Gotta love food pricing at the ol state fair. Actually you gotta love the pricing in general for the fair. It just hurts.

I haven't gone to the fair itself for a few years now, but i'd really like to go just to have funnel cake. I can't remember the last time I had some really fantastic funnel cake.

I actually forgot I made this thread. Whoops. Seems like there's quite a few of us out there. Anybody found anything cheap lately? I'm kinda holding out for the TRU sale next week. Plan on picking up Soul Calibur 3, Resident Evil 4 (PS2) and I still don't know what the 3rd game will be. May see if the wife want's something...

[Halo05]

Haha, I moved earlier this year, I didn't realize this thread was so old. Anyhow, Christiansburg VA is home now.

[tdphillips]

Can't wait for TRU B2G1 sale. Can anyone in Raleigh tell me if any of the TRUs have DDS2 in stock? I'm hearing some TRUs are not carrying it. I'm hoping to pick it up & maybe Makai Kingdom. I don't know what game #3 will be yet, maybe We Love Katamari.

What stores are you guys going to go to on luanch day to get a 360? especially in charlotte

[Cth]

What stores are you guys going to go to on luanch day to get a 360? especially in charlotte

I'm guessing Best Buy - University area.. possibly Wal-Mart in Concord/Kannapolis.

[simplygriff]

Target Clearance!

Greensboro, NC
Wendover Target
Darkstalkers PSP $14.98 - there were about 4-5 left. They were in the glass case Top Left Corner.

I got Feel the MagicXX/XY DS and Sprung DS last week at the Lawndale Target for $10 each.

What have you guys found and where?
-G

[cgh312]

Good idea, Griff!

Target Clearance - Cary, NC

PSP
Darkstalkers - $14.98 (had a bunch)
Lumines - $29.98 (maybe 2 or 3)

A few more PSP and a couple DS titles that I can't remember, nothing outstanding like above.

Several copies of each. Located at the rear of the video game section in those paper display things, not in the display case.

[danboy123]

Gastonia... and working in Charlotte...

[kdunn77]

Cary in the house. And very late to the party.

If anybody is close there is a Gamecrazy in Apex that is not doing so hot, so go CAGs and buy, buy, buy. They are by far the best store in my area and I don't want them to shut down!

[swetooth9]

where are you guys gettin your 360's (if you are)?

[cgh312]

Not sure where to try. I was thinking maybe a Target that morning?

[Prowl]

I shall be getting my preordered back in May xbox 360 midnight at Brier Creek Gamestop. Yay.

[Cth]

Well, apparently, there's already lines at Walmart in Winston-Salem and Concord, NC..

Concord is only getting 4 premium and 10 core systems.. so those are likely as good as gone.

No word on Charlotte's Wal-Mart..

anyone know about raleigh walmarts?

[cgh312]

The Super Walmart at Briar Creek got 14 in and have 14 people waiting for them in chairs.

[unctennis122]

Walmart at New Hope Commons (Durham) gave out the slips at 10 AM (5 Premium and 5 core)... I missed that one by a lot.

Walmart in Hillsborough has 2 Premium and 13 Core, I was the 8th person in line and left at 5:30, I didn't want to wait 6 hours for just a core.

[swetooth9]

i've never actually participated in line-waiting for items, but is it "people are given the chance to buy xbox 360's in the order they are lined up" or is it "first to get their hands on one (despite the order they are lined up in), are first to be able to buy them"? like if i'm like 20th in line, when we all get inside can i try to run ahead of people to get to the 360's before them? or how does this work?

[unctennis122]

i have never participated in the waiting either, I know that target is handing out tix for the xboxes at 6AM, but they wont tell me how many they have at the southpoint location, and I can't get through to the Durham location.

[SeeYa]

The Super Walmart in Clayton had only 2 premiums and plenty of people in line at 2:00. The Garner one is opening normally at 7 AM, she didn't know how many they had. The Fuquay Super Walmart had 2 premiums and 8 cores, they had 4 people in line at 2.

For the Xbox launch, it was a first come, first served. Target had 12 numbered tickets that they handed out to the first 12 people in line. I assume it will work the same way this time. It's not a mad dash to the electronics a la "Jingle All the Way" :).

[tdphillips]

That's why I don't buy systems at launch. I just can't wait in line.

[Cth]

For future reference, here's what I did to get one..

If you know anyone with a business, see if they have a membership at Sams Club.

Sams Club opens at 7am (3 hours before regular hours) just for business club members ($35 a year I believe).

We got there at 6:40am and ended up 13th in line. The store received 20 premium editions and had PDZ Collector's Edition for $50.

is a business club member different from a normal membership? b/c my grandpa has a sam's club membership, but i'm not sure if that's the same as a business one...

[Wanderlai]

There is a nice clearance sale at the Wal-Mart on University in Winsto-Salem. Radiata Stories $30, Meteos DS $18, WarioWare Twisted DS $18, Halo Map Pak $12, Fatal Frame 2 $18, there were alot more clearance games available if I think of any more I'll post them.

[Wanderlai]

If any of you guys are interested I have one Sams Club XBox 360 bundle and one Costco XBox 360 bundle available. Both bundles have an extra wireless controller and the Play n Charge kit. The Costco bundle has Kameo with it.

[Cth]

Yeah. It's cheaper believe it or not. I'm not sure if you need a tax id or not (I'm guessing so)

My friend upgraded his to a business membership, but he has a consulting company. My wife's stepdad let us use his to get ours.

[Wanderlai]

You didn't need to be a buisness member to buy one at 7:00. Sams Club's company memo was to allow regular and buisness members in at 7:00 to buy 360's. I checked two different Sams clubs with their managers and was showed their policy. I waited in line at one of these Sams club and around 2:00am the nightime manager came outside and told use the rules. 1 per membership, you had to be the person pictured on the membership card, and you had to be a buisness member to get in at 7:00. I was like WTF and demanded that he call the daytime manager to get his sh*t straight. He did call, thank God I remembered the managers name, and confirmed what I was told. Anyway two 360 bundles later and the night was a success.

[CocheseUGA]

Just south of Raleigh here, though I claim Willywood at home, even though I have family in Fayettenam.

[ryoga79]

Wow. The state fair scares me. Deep fried candy bars? How is that possible?

My now Ex-gf and I had one at the state fair this year. Deep Fried Three Musketeers bar was actually really really good. Basically just hot melted chocolate inside a pancake on a stick. I still think that the ostirich Quesadilla is what upset my ex's stomach and not the candy bar.

State Fair food is too freakin expensive.

Brevard, NC checking in.

It's really in the sticks, it's about 20 min or so on a good day from the Asheville Airport and the Best Buy that just opened just on the other side of I-26 from the airport is another 2-3 mins past that. I have no Targets, no EB Games, and no Gamestops anywhere close (at least not yet).

[simplygriff]

Anyone run across any leaked DS lites?
-G

[botticus]

I'm guessing the answer to this is gonna be in the negative, but might as well find out:

Is there anything worth visiting gamestore-wise in the Outer Banks area? I never saw much of anything last year, but I also wasn't addicted to CAG and gaming last year. So I figure I might have some time over the 7 days I'm there next week to scope out some stores.

Hey all, new CAGer near Hickory over the breaks, but in Chapel Hill during school season (UNC student).

I'm actually kind of glad to see that nobody else is near me...don't have to worry about deals at the major retailers getting picked clean before I get there.:-\"

[graf1k]

Don't worry, I'll send my sister into Chapel Hill to clear them out for any big sales. ;)

[graf1k]

[daear]

Asheville here. Adding my voice so I exist. :-)

Only scant pickings as far as I've found, though I haven't combed the city as thoroughly as I should have. Still, the usual department stores, an EBGames, GameStop and used VG store make it liveable.

[kdunn77]

Anybody near Rocky Mount want to pick up some dvds at EBstop and ship them to me? I'll pay ya $15 extra via paypal.

[schuerm26]

Im heading out to Charlotte next month and im wondering if there are any local video game stores that still carry PS1 games and Older system games? Besides G-stop and EB who i don't think have PS1 or older anymore.

[Scotty P]

i'm in NC, directly in Snootyville (Cary).

The CC at crossroads had plenty of the recent clearance stuff (save metal slug - I bought the last one) and it hadn't been marked on the shelf but rang up reduced. Good spot to check if that recent deal interests you.

I'll keep you guys posted with deals I find!

[Blueclerica]

[lukewin]

Charlotte, NC here, around the UNCC area

[SkeletonBrute]

I live in Clinton, NC, its about 45 minutes to Fayetteville, Wilmington, Raleigh, or Jacksonville from where I am. No where to buy games except Wal-marts and they do have an FYE in Dunn but thats still a 30 minute drive. I usually have to find my deals online, and CAG has been great for that.

I lived in the Triad for a while, in Greensboro, just off Wendover in Laurel Bluff Townhouses, then in Thomasville . I LOVED it there, at least twenty places to get games within 10 minutes of me :bouncy:, shops at Wendover, Oak Hollow Mall, Hanes Mall in Winston, all those places the boro.... Then we moved back out to the sticks.

I started a social group for NC CAGS when CAG 2.0 started up. Please join us. Deals FTW!!!

[Scotty P]

I'm moving to Raleigh in August. Is there any small town video game stores with good deals or is it all corporate chains?

The closest thing to a local store of any sort around Raleigh is Play n' Trade. Technically its a corporate chain but it has the feel of a local shop.

So yeah, all corporate chains. Local shops wouldn't be able to compete on pricing.

[homeland]

Thanks for the feedback, I've only been there for less than 3 days, so have extremely limited knowledge.

[Morpheus647]

Thanks for the feedback, I've only been there for less than 3 days, so have extremely limited knowledge.
I just remembered there are a couple places in the flea market (it's at the state fairgrounds) that sell games. That places that sell games are kinda scattered about so you have to look for them.

I may need to make a trip out there. I see signs for an independent used CD/DVD/Games store in Chapel Hill, but I've yet to actually go in

[Wolve11]

fayetteville/Ft Bragg here.....game stores suck here compared to where I lived before.

[ZeonikFreak]

Im in the Raleigh NC area as of now, but im moving to SC with my parents temperarly next month, so i am going to miss it here.

As for game places, i got those covered. The Raleigh Flea Market (on the corner of Hillburough and Blue Ridge rd) has two areas in there that sell games. One is the on the restarunt strip of the flea market run buy a guy named Victor, who sells games, but at Ebay prices. Another is an indian guy inside the white building who sells games, movies, anime stuff and more, his prices differ.

As for Game stores, your best be is the Play n Trades in the area. Theres a guy named Joe who owns one in Cary and in Garner, the one in Cary is behind the Lowes Home and Improvment store, or right across the street from where the BJ shopping center is. His other store is in Garner near the White Oak movie theater. He has some great prices on games that GameStop would normally charge higher on.

If your near the north raleigh area, a guy named Mike Gibson runs a PnT near the Digital Circus, and has a Cary store off Davis Drive. Also, Triangle Town Center is about to open (sometime) a new Play n Trade across the street of where Target is, which is all behind the mall.

I hope that was of some help to people moving in Raleigh. It sux i have to move right now, but i am planning on coming back in the near future. There are like 4 PnT in SC, the closest one to where im staying is like an hour and a half of driving, so im not sure if thats worth my time.

Well, thats whats in Raleigh...

Thanks for the info. I'm moving right by the Triangle Town Center. Will keep an eye out for that new PnT to open.

I did work for the PnT in Garner and Cary, but i was let go off for silly reasons. I was hoping the PnT will open near Triangle Town Center, but me and a friend of mine check it out a couple of weeks ago, i think all they did to it in a months time was put up like 4 panels of insulation. I wanted to get a job there, but with whats going on, im sure that store will open up probably near the fall.

Its being built by Crosland construction, and i know a few people i can find out who is building that PnT since my dad worked for Crosland for a couple of years. I guess i can ask around and see when it might be expected to open.


But yea, welcome to Raleigh...

If you drive down Capital Blvd. a little bit to the Wakefield Commons in Raleigh/Wake Forest, there is a Play 'n Trade there you might want to check out. Depending on who is working, it is usually pretty good. I would also recommend the GS there in Wake Forest, next to the Wal-Mart. They have the usual GS policies and BS, but the people that work there are very good and knowledgable, unlike most GSs I have been to.

[Wolve11]

any Fort Bragg or Fayetteville people here? I'm wondering if I can find some local people to trade 360 games with.

Yea, thats Mike Gibsons PnT. He also owns one on the other side of cary, or away from the owner of the Garner and Cary Crossroads ones.

Yea, apperently, GS corperate is putting up the MGS2:S covers and booklets for the original MGS2 game. So, if your thinking of getting a copy of Substance from the collection for 5 bucks, your really not. I made that mistake at the GS in Fuquay Varina, and they gave me a Sons of Liberty game, saying its the same game that comes with the case, which is completely wrong in every way. So when i went to return the game, i brought a picture of what the disk should look like, they they kept saying "Its the same game." Huge :eyeroll there.

Ah... GS...

Newcomer but loving this site. I'm in Statesville (bit north of Charlotte) right now as its my hometown, but in the fall I head over to Chapel Hill for my last year at UNC (shouldn't be a surprise since cheap and college student go so well together).

[Doomstink]

I just remembered there are a couple places in the flea market (it's at the state fairgrounds) that sell games. That places that sell games are kinda scattered about so you have to look for them.

Ha! You might as well buy from eBay if you even consider going to the flea market stores. They price from eBay (they'll do it in front of you) and not even the low end of eBay prices, they'll find the highest BIN and charge that price. $60.00 for the Dreamcast Marvel vs. Capcom 2? Screw that.

Yea, thats the "press start" store on the food strip of the flea market.

Well the only guy at the flea market who sells games "somwhat" cheap is the mexican guy near the parking lot off Hillbourough Street.

You were with me when i got Turtles in Time for 10 and Lunar (incomplete with disk one and bonus disk) for 5. I would kinda like to get that SNES Zelda game off his hands though...

[sweeper1303]

I was just wondering if anyone in the Raleigh area was able to score an early copy of Rock Band 2 and where they got it?

[fuchikoma.x]

yeah, mebane, i goto gilford college, but i'm from miami, work in sorry mebane

[Nirron]

So I'm kind of wondering: are there any CAGs in the UNC Chapel Hill/Durham area? I only ask because quite a few of the BlockBusters around me have been lacking in some choice flippables, and the Circuit City on Westgate off Hwy 15/501 was completely picked clean of all the good flippables to BBV/GS.

[wolfpackgamer]

I might've cleaned out some stores in durham but nothing as far west as CH.

[Sa2vador]

Any CAG's in the Asheville area? Feeling lonely out here :'(

[homeland]

I've been stalking northeast raleigh, the capital blvd area. Nothing to exciting but hoping to find some good deals.

i am loving Raleigh so far. have found so many slick deals on hardware and games..gotta love target clearances

[thepik241]

Anyone in Charlotte find a copy of LittleBigPlanet?

Just curious due to the delay and all.

[Travisntucker]

I am the same way. Looking to find someone that was able to pick up a copy of LBP early in the Raleigh/Wake Forest area. If anyone can tell me if they found one, I would appreciate it.

[m3g4t0ky0]

I'm somewhere in NC around Raleigh... *hides*

[homeland]

its a pretty spread out city.. not sure you have to hide... though answer me this.. just moved down here. why are there so many cars left on the side of the highway? people drive and just say fuck it.. i'm gonna walk?

[YourFace]

Rednecks see a lawn and feel a need to park a car on it. I guess they do it the highway shoulders in the spirit of public service.

[ZeonikFreak]

I belive there abandoned "beiner" cars. Basicly, the latinos buy something cheap, so when it breaks down, they just ditch them.

Well most of them are that way. When i lived in raleigh a couple of months ago, i heard one of the employees i worked with at my job was head back home in durham, and his car died. So he figured he could just leave it on the side of I 40 for the night and get it in the morn. Well come to find out, his car was picked in areas for parts, so it was in worse conidition than before. I really dont know if he fixed it or not, i just hoped everything worked out.

Also, if you parking in Downtown Raleigh behind Lincon Theater, be careful. I was working that lot one day, they had to tow 5 cars behind the theater, because someone came in with a saw and started going to the market on thier car parts. Im not sure if they fixed that or not or caught the guy. And this happend in the day at some point.

So, welcome to Raleigh lol...

[SadClown92]

Does anyone know any good game stores to go to in Raleigh. There's pretty much nothing here cept one Play N Trade.

[homeland]

target is great if u keep up with the clearancr games

[YourFace]

I like Circuit City just because of their wide variety of games, although the prices may not be great. However, you frequently stumble across some old game that you meant to get for a good for price. And every once in a while, there will be a good stand at the flea market.

Dude, what dimension do you live in? Theres like 5 active PnT in the raleigh area alone.

Go one PnT site and go to store locater, then pick state and all that stuff, you'll see what i mean...

So annoying to live in Chapel Hill...I see so many awesome opportunities at game places there, but that 30 minute drive just seems too expensive when I factor in gas and what not. If only GameStop and a few other places could ship games to their other stores.

Charlotte has numerous GameStop's. They also have three Play-N-Trade stores. Concord has a GameCrazy store. And also a few GameRush's inside BlockBusters.

The Play-N-Trades are good for classics.

The PnT behind Triangle Town Mall is either closed, or still waiting to open. The sign is there but its empty inside.

[CaseyRyback]

That store is new. They just put up the sign for it the other day.

[ZeonikFreak]

Wow, seriously? It was like that 6 months ago.

<chuckles>... ah, wow, im not even sure if thats going to open anytime soon, if ever it seems...

Ya..There's a pizza place on the other side of that little plaza and wife and I get our pizza from there and i'm always looking. That whole strip right there seems like a wierd location.

[CaseyRyback]

They have been building in that area for years. That is why they put that there.

[homeland]

little update.. the P'n'T now has a now hiring sign..

What I meant by weird location. you have a huge mall in front of it a big shopping area behind it and the shopping area that P'n't seems so narrow.

[ZeonikFreak]

I belive thats another Mike Gibson store, since i got an email from him like 3 months ago saying he needed people for a new store. Of course, i dont live up there, and i moved to SC.

Yea, that location needs a sign to his store, because who is going to think about going down from the pizza place to find a game store. Also, your going to be parking behind the store, and in front of the pizza place if you ever come across any open spots.

Yea, he needs a sign behind the store to the parking lot, to show where it is. I dont know what Crosland was thinking when the developers designed that area, its so backwards. My dad worked for Crosland a couple of years back, but he was supernintendent of the Oberlin Ct apartments, which was my frist job. I know a few people in the Crosland ranks who back 6 months ago, i would have called and found out who was going to open that store.

Yea, if the store was facing the front of the large parking lot, that wouldnt be a problem. But some developer thought it was a cool idea to face a hole in the ground filled with water. I dont know what to say.

Wow, i really went on a rant didnt it...

[ZeonikFreak]

Just getting the word out...

[homeland]

wow might have to check that out.. Is that across from wake forest walmart?

[homeland]

Well I found that PnT .. not much of a selection. mainly looked at 360 titles. You could get saints row 2 or Tales of Vesperia for $30... That was the highlights I saw.

[ZeonikFreak]

Ah, the north raleigh location. I always heard his Cary store was doing bad, and i thought that was the one that was going out of business. I went there last spring with a friend of mine a couple of times, the only deal i got was Stranglehold for 15 on Xbox. And before, i bought the Street Fighter Collection for PSX for 15 too...

[homeland]

Haven't been to the one in Cary. Try to stay out of Cary personally.. has to much of a "desperate housewives" vibe to it. pretty scary.

[crzyjoeguy]

the pnt in north myrtle beach south carolina kicks ass, i loved going there over gs cuz 1 they leave u the fuck alone 2 they dont try to sell u preorders all the time and 3 they let you play ne game u want b4 u buy it. i dunno if thats all pnt's tho' mine also had as good a selection as most gamestops

[LiquorLicks]

The Best Buys in Greenville and Gardner will match TRU's deal on RB2 for 109.99 and give you a 25 gift card, and looked at both the Target's in Greenville and Garder and no clerance games, nothing note worthy atleast.

[jwlowry]

[ryoga79]

Any word on if the PnT in Garner is going OOB? That's the first PnT I've been to, and my bro (who still lives up there) loves that store. I even got my first 3 real HD DVDs from there (Bourne Trilogy for $30 last May).

No way. The Garner PnT is the top grossing PnT franchise out of the entire organization. Joe knows how to run his store well and I don't think it will go out of business any time soon.

[MirrIll]

Greensboro, well, TECHNICALLY Pleasant Garden here! I never knew there were so many people from my area on here! Means I have to really get the ball rolling on my deal hunts.

has anybody checked for clearance games in radio shack's in the raleigh area? i stopped by the brier creek location and it was a no go. after asking the associate there he seemed to think maybe the mall store's would be best to check but i haven't had the chance to yet and just wanted to see if anyone else had.

[ncentity]

Clayton NC here ;) - Radio Shack out this way is wiped btw

I haven't been to any Radio Shacks, the only I've ever check was the one in the Crabtree mall and I didn't see anything. I do however check the 2 targets weekly on capital for their video game clearances. If you let me know what system your looking for (I only look for 360 games) I'll post in here what I've found. If others do the same, it would help us keep informed on the good deals in the area.

[bmikeyd]

Albemarle... Never many sales to brag about around here.

i try to hit the supertarget once a week myself, but was able to leave a big update for the ghetto target on capital in the target clearance thread last week. i'll try and make sure i at least copy that post to this thread too next time.

almost forgot, thx for the rs nfo. :)

[ncentity]

If anyone is interested in deals at the Garner Target (Timber), I can post those...

[kodos64]

FYI... the Greatland Target in Brier Creek (raleigh) was loaded w/ 360 games yesterday. multiple copies of last remanent, soul calibur 4, bros in arms HH, and unreal tournament. most were $30. i have seen a hoarder there before so if you want something definately act fast.

i'll prolly post this same thing in the target clearance thread later today or tomorrow so everyone here has a little bit of a head start. ;)

[homeland]

thanks for the heads up...
360:
Bourne Supremecy -30
Fracture - 20

Yea, thats news to me, and i still get his email deals every week even when im down here.

He must have been thinking Gibson's store...

[wesdw369]

anyone know a good local (raleigh and surrounding area) place to get a ps3 repaired?

[NTolerance]

Yea, thats news to me, and i still get his email deals every week even when im down here.

The store in Wakefield was a real mess. Very low stock in general, lack of stock for several high-profile titles, forced Wii bundles, etc...

I was in there once and a dad was asking the salesperson about a Wii cheerleading game for his daughter. The sales dude made a smartass remark and giggled about the idea of a cheerleading game.

[ZeonikFreak]

heehee, wow. :applause:

The only time i got anything from the wakefield store was Street Fighter Collection and StrangleHold for xbox, and a Master System game Great Baseball.

He had PC games, but they really dont sell, and he cant really take them back if someone returned them, because the code on them has been used.

Me and Doomstink went by one day and his original idea was to have a bar, but he was "i would get drunk all the time". I think he could have fused a bar and a PnT in one area, or a ABC store and a video game store. Sure, hes not going to sell much video games, but at least he will be in bussiness one way or another.;)

So now hes got his Cary store which im guessing is still open. Ive only been there like twice since it opened last year, really not alot there...

[Travisntucker]

Yeah. The Wakefield store was just bad. I went in there a few times and the stock was always low. VERY low. And the employee attitudes were beyond horrible. As much as people hate GameStop, the GameStop in the Wal-Mart shopping center just across from Wakefield was and still is very good. It was no wonder that the Wakefield PnT shut down.

anybody thats near raleigh, there is a very nice fye (depending on who is working that day) in dunn/erwin, always has some kind of deal going on, i usually go there and get uber cheap games, generally i never spend more than 10-15 for a game thats been out more than a couple months, games always look mint and are full case/manual. never traded with them, since i dont trade in my games, but have heard from my friend that does that the rates are usually better than gamestop but not as good as blockbuster

did anyone find any guides from the bb drop in raleigh and did you leave any? i posted on the penny guide thread about a few i found at the brier creek location.

if anyone found any extra street fighter 4 guides and weren't able to find one they wanted let me know i was able to grab some of the others but sf4 was the one i really want.

didn't get to try on monday but a few months ago i went in at 10am on a drop day and i saw someone walking out with 30+ guides and by the time i got in the store they had pulled anything the previous person hadn't bought.

in far fewer words: i doubt they have any left. thx tho!
