I am pretty sure it was on 465.

Yup, here is the link.

Not game related, but damn that was an epic explosion near you Rictor.

Yah, I work in an office on 82nd right by that bridge. Thought we were being hit by a mild earthquake again, as the whole building shook pretty hard. Glad they finally reopened 465...I have a long commute from the west side.

[erehwon]

I noticed in Georgetown that some kind of arcade is going in. It's where the rustic hutch used to be. They got games in there, but it doesn't look like it is open yet.

New Dave and busters mini... yeah right...

[Rictor]

Heh...my significant other just bought her mom two crock pots for Christmas with some of our Dave & Busters tickets. Still have 34,000 left. Not sure what I'm saving up for...nothing much I want there at the moment.

Does anyone near Ft. Wayne need a giant subwoofer? I have a Samson Resolv120a 10" 120watt powered studio sub that I need to trade. We rearranged the living room and it's just too big. It's about 2' x 2'. I'd swap it for gaming stuff. It's makes a good home theater sub. PM me if you're interested.

In other news did you see that both Jefferson Point and Glenbrook got new arcade/redemption game stores near the food courts. I wonder if it's just for the holidays or if they'll stick around. They're nothing fancy, but it is cool to see an arcade around.

real stores or just the machines sitting in the middle of the isles ..... I still have 25,000 tickets from that one arcade place that closed down years ago ... used to play there every saturday with my grandmother back from like 89 to 93....Used to win tons of stuff animals out of the machines (back then it was 25 cents per play)

I still remember walking out with like 20 to 30 animals ever saturday... and sometimes we would get lucky and they would fill them right there and we could just knock out the animlas with the claw insted of even trying to pick them up[

i miss those times

[arbiter]

They're smallish stores. The one at Glenbook is across from Turn One. I haven't seen it yet. The other is a Jefferson Point in the food court where Panchero's used to be. That one has a few coin rides, a few redemption games, and usually a couple of race games, a gun game, and that sort of thing.

[erehwon]

Has anyone heard if Discount Comic Book Service is having a Black Friday deal this year? I tried calling and I get a message saying the number is disconnected. Unfortunately, their site doesn't say anything about in store deals.

[Rictor]

Are you the Skeeball wizard?

Naa...I win them at the game where you flip the balls into dinosaur paws. It pays out more tickets than pretty much any other game in the building.

[arbiter]

Wal-Mart has marked Tony Hawk's Ride down to $88 from $120. Probably trying to get rid of it during Christmas before people start reading all the bad reviews.
I saw this at the Fort Wayne Southtown store, but I'm guessing it's probably the same everywhere.

[JP]

Not a deal, but figured you guys might know the best place to get rid of my Ultimate Marvel Hardcover books. Don't really know what all places in Indianapolis would actually take them.

[jlseal]

I don't know if its a Seymour thing, but Wal-Mart had the Drums for Rock Band for $9.99. Surprised me.

[Rictor]

Only place that would take them that I know of is Half Price Books. Doubt they would give much for them as they sell them for half cover price and tend to pay no more than 10% of cover price for stuff that's brand new, let alone older books.

Best deal would be Ebay. Could try Craigs List too...

[slidecage]

not a deal BUT did PUTT PUTT in fort wayne go belly up..

Went past monday morning and noticed they were ripping up the golf course and notice arcade machines for sale on the sign

That's too bad. It's also too bad that I don't have much money and no space. If I had those, I would be tempted to pick up an arcade cabinet.

[Metalic]

Damn Putt Putt going away. Went there alot as a kid.

Pretty sure it was the Fort wayne one too.

[slidecage]

had to go out to the pet shop tonight past putt putt..

Looks like they put up a new fence and did something to one of the courses (pushed it back or something) they are still opened (they must be looking to dump off some of their older video games or something) I havent went in there in years.. i know back in the early 90s it was ran by a family (used to go to school with one of their kids)

dont know if the same family owns it or not

indy cags

few questions

is there a true imax theater in the indy area? When I say true I don't just mean they have a IMAX sign out front I mean the extended and curved screen thats a min of 5 stories tall ?(the were the original requirements of an imax theater, it has since been given far to much duming down and leway...)

If so which is the best one in the area as I plan on being that way shortly and wanted to see avatar in the best possible view.

If not then which is the best sudo imax theater in indy?

Thanks for any and all help you can offer in this area.

There's another IMAX screen, but it's smaller than the museum's and is located on US-31, just north of I-465. It's part of the Kerasotes Theaters.

The Kerasotes one is fairly large, but the State Museum is massive. There is also a new IMAX theater in Nobelsville just off I69. I havent been to see its size.

[Rictor]

I watched Avatar in Noblesville at Hamilton Town Center. The theater is superior the Kerasotes one, but they are both nice. They are the only theater that has Avatar playing in Imax 3D, I believe.

[floormat]

wife wasn't feeling well so never got the chance when i was down there. oh well. Thanks for the info though.

[Tallboy2005]

Hey guys, long time no see haha. Haven't had much money and when I don't have much money I never logged on here because some of the deals would be too tempting lol. :P But I have a request so hopefully you guys can help. I'm looking for region free Xbox 360 games that are online (or local if you know any). I noticed play-asia.com had 2 jap 360 games that were region free but want roughly $72 which is way more than I am hoping to spend. The only 2 games I found were:

http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-br-49-en-70-3j1d.html

and

http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-br-49-en-70-3cq6.html

If anyone could find other region free games, or those 2 for a cheaper price, please let me know. Thanks!! :)

EVERYONE IN fort wayne

Blockbuster on coldwater road is CLOSING ... they are to reopen tomorrow at 1pm with prices on everything ... 10 to 30% off everything in store... really didnt see anything i wanted today till they drop to 50% or more

[Rictor]

They mark the prices up to full retail before they start marking them down, so when the Blockbuster near my house went out, prices actually went up across the board. The store sold out of just about everything around 50% off, which was still more than what most stuff cost BEFORE they raised prices for the liquidation. Liquidators suck.

I went to PAX East in Boston. You should all go next year.

[slidecage]

HEADS UP TO EVERYONE IN FORT WAYNE... Maybe other places

Starting tomorrow APRIL 6... Family video will be renting

ALL NEW RELEASE DVDS for 1.00 for 5 nights


NO word if Video game rental price is coming down...


they said they dont know how long it will last.... if you ask me they are taking a MAJOR HIT

Go in TUesday rent 5 dvds for 5 bucks and keep them till sunday

Normally those 5 dvds would fetch them 90 bucks before and now they are only getting 5...

That is a major lost


SO IF YOU WANT A NEW RELEASE MOVIE you better get there Tomorrow (tuesday) cause most if not ALL movies will be gone till sunday come tuesday night

Super Target in Fishers on 116th and Lantern Road still has a collectors edition of Bioshock 2 for $99.99.

Thanks dude. I'm about 15 min away from that location.

[Sigma]

Anyone on the South side of Indy know of anywhere with a good deal on a PS3 fighting stick?

[SteveMcQ]

Any Indy CAGs able to snag the Kmart deals today? Did it ring up correctly and was there signage?

[robertmto]

anybody in Indiana play Madden or NBA2K10 for money??

[floormat]

anybody in Indiana play Madden or NBA2K10 for money??


you mean like someone would have to pay you to play those? The last good football game I played was either tecmo super bowl, Cyberball or Joe Montana 93. Last good basketball would be arch rivals...


Yes I am trying to be snarky humorous =P

[erehwon]

I don't know if any of you guys noticed, but DCBS moved to a location right by the Dupont License Branch. I hadn't been there in a while, so I didn't know that they had moved from their place off Coldwater.

[arbiter]

Anyone local into arcade stuff? I bought a Street Fighter II cabinet locally a few weeks ago. Looks like there are some decent deals on arcade stuff on ebay and CL locally.

That's something I'd like to get into someday, but sadly lack the funds or the space. I'd like to get a Neo Geo Cab and a pinball machine at least. I saw a Terminator 2 pinball machine I really liked online somewhere, as well as a Dr. Who one.

[arbiter]

You might look into building a mini cabinet or a Super Gun (consolized arcade guts). You can get a NG MVS board on ebay for about $100-150 bucks, then it's just wiring it to controls and a video output.

Of course most NG stuff is getting scarce these days, you could just get a nice arcade controller and use emulators.

Has anyone had any success picking up Blur for $10 from any BB stores?

[John*smom]

Has anyone had any success picking up Blur for $10 from any BB stores?
gpt one at the Merrillville store on Monday

[SteveMcQ]

Picked up a copy in Castleton early this week.

[ObiBen]

thanks for the feedback. I grabbed one at the West Carmel BB. No need for manager interaction, the cashier knew how to ring up both coupons together.

[floormat]

know its been answered but got one in fort wayne apple glen best buy. the cashier wouldn't do it but the service desk said that the best buy reward zone is seperate and had no issues...

[arbiter]

I picked up a Retro Duo (combo NES / SNES system) off Amazon this week, I have to say I'm pretty impressed, will def want to get a few original SNES controllers to replace the ones that came with it, but they are playable, just too light.

I need to beef back up my SNES library, lost a bunch of carts at my parents house, and haven't had a system to play them on, so I never replaced them.

[VA]

The last time I checked. The target on west 38th street has a collector's edition of bioshock 2.

[sterlingice]

Just moved to Indy so wanted to get a subscription into the thread :)

SI

[JP]

I hope you like the color blue, otherwise you will want to poke out your eyes in the upcoming months.

[sterlingice]

Not really a problem, tho I find that the standard license plates really stand out so I went with the supporting the arts one. Now if only I could remember how to change my location on my profile...

Saw these video game collectibles on Indianapolis Craigslist. Nothing I need, but some good deals in there for $2 a pop.

I'd probably buy the bobble heads if I saw them at a garage sale, but don't feel like driving to pick up just that.

[ObiBen]

okay, not a deal, but a question to my fellow IN CAGs. Has the selection of games in the clearance section of Target dried up since the new cases were put in place for anyone else?

[arbiter]

Yes.

[Jasonofindy]

Both the Southport and Greenwood Targets have been pretty much clearance game free with the exception of a single copy of Your in the Movies w/ camera (sighted last Sat. at the Greenwood location) and a couple of psp titles that were so unremarkable that I don't even remember exactly what they were (I'm pretty sure they were either sports or licensed kid movie related). I haven't trekked further north to check out any of the other Indy metro Targets.

[jedeyeben]

Anyone on here from around Terre Haute?

[Rictor]

Target has been weak on the clearance deals since they stopped overstocking everything. They're ordering a lot less video games these days and selling out of stuff.

I still found a Beatles Rock Band earlier this year for 75% off for PS3 though. I have better luck finding clearance deals on clothes and toys there. Picked up a lot of 75% off baby clothes for my daughter in the last couple weeks. Basically new clothes at garage sale prices.

[floormat]

Hey all. Going to Conseco field house for video games live tonight. Have never been there before so not sure of the layout or anything. Whats the best, safest, cheapest etc.. place to park for events there? Anything special to consider? Coming from Fort Wayne in case that would some how make a difference. Thanks for any and all help.

[SteveMcQ]

Circle Center mall parking is the cheapest. The first 4 hours is only $1.50, though at times they enforce events parking rates, but since you'll probably get there well before 7pm while the mall's still open they usually won't be able to tell. If you park in the Nordstrom entrance (off of Georgia street across from the Hooters), it's only a block from Conseco.

There's also a parking garage right across from Conseco on the east side coming down Delaware Street, but that goes for about $10 I think. Good thing is you just take a bridge and you're right there in Conseco.

Thanks a lot. Parked at the Circle center lot was there just shy of 5 hours cost 3 dollars. Prob saved near 10 bucks if not more. Thats the good news. Bad news is we had front row seats and they put boom camera stand right in front of our seats. Blocked most of the screens and stage... They said all they could do is seat us back somewhere if we wanted. arghhhh But thanks again for the great tip on parking.

I'd probably buy the bobble heads if I saw them at a garage sale, but don't feel like driving to pick up just that.

This guy dropped his price to $1 an item and added a bunch more stuff, so I couldn't resist. Drove to his apt. on the south side and bought 23 items for $23. He used to be a manager at Gamestop, so he had all the Gamestop freebies/bonus items/t-shirts/etc. you could want. I grabbed the bobble heads, 2 sealed Warcraft hardcover books, a bunch of sealed Spawn toys, sealed deck of Jay & Silent Bob playing cards, some trade paper backs, DVDs, etc. for $1 a pop.

He had a lot of stuff I didn't need and a bunch of comic books.

He still has an ad up:

FYI, the TRU on Washington St. in Indy has Mafia II out for sale for both PS3 and 360 as of today. It's not due out until next Tuesday.

[Rictor]

Sad Blockbuster finds at the Buy 1 Get 1 this time around. I don't think anyone trades in games to BB anymore. I miss the good old days of hundreds of games to choose from.

Also noticed more closings as I drove around. I think about 5 of the stores I used to frequent in the Indy area are gone now.

[arbiter]

Anyone looking for local trades in Ft. Wayne?
I have an old Acer Travelmate C110 tablet. Battery is bad, but notebook is fine.
Also a PNY Geforce 9800GTX+ 512MB.

If you're interested in either shoot me a PM and let me know what kind of stuff you may have to trade.

[evilmojo12542]

block buster become impossible to use. three stores within a few miles in any direction of me closed all ready. the one left open on 135 never has anything worthwile anyways so wasted gas

[The Mana Knight]

Just stopping by this old thread I use to spend lots of time in (before I left the state of Indiana).

I hope you like the color blue, otherwise you will want to poke out your eyes in the upcoming months.So true. When I went back to Indiana to go to my sister's wedding (in Indy), there was blue all over the place. I'm so use to see purple and black around instead (which I prefer since I'm a Ravens fan). One reason I'm glad to be out of the state, but I do miss having Fry's Electronics.

Not really a problem, tho I find that the standard license plates really stand out so I went with the supporting the arts one. Now if only I could remember how to change my location on my profile...

SII had an Indiana plate for years. Never had to deal with the BMV on switching to an Indiana plate (got all my IDs and plates in IN). I did have to transfer my IN plate and ID to Maryland over a year ago. Shockingly it wasn't bad, but very expensive to do (cost me over $400 when you add vehicle inspection, ID price (2X more than Indiana), tag prices, etc. (but MD is renew your plate every 2 years instead of 1).

Target has been weak on the clearance deals since they stopped overstocking everything. They're ordering a lot less video games these days and selling out of stuff.
I noticed that especially when I came back home to Fort Wayne in July. Around MD, I can find occasional clearance games, but not all that many Most I find are crappy Wii games, PS2 games, or a PSP/DS game no one wants.

[arbiter]

I've been getting really good deals on PC games now that target changed their VG section. Go through the PC stuff and look for red tags. They're marking stuff down once it's past a few months old. I just got Borderlands and Bioshock 2 for $14 each. My brother got Orange Box for 360 for $13.

[VA]

Ladies, the Target in southport had bioshock collector's edition for $50. I think that they had 2 for PS3 and 1 xbox.

[arbiter]

Anyone from Ft Wayne going to the Penny Arcade Expo in Boston this year? March 11-13th.
There is a group taking the trains to Boston. The line from Chicago to Boston goes through the Waterloo station, so there is an option to join up with a group there.

[doodmandood]

Same goes for Castleton Target.

I almost bought one.

Almost.

[Jasonofindy]

There is a PS3 Bioshock CE at the Greenwood store as well.

Does anyone know if any of the local Indy stores still have a console copy of Alpha Protocol after the drop down from $30? There were 5 or 6 at the Greenwood store last Saturday still marked at $30, but they must have dropped again because when I checked yesterday they were all gone and the single PC copy had been marked down to $13.

Also if anyone is interested in the music games, Green Day Rock Band dropped to $13 this past week at the GW store. I grabbed the last copy, but I'm sure there are more in other locations around town. Guitar Hero Van Halen refuses to drop. The Greenwood copies are still laughably expensive at $35.

[SteveMcQ]

Any Indy CAGs spot the Halo Reach shirts on clearance? I saw them at the game's release at Southport, but nothing since then.

I am actually looking for the cheapest way to get Beatles Rock Band. I can't find the collector's edition anywhere for a decent price. I'm ok with piecing together the non special edition controllers though.

I would prefer the Wii version. I can do PS3 if necessary.

[sterlingice]

Picked up :wii: Mario All Stars at the TRU on Washington yesterday. They still had 3 or 4 left and you get a $5 GC with it (cost $30).

Brownsburg Walmart has Wiis on clearance for 180 in the clearance section.....not electronics.

[Invicta 61]

INDIANA THREAD! Now only if we actually had some deals around here. :roll:

[Rictor]

Brownsburg Walmart has Wiis on clearance for 180 in the clearance section.....not electronics.

I would jump if they got down to around $150. I bet we'll see a $150 Black Friday Wii deal this year though.

I hit up FYE in the Castleton Square Mall a couple weeks ago and they had a bin of used DVDs for 50 cents each. Nothing amazing, but some okay movies like Tomb Raider, Million Dollar Baby for 50 cents each. I bought 8 while was there...$4 plus tax, can't beat that. I imagine they are probably gone by now. Good store to check for random clearance deals though.

I saw just the game for 360 in stock and on clearance at the Westfield Target at 146th and Meridian. I think it was like 10 dollars.

Kindof slow in the thread so I guess I'll ramble on about my day :)

It's been pretty crappy at work for the last couple of weeks so I decided it was time for some retail therapy. Back when I was in Kansas, doing 30-40K miles per year, I could just stop at a few shops in different cities along the way and sometimes get lucky.

For instance, I went through my old posts and looked at my old trips below in St Joseph (MO), Colorado Springs (business trip), or Richmond (VA- once I moved):

Granted, the big scores always happen at one place and they're so darn rare. But I went for a more conventional "I'm in a part of town I don't always head to so let's see what I can get at a few stores along the way".

I started at the Goodwill Outlet store on Shadeland. Saw a couple of broken PS1 games in there but nothing worth keeping. I got something neat for my wife there for 37 cents. Also, I saw some guy had a yellowed SNES in his cart :D

BTW, for the record- trying to backfill holes in my collection, PSX and SNES seem to be the ones that are disproportionately expensive. I mean, PS2 and NES stuff are like candy and pretty cheap. The N64 is a little expensive but there weren't a ton of games so I've done pretty good proportionally with the collection. But that PSX and SNES... just cost too much for how mass produced they are.

Next up was KMart. I have to admit, they've stepped up their game lately with this whole rewards program and the rep posting in the CAG forum, etc. Good to see more gaming competition because I was worried for a while there that we would just be down to ol' bait and switch Best Buy, pricescrew Gamestop, and "yes we have games but we don't care about games" WalMart. I picked up a copy of :ds: Dragon Quest 6 since it has a $15 reward back. Hard to go wrong with it at $20, in essence.

Next up, I stopped at Target in Washington Square. I was hoping to find the Mario Monopoly, Chess, or Yahtzee on clearance but no such luck. I got some heater/air conditioner filters on clearance which was fortuitous as we just put in our last ones this week.

Next in the mall, I went to the Gamestop. There's just something good about a good EB/GS. I walked up with a $15 copy of :ds: Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey (last one, sorry) and the guy at the desk, definitely a gamer, refers to me as "welcome, collector of rare and strange games" and we chat about how it used to be a Babbages- you can tell by the shape. Good stuff.

Finally, I go up to WalMart and picked up their last copy (sorry, again) of :wii: Red Steel 2 with Wii MotionPlus for $20 (and some girl scout cookies at the shoe store next door- I mean, really, they set up at the shoe store instead of the WalMart)

Tomorrow, I'm going to hit up McVan's and then go to Castelton and get my Celebi and try out Pokemon: Black/White.

SI

[sterlingice]

If anyone is planning on going to Castleton Square tomorrow for the Pokemon thing: Good luck and be patient! I went today and the crowds, parking, and traffic were on par with the weekends before Christmas. You'd probably be best to go near the Sears side of the mall and park there. I got some ok parking near Von Maur- I didn't care as walking's pretty easy. It's just that space was pretty limited.

They had two giant semis with Pokemon logos parked out in front so no mistaking what's going on. Heck, in the lot- there were a lot of non-Indiana license plates. There were quite a few Iowas, Illinois, and Ohios. I downloaded my Celebi at EB- no big deal.

However, there's this scavenger hunt thing where you had to find 5 different stations in the mall and get stamps. So, yeah, imagine putting 5 stations at different points in the mall and kids trying to get between all of them to get stamps with crowds the size of Christmas. Just think about that for a second. If you get them all, you get to spin a wheel for a prize (stylus, some plastic cell phone thing, or plush). Myself, I got a stylus. Anyways, I kept introducing myself as "that guy this hour who is too old to be doing this" which kindof run hollow when there were some cosplayers who came after me at a couple of them.

There was also a big screen set up to watch Pokemon cartoons, somewhere you could download a demo to your DS for Black/White, and giant mascot Pokemon to take pictures with. But, in short- just know what you're getting yourself into if you plan on going. Frankly, I expected a somewhat smaller crowd- I mean, I know Pokemon is hugely popular and I'm sure Black/White will sell another 3M in the launch month. But, wow- this I didn't expect. I thought maybe a steady stream of people but this was pretty crazy and one of the guys I talked to said it had been even worse in the morning.

BTW, I also spent an unhealthy amount on older games at McVan's and Disc Replay today. DR has mostly lower prices but McVan's seemed to buy for more from the people who came in when I was there. Also, the service at McVan's was excellent- I tied up one of the guys on a Saturday afternoon for more than an hour going through stuff and they were really cool about it. Definitely will be going back and have some stuff from other stores being shipped there.

The Blockbuster at Worthsville Road and US-31 in Greenwood is closing. They will continue to rent until Thursday the 24th, then the liquidators take over for an April closing. Good opportunity to get low prices on everything until they jack it up for the liquidation sale.

[ObiBen]

Does anyone know if the Sears Essentials Kmart in Noblesville honors the weekly deals. Interested in Enslaved for $15.

[HeSaveDave]

Here's what I be lookin for.



MS Points
Lego Potter 360
Transformers War Cybertron 360
Spongebob Truth or Square 360

[ObiBen]

If anyone is able to find the Tekken 6 bundle with fight stick for the 360 please let me know.

[ObiBen]

Located one at Castleton BB. I don't know if they had anymore since I called ahead and had them hold it for me.

[ObiBen]

On my way home from work the other day I noticed that there is a Blockbuster Video that is closing. It is on 116th street near Allisonville Road. I keep meaning to swing in and see if there is anything good to be found, but never seem to have the time.

Hi I live in the lafayette Indiana area anyone know of a wifi hot spot that I can go to?

I need to get the liberty ticket and my internet is really slow and I don't have wifi or know anyone who does.

I've been to starbucks, mcdonalds, panera and never seem to have any luck and the employees don't know much on it maybe I'm doing something wrong..

I got a old ds and dsi so it's not my system.

Anyone know of one where it worked for them?

Go to disc replay.

That's a shame- I'm always in the market for more places to shop. Tho, I have had great luck with Disc Replay and have gone to all of them around town now. Picked up quite a few older collection fillers that I was missing (from $1 NES games to SMRPG to complete my "Big Five SNES Square RPG" collection- FF2, FF3, CT, EB, and SMRPG)

walmart on us31 greendwood area had a boatload of $8 used games across all platforms.

[Captain Wrong]

Fwiw, the Castleton Disc Replay is offering an extra 50% on video game trade-ins. And it wasn't too bad, the ass raping I mean. Lol

[sterlingice]

walmart on us31 greendwood area had a boatload of $8 used games across all platforms.

I must be blind because I couldn't find them at all. I went to the one on 31 and the one on County Line

Target at Washington Square had copies of :wii: Animal Crossing for $12. I decided to pass. I picked up a really small 320GB hard drive for $30, tho :D

SI

[sterlingice]

Decided to take the long way (aka Washington St) home last night and my night was (Prepare for bad pun. Yes, I mean it. It's really bad. Here it comes. I warned you) EPIC!

First, at the Toys R Us, I picked up:
:wii: $15 Disney EPIC Mickey
:wii: $6 Excitebots ($10 clearance - 30% off)
They still had 5 or so copies of Epic Mickey and they had a lot of copies of the magazine with the coupon. Heck, they had copies of the coupon behind the counter and the person at the desk was very cool and helpful about it. The sticker is covered up with their other promotion (the $20 Epic Mickey charger) so you can't see the price. I think that's why there are still copies left. Excitebots- it was the last one, so sorry about that.

Then I went right down the street to Best Buy and picked up the following, which had multiple copies left:
:wii: $20 Kirby's EPIC Yarn (actually, in my mind, it was $15 since I had a gift card for $5)
:wii: $15 Metroid: Other M

So, again, in my mind, all 4 games for $15 or less. Still copies out there of 3. Great prices to grab these at and they have availability until El Hoardo finds them. Sales on all of them end today, tho.

Also picked up Mega Man 6 from Disc Replay for $10 so I'm pretty happy about that one, too. They had a Skies of Arcadia for the Dreamcast but it wasn't in the right case- just a standard 4 DVD case and not a Dreamcast case or I might have bit- it was marked at $25.

I'm a big fan of Disc Replay but mostly for older stuff. They do have newer stuff but I don't really look at it. There are 4 or 5 of them around town- Wash St, NE, NW, Greenwood, Avon- I think.

I'm on a huge JRPG kick, and it's pretty hard to find a few for the 360 recently. I'm looking for Magnacarta2, Eternal Sonata and Tales of Vesperia. I live in Northwest Indiana, aka The Region. I'm looking for these in new or like new condition. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try out a store called Gamestop. They have some video games for sale usually.

Broad Ripple Village in Indianapolis, Indiana

I haven't had a chance to get down there to visit the store yet, but I've had alot of people say they have a nice variety.

[JP]

They do have a decent variety but the pricing still is a bit out of hand and if they still have the same employees, I haven't been there in 6 months, were complete jackasses. Granted you can't get much but jackasses when your store is in Broad Ripple.

[sterlingice]

I was just in there Saturday and the guy who was working was pretty cool- we chatted about vintage games for a bit while I was going through games. But, yeah, prices are a bit high.

SI

[pksellers]

Just a heads up for those in NW IN, the blockbuster in Crown Point had a ton of 99c blurays today. I picked up quite a few but there was a whole double sided table full plus 4-5 boxes full on the floor when I left about 2pm.

[HeSaveDave]

Anyone know where to find deals?

[trabbahabba]

If you are in Indy, the Blockbuster at 56th and Georgetown is selling some consoles on clearance. DS Lite for $50, DSI for $75 and a PS3 160gb for $189.

[SteveMcQ]

Woah...those are brand new?!?

[ragtop70]

Anyone know of any Blockbusters left that are close to Greenwood?

[sterlingice]

Silly story, tho not near Greenwood. I went looking for one that used to be up by Oaklandon and 79th. I couldn't find it and ended up accidentally parking across from a daycare center and some sort of school in what used to be a little shopping center. So there I am, looking at my phone, parked for a few minutes in front of a school by myself in a car, looking intently at my phone and I look up and notice I have a couple of people looking at me like I'm going to get a visit from Chris Hansen. I quickly get out of there and head across the street, only to find an abandoned shell of what used to be a Blockbuster. So, no DVD/BluRay sale for me.

SI

[Tallboy2005]

Hey guys it's been awhile. Money got tight the past few months but I had money this week so I just got back from hitting the Greenwood area. Here's what I found.

I first hit up Best Buy (31 and Fry). The only thing that stood out to me was Rockband: Greenday was $11. They had 1 left each for :360: :ps3. They also had Gig for $9 :360: . Most everything else was $15 and up same old stuff.

I next hit up Target (Meridian/135 and Smith Valley). Was actually suppressed there were clearance games. They had about 7 Bioshock 2 regular edition for $7.98 :ps3: I checked the one for :360: in the aisle and it was still $15. They also had 1 Adrenaline Misfits :360:, 3 The Last Guardian :360:, and 2 other :360: games I can't remember. But all of those titles were $19.98 each. Outside of Bioshock 2, there was nothing amazing.

I next hit up Disc Replay (31 and Stop 10 I guess??, in with Walmart) Didn't see anything too spectacular. The only 2 games that stood out to me was a decent condition Starcraft 64 (64) and it looked like 2 good condition Goemon's Great Adventure (64) for $20 each.

I hit the GameStop next door but didn't see anything eye catching. Also another semi gaming note, the Comic Carnival right next to the Disc Replay and GameStop had a note on the door saying the store was closing. Don't quote me on this but I believe everything in the store is 40% off.

@ragtop70 As far as I'm aware of there is a Blockbuster on 31 and Fairview.

[karubah]

I visited the Walmart on 96Th street in Fishers, Indiana. They had one copy left of The Sly Cooper Collection for $24.00 for PS3.

[sterlingice]

Was looking for Zelda: OOT at KMart today in Indy

* Went to the one on W Washington St by the airport and they didn't have it out but the guy in electronics said they got in some new stuff today and were sorting it out in the back so it should be there tomorrow

* Then I went to the one on Pendleton near where I live. There was a spot for it in the case but no copies. I asked the person working there and she had to open up a couple of boxes of "ad stuff" behind the desk but found me a copy, got the $15 coupon, and viola :D

SI

[pksellers]

Anybody ever get to the Disc Replay in Lafayette? If so, how's their Super Nintendo & N64 collections. I'm thinking about driving down there but don't want to waste the time (2 hr drive for me) if they don't have much.

[floormat]

monthly bump =P

[Captain Wrong]

Did McVann's go tits up? Was in broad Ripple today and The Exchange is supposed to be opening soon where it was.

[sterlingice]

Yeah, I was wondering about that maybe a week or two ago when I drove by. Their ebay store is still up. Btw, anyone looking for 3DSs at WalMart on the east side is out of luck. The one on Washington still had them ringing up at $249 as of about 5pm and the one on Pendleton was completely out and with a sign that said $249 up. SI

it wouldnt shock me cause their price range has changed in the last few years....

I know it's not a "new" deal but if anyone's looking for a copy of Dragon Warrior 3 for the NES, the Disc Replay at Castleton had 2 for $25 each. It was the only NES one that I was missing (had it, loaned to a cousin, never saw again) but I have no use for 2 so one was still there as of Friday night.

(My post in the KMart thread for Zelda seekers)

I went to Pendleton Pike (Indianapolis) KMart first around 8:30. There was a guy working electronics but he didn't know a new Zelda game came out today. There was no spot in the case marked for Zelda and we had the "Games come out on Tuesdays" discussion. To his credit, he went and checked but could not find it, so I'm going with a stocking fail there.

Then I went down the road a couple of miles to Washington Street and Zelda success. When I walked up, the woman working the register was going through the ad with another customer, talking about various ads and deals and when they had a moment's pause, she said "You're looking for Zelda, aren't you?" and she was on top of it: "Controller one, or non-controller one".

She then was talking to the other customer (I got the impression they knew each other) about how I'm probably a gamer who probably had a coupon from the last game and I'll be getting another one from this game to use on another game, so she was trying to sell the other customer on getting on the coupon train. I tried to help her out with "yeah, I'll be back in 2 weeks for Mario Kart for the 3DS with the new coupon", since the other customer was getting 3DS games for her kids. When I was getting checked out, she asked if I knew about the ".com" and how there's an entire site for KMart gaming so word is getting out even if the details are a bit sketchy.

I feel bad for not getting her name because she was extremely helpful and knowledgeable and, for one day, going to KMart seemed just like going to any other retailer rather than some of the "horror" stories you hear on the board. All it takes is having one solid game in your area and now I know where I can go to make sure I can get the KMart deals.

So, for everyone in Indy without the game, Washington Street had 5 copies of the Collector's Edition left as of about 30 minutes ago when I left. Pendleton Pike probably won't be putting them out until Tuesday so that's another possibility if you miss out today.

Thread revival!!

If anyone is looking for a new TV, I found this at hhgregg:

The first time I ever came across McVanns was while driving around Fishers, then they moved into Broad Ripple and I hit them up every time I went to BR. But yeah, they left that location a few months back and it is now a place called "The Exchange". It's a used media store, but they surprisingly have a lot of old and new games, in nice ABC order, along with peripheral's to boot.

So check em out, after looking everywhere under the sun for A Boy and His Blob for wii for my mother, I found it there (Castleton location) for 18$ in great condition. It's a nice little replacement to McVanns.

[sterlingice]

There's another Exchange up at Castleton and they're pretty good. Prices aren't as good as Disc Replay, but they're cheaper than McVann's. McVann's was a boutique game store and there's a market for that and it was good to go in and chat video games with the guys there, typically, but you also pay more for it.

SI

[foltzie]

The Exchange is a chain based out of Ohio (Cleveland, I believe). In effect they are just like McVans, except their setup in terms of shelving is much nicer, more dense, and easier to browse.

[McCHitman]

Has anyone been to the "Junk Drawer" at 1 Cecil Ave? I think it's at the corner of Franklin and Washington (Indianapolis), I might try to head out there today and see what kind of oldies they have.

[sterlingice]

I've went there a few months ago. Seems like the guy who runs it is pretty nice. It's a tiny little shop with tons of stuff crammed into it- a shop that looks more like a hoarder's house. I picked up some old school Atari games and I seem to remember some standard old school games but I don't really remember and I'm sure things have changed.

SI

[McCHitman]

Checked out the Junk Drawer. It's mostly unlocked used phones and a few action figures. The games section is pretty small with mostly old atari games, genesis, and NES with a few Gamecube thrown in.

It's worth checking out if you're looking for something specific that they might have, but otherwise it's a pass.

[doodmandood]

How was the gamecube selection?

[McCHitman]

I'm not in the market for GC games so I don't know the titles he had, but I would say about 10-15 games for GC.

Also, there is a very small place on the Southwest side, in Decatur Township called Game Replay, or Games Replay. It sits on south High School Road, just south of Decatur Central High School. He has a variety of games and some consoles, with some import stuff thrown in. He also repairs and mods systems if your into that or in need of a repair. I don't have the addy or number at the moment, but it's really close to my house, so I can post it this weekend. His hours vary though, I think he just opens when he is bored.

[sterlingice]

I have one of those video game moral quandaries. I've been looking for :ds: Radiant Historia for probably a year now and it's just become rarer and rarer. It's to the point where, despite being a collector who pretty much has to have every modern game complete, I'd probably buy the cart at GS for $28 if there were one in a 50 mile radius (the one that shows at GS.com on Pendleton Pike- not there).

So, tonight, I'm leaving Castleton and decide to stop in at The Exchange at the last minute. I look around and pick up some other stuff but then I see: They have a copy! It's $35 but who cares, a complete copy would run me $50-$60 on ebay so I would gladly pay that. The girl working there takes it out of the case and it's still sealed! Now that runs $80-$100 on ebay. But I badly want to play the game. However, I feel almost guilty that I found a mint copy and the act of taking off the shrink wrap will cost me $40. What's a gamer to do?!?

Flip that baby!

[Rictor]

Yah, just sell it and then use part of the money to buy a used, open copy.

I was at the Half Price Books in Avon today and they got a huge shipment of PS2 games in. They have a ton at $5 each, including sealed games. Then they have the stuff like Shadow Hearts and a bunch of rare RPGs at fairly normal market prices, except most of those are sealed as well.

They don't look resealed, as they still have the Playstation sticker on top of the cases intact. However, all the UPCs on the sealed games have a holepunch through the UPC (but not the case). I'm not sure how you do that to a sealed game.

Anyway, I saw just about every title under the sun. Probably around 200 games. The expensive stuff is in the case and the $5 stuff is on a clearance cart by the register. I probably would have grabbed some of the rarer $5 sealed games if not for the holepunch in the UPC. Stuff like Magic Pengel.


Edit: Actually, I looked this up and I think the UPC holepunch is how they flag games as "Not for Resale" so these were probably free review copies that someone dumped at Half Price Books. It depends on the collector if this hurts the value or not.

[sterlingice]

Aw nuts. I was just over there yesterday at the airport and went to Disc Replay. HPB isn't that much further. Dang it- you even mentioned Shadow Hearts which is the only PS2 game currently on my list that I'm missing as I haven't wanted to pay crazy full price for it.

SI

[McCHitman]

Just hit up the Half Price books in Avon. They have a lot of crap games for PS2, but there are some RPGs like Rictor said, in there if some of you are into that. I picked up Hitman:Blood Money for $5. I didn't even know that HPB was there until I saw this thread the other day, so thanks for the heads up, I love driving my g/f nuts looking at used games...or anything for that matter.

Also, I posted a few weeks ago about Game Replay on High School Rd. That store is now closed. I tried to drop in there a few times over the past few weeks and he was always out to lunch, but when I went by Monday, the sign and everything was gone.

[McCHitman]

I was checking craigslist while bored here at work, and saw an ad for a video game store on Declaration Dr. next to a Kroger, in Greenwood, IN, on US 31. I usually don't go past greenwood mall, except when I go to Toxcity (which is rare), so I don't know what type of store this is.

Has anybody been there before? I plan on hitting it up sometime today if the weather doesn't get stupid.

[DigitalMP]

Went into disc replay in Castleton across from best buy today and scored a secret of mana cart for $10, Xenogears for $15 and a Dreamcast agetec fightstick (which I've been looking for forever and not paying $60 for one on eBay) for $15. Amazing, gonna try the one near Michigan road tomorrow and maybe The Exchange as well.

...how did I miss this? I live less than a mile away. I'll probably head over today too.

To add more info, for those in the area, you may wish to know (or know already) that Columbus Pawn of Columbus has expanded and now has a store at Whiteland Road and US 31, next to a Cash 4 Gold type place and a tattoo parlor. They have decent stacks of DS and PSP games, and swaths of 360, Wii, and PS3 stuff. I've found things like Disgaea DS, Heavy Rain, Star Ocean 4 International, etc. there for $15 a pop.

Yeah I have found a few gems at the michigan road store in the past but I live out in Fishers now so getting to that one or the ones on the south side are sort of a drive anymore. But you are right those are good ones to look out for if you're in the area.

It's not there. There isn't a store in the Kroger strip, but there is a Flea Market across the street, so I'm assuming it's a booth in there. We stopped in the Flea Market and I only saw a few booths that had very minimal amount of games. The one with the most had an 360 for $50 (no hard drive), a couple slim PS2s for $5 (for parts), a big ps2, a wii, a few 360 games for $16.50, and some original xbox games and ps2 games.

It's worth checking out I guess, but it was a worthless trip to me, except for finding TMNT: Coming out of our Shells on VHS, along with the making of for $1 each.

Yeah, I went over around noon yesterday and saw much the same lack of stuff. Didn't see the 360, but saw the slim PS2s, the Wii ($20 with no cables, that doesn't seem like a bad deal for someone), and the assortment of games. There were a handful of PS1, Genesis, and SNES games there, but the only one that seemed notable to me was Killer Instinct. That same booth also had a couple PSPs for parts and a 'slim PSP' - couldn't tell if it was a 2000 or 3000 - for $75.

There were a couple other booths that had several Gamecube games each slid in with their DVDs, but nothing particularly notable.

I also drove down to Columbus Pawn in Whiteland - if anyone in the area is looking for Professor Layton and the Unwound Future, they had it for $15. That was their most notable title, though they did have a few 'Atlus/Aksys/XSEED' type games; Nostalgia, Spectral Force Genesis, and Pangya were the most notable things I saw.

On a side note, I wore the hell out of a tape of 'Coming Out of Our Shells' when I was a kid and now have 'Sing About It' stuck in my head.

[McCHitman]

I have one of those video game moral quandaries. I've been looking for :ds: Radiant Historia for probably a year now and it's just become rarer and rarer. It's to the point where, despite being a collector who pretty much has to have every modern game complete, I'd probably buy the cart at GS for $28 if there were one in a 50 mile radius (the one that shows at GS.com on Pendleton Pike- not there).

So, tonight, I'm leaving Castleton and decide to stop in at The Exchange at the last minute. I look around and pick up some other stuff but then I see: They have a copy! It's $35 but who cares, a complete copy would run me $50-$60 on ebay so I would gladly pay that. The girl working there takes it out of the case and it's still sealed! Now that runs $80-$100 on ebay. But I badly want to play the game. However, I feel almost guilty that I found a mint copy and the act of taking off the shrink wrap will cost me $40. What's a gamer to do?!?

I don't know if you've sold or opened it yet, but Atlus is hinting at a reprint.

I checked them out afew weeks ago for the first time in abotu 3 years... nothing worth my time, when I was in college I could get all kind of goodies in there, but they were all full of common crap when I looked.

Well, easy come easy go. I haven't opened it or played it yet (actually, doing another time travel game currently as I'm doing Chrono Trigger) but I didn't plan on selling it. If it reprints, that works, too, since I got it for $35.

Well I hit up a few flea markets today and upon rummaging in a crate full of wires, I found a black Sega Sports Dreamcast with a RF adapter!?! and crappy third party controller. I told the guy I didn't want the controller, although I could have used the extra VMU, and I didn't want the RF, obvious reasons. $15 is what I ended up paying for it. I haven't tested it yet, but I plan on it later after boogie burger!!!

I also scored Dead Space for the 360, which I've been searching for, for quite some time, for $18 at Best Buy in the pre owned bin.
