefully it'll still be there in the morning. Did it include the $20 mail in rebate?

[Roufuss]

Has anyone around noticed TRU's restocking on 9.99 games?

Looking for a copy of Psychonauts for ps2, but no luck though...

[lyric706]

Sweet, been wanting to pick one up, hopefully it'll still be there in the morning. Did it include the $20 mail in rebate?

No, the one with the rebate is the 12-month Live Kit that comes with the headset. The Sarasota TRU still had a few of those. I believe they're $42 after the discount.

[mm2barry]

if you, or anyone else, comes across an extra copy of the game, let me know. i've wanted this game for a while as well.

[Roufuss]

Yeah there's nothingat the Dale Mabry TRU. There's only FF DoS. They look pretty wiped.


Did we go to the same TRU that's closing?

Sure, the shelves look empty, but they still have a ton of games back behind the glass case for ps2, xbox, and PSP. Granted, most of them are mainstream games, but there is some stuff worth coming back to for the 30% and 40% offs if they happen.

I managed to find the last copy of Lost in Blue, got it for $23.99, surprised it sat there for this long. Mostly crap for DS / GBA, and the GC section looked a bit cleaned out.

Unless you mean spefically 9.99 games, yea they had nothing left. But regular stock, there are quite a number of things worth keeping an eye on for future drops.

[mm2barry]

I went to the Citrus Park Best Buy today (Tuesday, 24 January). They had over 20 Premium Units in stock. I got mine!!!!! Are you going to get yours?

We had 8 yesterday, I'm suprised they have lasted that long.

[mm2barry]

Does anyone here have a 360? I would like to get a game or two for it, but i'll be damned if i'm going to pay $55 or more for a game that isn't a "must have!" If anyone has any games that they want to trade (specifically PDZ of Kameo or King Kong or Need For Speed) I have a number of games that i'd be willing to part with.
Let me know via PM

YOu should get a Gamepass at Gamerush, $21.99 a month for unlimited rentals (1 out at a time), rent 360 games that way (though you have to use an actual credit card to secure your account if you want to rent 360's).

[soulwish2003]

Aftermarket has sort of died and people are poor... Christmas bills starting to come in...

[Bezerker]

The Gamerush in Wesley Chapel has a core system in for anyone interested. THey said they couldnt hold it though. I didnt bother with the drive.

[lpj8]

I've got a new/sealed premium 360, that I don't need to keep. If anyone in the Tampa area is interested, I'll sell at cost ($427.99) plus $5. EDIT: SOLD

If anyone can find Half Life 2: Raising the Bar at Gamestop (it just got pennied out, will ring up 1 cent) I will gladly reimburse you with a generous extra amount.

I want a job there so bad...looks so easy.

[lyric706]

FYI: If anyone is interested, I saw one 360 Core system at the Game Rush on North Fourth Street in St. Pete.

[mm2barry]

Here's a list of games that I'd like to trade. I have all of the consoles and handhelds, so...
Romance of the Three Kingdoms 9- PS2 (4 copies)
World Soccer Winning Eleven Eight International- XBox
World Tour Soccer- PSP
Super Monkey Ball- GC
Super Monkey Ball 2- GC
Pikmin 2- GC
Neo Contra- PS2
Gladius- PS2
Sly 2: Band of Thieves- PS2
Cold Fear- XBox
Fatal Frame-Xbox
Crimson Skies- XBox


Let me know what you'd be willing to trade for these.
I'm in the Tampa Area, so if any CAG's want to do a face-to-face, I'm up for that.

[Roufuss]

does anyone if the Dale Mabry TRU went to 30 / 50% off yet?

[Hot Like Wasabi]

Any one with a Rhino might wanna check them out. The Rhino's on 3rd street here in Jax had new games on sale (new = not used). Picked up Death by Degrees for $4.90 and NBA Street V3 for $33

Hmm... If I returned $9.99 Death by Degrees to TRU, would I want it for half the price?...

Thanks for the heads up. I'll try to remember this when I go to 2-for-1 for Chibi Robo.

[mm2barry]

I went to the Target on Bearrs and Dale Mabry (in Tampa). they had a huge stack of Meteos for the DS for 14.98 (not sure about the change, but it was $14.??) they have them in the case as well as on the clearance end cap. if you know what that is, you know where to look.
they also had a few closeouts of Rumble Roses, NFL Street 2, Viewtiful Joe 2, Airborne Troops. most were around 10 bucks.
enjoy

I checked the one in Ponte Vedra... it's a no-go.

[Hot Like Wasabi]

The one I work at (Regency) had a couple of copies of Polarium left but that was Tuesday

[Stace]

The St. Johns Town Center Target store in Jax had several Xbox 360s in stock as of this morning. Two or three premium systems and at least one Core system... for anyone who might be looking.

[mm2barry]

Rhino is currently offering a pretty good deal. if you trade in any two games that are valued at $10 or more, you get a $50 game. if you want a 360 game, you pay the difference. not sure if this has been posted or how long it runs, but i took advantage of it yesterday in the form of NfS: Most Wanted and Condemned (both for 360).
i'll be going back today for more!!

[spiderdog]

Phoenix Wright at Coral landings GameStop in Palm Harbor had 3 Phoenix Wrights

That's a Rhino staple, going on for the several years I've known about the store. Especially with GameRush not having deals, Rhino's a good place to trade-in for new games. Now that you know of their wonderful promo deal, I hope you enjoy and take advantage of it.

[mgreig]

Has anyone seen any deals at their GameRush stores? I wonder if Florida will get regional deals like some of the other states are reporting. Given how many GR stores are here I'd be surprised if they didn't do something...

My local store in Orange City is having a $9.99 disc-only special. About 4 large plastic tubs filled with disc-only games for $10 each. Most of the games are crap, but I saw some in there that usually sell for more than $10 used at GR (Custom Robo, RE4 GC, Timesplitters Future Perfect GC, etc)

Anyone else spotted any deals this week at their GR stores?

[Bezerker]

Havent been to my gamerush in a while, waiting for the supposed 2/18 deal to start. Though according to some district managers at GR, there wont be any national deals, it'll just go by location.

[Gamerguy]

Rhino on Southside Blvd (Jacksonville) had a lot of collector's and clearence items. I picked up a copy of Perfect Dark for $6 and the Pelican Retro Gamecube Controller for $3. Collector's wise, they had Chrono Trigger for $50 (yikes!), Mega Man 2 for $10, Mega Man 3 for $10, Final Fantasy for $15, and a few other select NES games. They had a copy of Guitar Hero and at least four Resident Evil Chainsaw controllers regularly priced, but they're hard to come around in Jacksonville at the moment.
I also spotted a used copy of Mega Man X Collection on Gamecube for $24.99.

EB across the street from there will be getting three Xbox 360 Core systems sometime this week. The people who pre-ordered want to wait for the premiums, so they're going on the floor.

[darth007]

I can't believe Xbox 360 pre-orders are still unfulfilled. Anyways has anyone in the Jacksonville area bothered to check out the Sam Goody at the Landing thats going to close down according to that list? I wonder if they have anything good video game related, so I don't waste gas going all the way out to downtown.

I haven't been down there in the past six months or so, but last time I was there, they had almost no gaming section. If I remember correctly, they only had consoles: no games at all!

The tables have turned. They have no systems, bunch of accessories and a hella lotta older games, sans the 360 games. They had NFS MW 360 tempting for ~$42

[GunstarRed]

Anyone in the Tampa Bay area want a ton of old GameInformer, EGM, Nintendo Power, Maxim and Blender magazines from the last year? Totally free for pick-up! They'd be way too heavy to mail so I won't bother.

I have about a year's worth of each I was just going to toss in the recycling bin unless someone wants them. I kind of hate tossing old magazines, but have no more room for them.

Game Force at Regency (Jacksonville) has a copy of Final Fantasy II on SNES for $20! Regularly sells on eBay for $60+. Unfortunately, I bought a Sega Saturn there instead. If anyone in the Jacksonville area knows of a good place to find Saturn games (read: NiGHTs) I'd be very appreciative.

Rhinos use to be a great place to find Saturn games, I actually found two copies of Dragon Force at the 3rd Street location. Though they have since stopped carrying Saturn games.

Have you tried the Game Force on San Pablo and Beach? Not sure if they still carry Saturn games but its worth a call.

[mm2barry]

I went there today and found a few good deals waiting to be taken advantage of. At the EBX, they have a number of .99 game guides on the rack in the back. (of note were Stubbs the Zombie, one of the newer Tony Hawk games, and a few more).
Right next door at Sam Goody, as i'm sure you already know, it's 30% off all games. check it out!!!

I'm a graduate student at USF. I go to both the Tampa and St. Petersburg campuses.

Haven't played the Arena Football game, but see it almost everywhere. Waiting for it to get dirt cheap like all EA Sports games do eventually. I have the old Arena Football game, Kurt Warner's Arena Football Unleashed on PSone though! *lol* Tampa Bay is one of the few markets that has a huge Arena League following thanks to the Storm!

Is there any CAG's in Sarasota?

Wondering if that closing TRU there has any deals to be found.
I stopped there on Saturday. Other than the usual 50 million copies of GBA poker and dance pads, there wasn't much to be found. I did pick up a 360 memory card at 70% off, and there was at least one left. Also a few of the official faceplates. Otherwise, most of the other accessories were the off-brand bundles for each system and travel cases.

Game-wise the percentage is 40% off, but I didn't see much. I picked up a copy of Psychonauts for Xbox, and there were a few other copies. The selection was fairly limited, but not completely picked over. I didn't see anything else that made me say "wow, I better get that!"

[Roufuss]

If anyone is interested -

The Sears in Saint Petersburg, FL has alot of the clearance titles listed in the thread. No Suffering: Ties That Bind, no DQ 8, I bought the last Castlevania: Curse of Darkness for ps2.

2 x Warioware Twisted
2 x The Warriors (xbox)
2 x Virtua Tennis for PSP (9.97 is a steal for this game)
4 x Castlevania: Curse of Darkness for Xbox
5 or 6 x Ninja Gaiden Black

And a whole mess of other games, minus the ones I listed up above.

If anyone is looking for some Gamer Gift Cards at Best Buy (the ones with the $5 off coupon) the Best Buy on Dale Mabry in Tampa has STACKS of them... I counted at least 200 of them, easy, right were the budget PC games are.

The best part is, they let you put 1 cent on each one... I grabbed 4 of them, paid 4 cents, and now have some spare GGC's.

Just make sure to grab the BLUE ones, those are good until 2007, they have a ton of the green ones which are expired.

I'm a graduate student at USF. I go to both the Tampa and St. Petersburg campuses.

Haven't played the Arena Football game, but see it almost everywhere. Waiting for it to get dirt cheap like all EA Sports games do eventually. I have the old Arena Football game, Kurt Warner's Arena Football Unleashed on PSone though! *lol* Tampa Bay is one of the few markets that has a huge Arena League following thanks to the Storm!

I work at EA Tiburon, we tested that game. It's pretty fun, but I get it for like $20. I get every game for $20 or less... Every EA game that is. And I get to play games that aren't gonna be out for a looong time (Superman 8-)) but shhhh

[mm2barry]

i finally picked up arena football and i can say that it's not for everyone. as far as an arcade-y football game, i GUESS it's fun. just about every pass you throw is a touchdown. that got old during the first game i played. i just don't really like that you can't have an effective run game.
i'm going to trade it in and give Blitz: The League a try. have heard mixed results about that one.
tell me, should i get that or stick to madden?
sure wish the 2K was still around!!

I helped someone get a job at Tiburon, it wasn't you was it?

I got a question about that. I know about the employee game store like you mentioned, but is there a limit to how many games you can buy? I could see myself buying 10 copies and selling them on eBay for $35-$40 as a little side business to make up for them only paying $7/hour at the start. :D

Just out of curiosity, does anyone here know of a place where I could get some soldering work done? Or maybe one of the members in the Orlando area who knows how to solder would do something for me? I would definitely appreciate any info.

Jacksonville CAGs: Just went to go pick up my MGS Saga Vol. 1 DVD from Gamestop at Regency, and they have one left for anyone who wants to walk-in and pre-order Subsistance. They also still have some Limited Editions available for pre-order.

FYE at the other end of the mall has a bunch of cards for the GBA e-Reader marked down to $0.01 a piece. I picked up all the games in the e-Reader collection for less than a quarter.

[Gamerguy]

Sorry to double post, but if anyone in the Jacksonville area sees a copy of Phoenix Wright, please do share! It looks like there really was a restock this week.

[darth007]

Did any of you get MGS3 Subsistence LE? The Gamestop I preordered at received only my copy. I have also yet to see Phoenix Wright in stores dude. I'll probably check a few Wal Marts tomorrow since I doubt EB and Gamestop will carry it again.

Yep, I scored a copy... called every EB / GS in Saint Petersburg until I found one, this was at 11 am.

I know for a fact every EB here got one extra, along with the GS's.

I also scored one in Tampa, had to call around a ton, but someone finally had an extra. Good luck!

Has anyone checked out any of the CompUSA's in the Tampa / Clearwater area for any of the 12.88 game deals?

I'd go myself but it's an hour round trip, and not worth it if they don't have shit.

[DrWily008]

RHINO GAMES** (Jacksonville-on southside blvd.): Great staff, alot of games and systems in stock.

RHINO GAMES** (3rd street in Jax Beach): Staff very friendly, they keep lots of desireable RPG's in stock for all systems (nintendo to XBOX).

RHINO GAMES** (on Atlantic Blvd): A little more pushy staff, but they try to be helpful...as best they can, none of them seem to be into games.

**A note about all of the RHINO GAMES in the Jacksonville area: All of them have a deal that has been going on for over a year (BUY 2 Classic titles GET 1 FREE). This is for Nintendo, Genesis, SNES, N64, Dreamcast and Playstation.


Gameforce (by the Regency Mall in Jacksonville): Very smart & friendly staff with TONS of movies, classic games, new games, and quite a bit of used PC games. Great prices too! Owned independantly by a husband and wife, usually ran by one of their two sons.

Those Were the Games! (Located in the Pecan Park Flea Market): Very good prices on old school games, movies (DVD & VHS), new games, and all systems. Owned and operated by the Wood family and ocassionally by ME!

If any one still has an NGage, my Target (Regency) has a copy of SonicN for like $7.48 on the clearance back endcap in Elec.

[Roufuss]

I finally went to a Rhino here... they were extremely overpriced on most of their items. Well, they had good PS One deals, espically with buy 2 get 1 free, but almost all of it was scratched up disc only junk.

Good deal on used strategy guides though, $1.99 for any of them, I got a used Arc the Lad End of Darkness guide for cheap.

Its not worth it... trust me, if there was anything decent at all at $1.99 I would have snatched up every single one of them :p

A friend of mine loved the store, I thought it was overpriced and not really worth the trip. The only worthwhile guide for me was Arc The Lad: End of Darkness.

From memory, they had Tony Hawk's American Wasteland, Rainbow Six 3 Lockdown, some sports guides, a Spyro guide... really nothing you'd want to make the 30 - 45 minute drive for.

Found some decent deals on some games at the Clearwater CompUSA...

Darkwatch - $9.98
Area 51 - $9.98
Splinter Cell - 98 cents

All for PS2. Lots of other deals, like Silent Hill 4 for $9.98, Incredible Hulk (ps2) for $19.98... might be worth taking a look. Sorry, I grabbed the last copy of everything I listed.

I might head over to the Tampa location to see if they have any decent deals as well.

[RelentlessRolento]

just a minor heads up: the TRU by dadeland has alot of decent PS2 accessories for 90% off. I'm almost absolutly sure there was the 3D Surround sound system, marked green at $80, but should ring up at $8. Also some starter packs are dirt cheap. they price from $0.98 to $4.99... the $4.99 once comes with a multitap which may be worth getting.

Circuit City Waterford Lakes has a few Xbox games under $10:

Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow
Tony Hawk: Underground
One of the Midway Arcade Treasures
Hitman 2
Others I can't remember

Damn, those are some good deals for Blockbuster. The one at Beach / University had Halo 2 new for $10 last time I was there, but that's about it...I don't usually go to Blockbuster anymore ($9 for a rental is just a ripoff) but I might have to look around this weekend.

Does anyone know if the K-Mart / Sears conversions are going on in this area?

[Hot Like Wasabi]

The only Kmarts I know of in the area is on Atlantic (the beaches area) and University/Beach. The Atlantic one isn't changing.

I stopped by the K-Mart at Beach/University yesterday...they don't have anything too good, but there were a few lower-than-usual prices:
Final Fantasy X-2: $16.99
Mega Man Anniversary Collection (PS2): $16.99
Not that great, but I didn't expect much either.
There's a shelf for each console marked "CLEARANCE" with a bunch of games just thrown on top of each other. Because the shelves are locked, you have to ask someone to open it, and they have to stand there while you look through everything. I wasn't motivated enough to look for long. Xx;;

Actually Final Fantasy X-2 has been $14.99 in some places for months now. But hey, this is K-Mart we're talking about. If mine was still in business I'm sure they'd have Wave Race Blue Storm for $50.

[XxFuRy2Xx]

Oh yeah, I was at the Blockbuster located on Alafaya and they had 2 360 cores. They had a sign on the door advertising it. Maybe one of you who wants a 360 should check it out.

[Gamerguy]

Gamestop at Regency (Jax) had a few used copies of Metroid Prime Hunters @ $24.99. Not a bad price considering it's not even a month old yet and the MSRP is $10 more.

Sears at the same mall has all their clearence games in a bargin bin, plus a bunch of EyeToy bundles for $24.99. The games in the bin were priced from $4.99 to $19.99. I didn't see anything too exciting (lots of Greatest, Hits titles, etc), but there were quite a few DS games. Sprung is $9.99 (currently $1.99 at Best Buy), Feel the Magic XY/XX is $14.99 (although it's still $10 on Amazon), and Meteos is $19.99. Aside from that, not much out of the ordinary.

[Hot Like Wasabi]

Walmart @ San Pablo and Beach has the following:

PS2 Multitap $7
Logitech PS2 USB headset $5
PS2 Network Adpater $20
Logitech Playgear Pocket $17

[Gamerguy]

EB on Southside has a few used PC games on clearence. I got Call of Duty for $5.99 and Battlefield 1942 for $3.99. Unfortunately, I just realized that they gave me a second copy of Call of Duty in the Battlefield 1942 case, along with the Battlefield expansion pack, which doesn't do me any good without the original game. Sigh...

Anyways, there should be another copy of Call of Duty and Battlefiled Vietnam still there. Prices aren't as marked. I also saw The Punisher, The Sims Deluxe, and "meh" stuff like Project Snowblind.

Best Buy doesn't have as many copies of the games, so don't try to pricematch there.

I also went to the Super Wal*Mart on Beach (closer to University) and tried to pricematch there, but they didn't have much. They did, however, have a copy of We Love Katamari for $14.99 on the back isle of their games section. Good luck to anyone else trying to hit this sale!

I just got back from the CC on Atlantic near Southside Blvd (Jax). They had a number of copies of Ultimate Spiderman and Castlevania:COD for $8.92.
Get them while they last!!!

[Hot Like Wasabi]

I hit up both CC's on this side of town (atlantic and southside). Atlantic had very little marked but I did pick up Metroid Pinball and Tales of Phantasia. The Southside had a better selection with multiple copies of Monster Hunter, Castlevania COD, Ultimate Spidey, Def Jam NY, Gun, and a few others.

[Gamerguy]

I'll head over to both the Circuit City's tomorrow morning. Thanks, guys. I'm hoping to grab an EyeToy...we'll see.

[sying]

I might venture to OP (may the CAG-gods help me) CC and see whats up there. IF anyoneone needs anything please post here and I will get it if its availiable before the FW/BS people rape it. I probally will be going around 2PM tomorrow, post before then for CAG help.

[Gamerguy]

I hit the Circuit City's on Atlantic and Southside, and I'll confirm that the Southside one is definately the better. I got all the following at the $8.96 clearence price:

From Atlantic/Regency:
-Indigo Prophecy (PS2, marked $19.99)

From Southside/Avenues:
-Metroid Prime Pinball (DS, marked $32.99)
-Splinter Cell Chaos Theory (PS2)
-Super Monkey Ball Deluxe (PS2)
-Ultimate Spiderman (PS2)

The Southside one has plenty of copies of each left. There were two or three Xenosaga Ep. II, one Ghost Recon II (PS2), one or two copies of Tales of Phantasia, and a copy of Turok Evolution on Gamecube for anyone who wants to give a gift to someone they hate.

The Regency/Atlantic one had tons of copies of Second Sight for PS2 marked down to $7.99. Sort of obscure...

[Hot Like Wasabi]

Hit the Atlantic CC again today after work, picked up Castlevania and The Warriors and brought it to Rhinos where they qualified for the trade two get 1 for $1. After it was all done with, I came home with Table Tennis for 360.

[ElfAngel7]

hey guys, big news down in Miami.

The CC in Kendall by Dadeland is lacking, however the CC past International Mall (87th Ave. and N.W. 13th St.) has nearly all the games listed on the sale as of 1:30 PM Friday. Hurry before it gets pillaged.

[WhipSmartBanky]

Actionville CAGs - is it even worth bothering today? With the stories of other locales pulling stock and the seemingly "meh" pickups so far in the area...

[sying]

Was there anything you were wanting in the first place? I could see why its meh as there are a good deal of marinally good games. PM me if you want me to pick up anything

Nah, wasn't really looking for anything in particular...I think it's just the CAGacity pulling at me. Thanks, though, I do appreciate that!

[Gamerguy]

I might have to go back to Circuit City later...they added Pac Pix to the $8.96 list, and I saw a copy over there...

I stopped by Gamestop at the Town Center last night on my way out towards the beach. They have a couple bargain bins with games "less than $9.99" for PS2 and Xbox. Lots of crap, but a few good ones too: I got Metal Gear Solid 2 for $3.

[Roufuss]

Does anyone know any good indy / import video game stores in FL? Tampa, Orlando, anything will do, just curious before I place an order through play-asia.

There's a business up here in Jax called "Game Force," but they don't do imports. They sold me a modded PS1 a few years ago, and they still carry a lot of really obscure games. They're the closest I've seen to that sort of thing in Florida...

[Hot Like Wasabi]

Back in the day I know Rhinos (atleast in the OP Mall) use to carry DC imports and what not. We also use to have a Game Cave here which I believe is gone.

I wish more companies would carry imports, I remember back in the day before I even had a Saturn, EB had Radiant Silvergun for an easy $40.

[Stace]

The Rhino stores in Gainesville used to carry imports as well.

You should check out the Tampa location (if you haven't already).

All that Rhino carries is overpriced games :(

[sying]

Stay on your own thread! LOL J/K

How big is the demand for imported games? IS threre really market for imports?

Just wondering.

Orlando has a Huge Anime/Import/Plush store on Colonial, if you are willing to pay for the markup i'd check it out.

[Gamerguy]

Target at the St. John's Towncenter has a clearence rack with some "meh" PC games. I picked up Sonic Adventure DX for $2.49. I don't know how much will be left, but the other stuff I saw was mostly sports games.

[sying]

Anyone check if the Blockbuster sale is going on here , I know gamerush/crazy doesn't want to touch Jacksonville because of our stupid JSO pawn shop rules. I'll be checking my nearest blockbuster today, good luck all.

[Hot Like Wasabi]

I checked my BB yesterday (San Pablo and Beach) didn't see a 75% sale.

[Gamerguy]

Nothing at the BB at Beach / University either.

[sying]

Nothing at St Johns and Atlantic. I swear BB hates Jacksonville

If it's the one I'm thniking of (it's on a a block that is mostly asian merchants), they sell crappy bootleg movies in addition to the legal stuff. I bought a couple of R2 movie DVDs there when I was in Orlando a while back, and when I got them home they turned out to be bootlegs with high-quality scanned case inserts. They didn't work, of course. :bomb:

[sying]

I think there's a import store really close to you

Target @ Regency had two copies of Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Lockdown for Xbox for $4.98 when I left today.

[Gamerguy]

CompUSA at Regency has a few games in the "Manager's Special" deal at pretty good prices. Mostly PS2 stuff.
$9.99
- Splinter Cell Chaos Theory
- Killer7
- Mafia
- The Getaway
- 007: Everything or Nothing

I also remember seeing Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones on Gamecube for $24.99.

Circuit City on Southside has added a bunch of stuff to their bargain bins. Most of it just more copies from what they already had, but now there are a bunch of GBA games in a second bin.

[sying]

Rhino's has a couple of marginal games and accessories on clearance. I saw a component PS2 cable for $11.90

[Hot Like Wasabi]

Just got back from CC @ Regency...

There is about a half bin of GBA games (nothing that caught my eye). The DS games that they had left were crap. The had plenty of PS2 and Xbox games (Hulk, Gun, NBA 2K6, Castlevania, Warriors, etc) and just a few PSP games (5 copies of Exit, NBA Street, and a couple more).

I picked up Gun for Xbox and I'm going to hit up Rhinos later since I have some credit and check out the clearance sying mentioned.

[rufio2004nfg]

Hey guys, I'm visiting Jacksonville for the summer and was wondering if anyone knows where I could find a decent selection of dreamcast games. All I can think of right now is Rhino and EBGames/Gamestop.

[sying]

If you are looking for specific DC games I suggest calling up the individual rhino's up for ther dc selection. its kinda hit or miss with them. Southside has a decent selection. In terms of EB/GS good luck, I hear that they were sending them to HQ to be scrapped.

Welcome to Jacksonville, prepare to be bored!!!

Welcome to Jacksonville, prepare to be bored!!!

I'm actually making a list of games to look for. And I don't feel like asking for all of them over the phone so I'll look in-store. Thanks for your help.

And I'm looking for old dreamcast games to play... I'm already bored!

[Hot Like Wasabi]

Rhino's is your best bet, not sure if GameForce still sells DC games (even if they do, I am sure it is a crap selection).

Anything in paticular you were looking for? I usually stop by the Rhinos on 3rd St. once a week and take a gander at the DC games.

[sying]

Game Force Regency = out of buisiness for the moment. They are relocating. They got ok Dreamcast games for 10.00 each. Let me know and I'll talk to the owner.

Shit...I told my sister-in-law to go up there yesterday to get a disc resurfaced for her son. Where else can I send her locally?

There is another Gameforce at San Pablo and Beach.

I think one of the game places at the flea market on Beach also does resurfacing.

Let me tell you about an experience of mine though... Not to long ago I bought two DC games but I could not get it work (even tried playing them on a different DC). So I had heard about boiling games that don't work that have scratches. So I boiled one of them for 25 seconds, dried it off and sure enough it worked. Tried the same thing with the second game and it worked again. Haven't tried it on games for other systems but it does do the trick for DC games.

So if you have like demo disc that doesn't work, it is worth giving it a shot just to try it out.

Damn! That was one of my favorite places to get retro stuff. I just bought a Sega Saturn from them a couple months ago...

[Hot Like Wasabi]

There is a cage of $9 and $14 games at Walmart (beach and San Pablo). Nothing to great, mostly games that are normally $20 (Soul Calibur II, Red Dead Revolver, plenty of sports games, etc). I did pick up FIFA Street 2 though for $9.

Edit: Left work today and we had three copies of Taiko Drum Master in the back (Target Regency) for $9.99 Give the following number to any one around to get it out of the back. 207 12 1080

[Hot Like Wasabi]

Has any one attempted to find anything at CompUSA?

[WhipSmartBanky]

No, but the Toys R Us at Phillips had a decent selection of the "new" clearance games. Several copies each of Doom 3 Collector's Edition ($10, Xbox), Psychonauts ($15, Xbox), Baiten Kaitos w/ Soundtrack ($15, GameCube), etc.

[RelentlessRolento]

no offense to anyone, but someone really needs to start a "South Florida" thread since northern and southern florida are almsot two different worlds... if anyone understands what I mean.

[Gamerguy]

Should we start a Jacksonville thread? It seems like that's what this topic turned into after the Tampa people left, anyways...

[mm2barry]

if you know how to do that, i'd be in for a Jax thread.
Also, has anyone checked out the Rhino clearance sale that they've got going on? let me know if it's any good.
Also, i have axis and allies classic and axis and allies: european if anyone is interested. i tried selling it on Craigslist, but it was a pain in the butt. if anyone is interested, let me know.

[Legolas813]

South Tampa Circuit City - Beyond Good and Evil (PC) for $2.96

Damn straight.... we pretty much have nothing in common with your Northerners... or just get out of our thread ;)

But yeah, whoever wants to do it, definitely should.... I would do it but um, I have things to do...
