I found some clearance Wii points and classic controllers at my Walmart tonight. Each one has a rubber classic controller sleave and are $14 plus tax. I picked up 5 point cards and 3 controllers. There are plenty more of each, though way more point cards. I'm willing to pick these up for cost + tax ($14.84) to be paid for at the CAG meetup on the 26th. Please let me know who is interested in what. All the controllers have pink sleaves, the point cards are mixed, but mostly pink.

Where have you been abhinav? I haven't seen or heard from you in ages.

College has been eating me alive. Alive i tell you! I missed the last few meet ups due to Tests being that week, just bad luck i guess. I really do hope i can make this one. How have you been?

[ighosty]

For those interested in the C city clearance. My local C city, Harrisonburg had plenty of Odin Spheres (4+) and many of the other games on clearance.

[FlamingMoogles]

yo if i can get off work i'd definately be up for the 26th!

[distantmantra]

My wife and I are going to be visiting her sister and husband in D.C. from the 9th to the 14th. Are there are any independent or import game shops in the city itself?

[FlamingMoogles]

I believe there is a cd/game exchange in DC. Its a small chain in the area, I think they have some in cincinatti and ohio. Anyways I always find some great deals there on used games. The one near my house even had some imports last time. Dunno if that is what you are looking for but I'm pretty sure there is one in Adams Morgan and I am positive that there is one on Wisconsin Ave.

Anyways here's the site if you wanna visit. Addresses should be there www.cdgamexchange.com

Thanks. I'm not sure what I'm looking for either. We've got a great import gaming store here in Seattle, and I don't expect anything similar, nor is it high on my list of things to do while we're there, but I thought that D.C. being such an international city, there might be something.

[Goozex]

Hey DC area peoples...
Here's the start of a post I made on Goozex forums about a local gaming tournament.

"I wanted to tune in all the nearby MD/DC/VA members that might be interested in a local gaming tournament that is benefiting Child's Play Charity. It is being held at the University of Maryland by a student group named Gamer Symphony Orchestra (http://www.umgso.com/signup.php). You do not need to be a UMD student to participate."

[thebob101]

Glad to see so many can come out to the meetup. I will get an official list up this evening.

[GenDV138]

I'm a maybe right now for the next meet-up, depends if I can take the day off from work but hopefully I can.

[s0undwav3]

Any CAG's live in Springfield? I am looking for the asian toy / anime / toys and video game store that is located somewhere in Springfield. I went there with someone else 2 years ago, and I cannot remember the name or where it is at all but I know it's in some strip mall, not in the mall itself.

Thanks in advance.

[GloveBox]

Used to be one in the strip mall where the Giant food store is, kinda across from where Kinkos is now. Was called Pandora's Cube or Box or something like that. It got shut down because they were selling modded XBox's.

[Johnny-C]

I'd like to make it to the next meetup, but I will be out of town that weekend. :-(

[G-Nitro]

Are we gonna extend the meet over to the Goozex members like last time? I think that would be a good idea to do it again.

There is "Anime FX" in Springfield. I thought they were in the mall, although I never went there in person I did pre-order Advent Children from them online and the fuckers never processed my order.

There is also "Anime Pavilion" in Falls Church. They have been around for awhile now. They moved awhile back to a location that is hard to find if you don't know the area. I'm not a huge anime fan, but Anime Pavilion is a good business to support in NoVA. The owner knows his stuff.

Oh we are letting the Goozex people come. Well now I am kind of glad, I am not going to be able to make it :)

It sounds like it will be a good time, good luck guys.

Anime FX went out of business months ago. Springfield in general is rather depressing these days, since Anime FX, Pandora's Cube, and Star Land are all gone.

With Anime FX biting the dust I guess there isn't much left except for Anime Pavilion in Falls Church. I know Big Planet comics carries some anime, but it is not the focus of the stores. I heard of a placed called "Anime World" somewhere out in Chantilly, but that is all I know. These days I don't travel outside DC or Arlington if I don't have to.

[G-Nitro]

Just wanted to give everyone in the area a heads up. Tomorrow night is Hot Import Nights at Dulles Expo. There is going to be a Halo 3 FFA puton by Underground Gaming Series from 5PM to Midnight. The prize is $1000 (Winner takes all). I will be there promoting Pwned.com at the H3 tournament, so if anyone else is gonna be there, stop by and say what's up.

[s0undwav3]

Guys, thanks for all the store information. I'll look up the store in Chantilly the next time I'm out there, but my friend said the anime store in Fall Church is gone, but didn't know exactly if another oen was there.

Anyway, where is this meetup going to be at? I guess I didn't read it or missed the post, can someone help clue me in?

Cleaver plays football? What the hell? How did i not know about this?! Where did he play, i demand (begging?) for a signed card when you get drafted.

[s0undwav3]

Just a CAG alert to let you all know that all regional Target's as of today lowered the clearance price of Project Gotham Racing 4 and Two Worlds both for the Xbox 360 to just $14.96. I bought both and used the $5 off $25 any Toy, and it worked flawlessly. Nice games for just 25 bucks.

[Charlie97L]

hey guys i've done a few searches, are there any classic stores with older games in the DC area? i mean, i know ebay works, but i like going and just browsing sometimes.

thanks!

i might be down on saturday for the meet, too, anything special i need to bring?

[lurknomore]

Sounds good. Bring some trade stuff if want to do that...otherwise, just bring yourself. Food, drinks, and talking CAG are what we will be doing.

[s0undwav3]

The TRU I went to today had a bonus 20% off any clearance game, plus $10 off any 2nd game you buy. So I think I got a deal of the lifetime today at TRU.

Here's what I got:

All Xbox 360 Games:

Enchanted Arms - $16
Blue Dragon - $7
Moto GP 07 $16
Blazing Angels 2 - $7


Wow, that's less than $50 for all those games! Sweet sweet. That 20% off was awesome..he even applied to the $10 off games. Man that guy was cool.

P.S. This was the TRU in Columbia, MD and they put all their Xbox 360 clearance games in two bins but there was a lot of Blue Dragon's left, I found at least 2 more on the bottom of them and left them at the bottom. Good luck to all.

Moto GP was actually still in the computer for $39.99 but the guy saw the clearance sticker of $19.99 + 20% off man that was sweet!!!!

[abhinav]

Wow i would so be in for Blue Dragon at that price, Columbia huh...

Yeah it was good times, i had fun. I'll try and come for the next one too, hopefully it's during the summer.

[GenDV138]

Glad to hear you guys had a good time! I hope to be at the next one.

If anyone is looking for Xbox 360 VGA cables or Wiis, the Sterling, VA Toys R Us had quite a few of both. I saw at least 10 Wiis behind the counter on Sunday. They also had quite a few 360 VGA cables for $7.98 (price tagged at $9.98), picked one up for myself.

[dwhelan]

Also glad to hear everyone had a good time -- I think I would have preferred the meetup to the wedding

Anyway, this might only be helpful to MCalvert, but the Gamestop in York (by the Galleria Mall) had 12 Wiis on Sunday. If anyone was looking.

MjC

Please keep us in touch about this. I'd love to join up with a few of you to see what we can salvage. It would be first purchase of water-logged goods.

[FlamingMoogles]

Where is Cmart exactly? Or at least the one with the fire sale.

[MCalvert1]

There's one in the Baltimore area and one in the DC area. I think near FedEx field, but I've never been there. Cleaver has, so perhaps he could elaborate. Their new website just went live, but it seems less useful then their last. The new items go on sale on thursdays, so tomorrow could be the day. I will post the info as I get it.

Edit: For those who have never heard of C-Mart, they are a seconds store for all kinds of random things. Much of their stock is bought from insurance companies. At least 2 times in the past they have sold what was left of the inventory of a Gamestop that was damaged by fire. Most everything was soaked from sprinklers or fire hoses, and aired out. So if this is the same situation, expect used games to have wrinkled up inserts and manuals. In the past, they priced everything at 50% off Gamestops price. Last time they even had a good stock of consoles, new and used. However, the current gen ones sold within minutes of the store opening.

MjC

[MCalvert1]

Ok, nothing going on today from the looks of the ad in The Sun. I'm guessing next thursday. Ad only mentions Wiis and LCDs. Probaby a different situation than the water damaged Gamestop inventory.

Also, apparently the Landover location closed last month. So only the Joppa, MD (Baltimore) location still exists. But they are planning on having their inventory available online, so everyone may be able to get in on these deals. I guess we'll see.

MjC

[cleaver]

Cleaver is the man. I highly recommend his football acumen.

Thank you; my logic is that I'd rather assume Devin Thomas's contract than just about anyone else in the draft. i.e. would you rather have Thomas at 4 years, $4 million or Jake Long at 5 years, $57.5 million?

[jmiller80]

I'm sorry I missed the meetup and the elusive abhinav. Sounds like another good time for everyone. (It's been a busy month, and I had to work through that weekend.)

I stopped by there this past Saturday. The store seemed to have more DVDs than games and the owners(who I assumed were the middle aged couple behind the counter) didn't even speak. I thought perhaps they were just busy, but when I asked a question and was met with rolling eyes and a sigh, I just left. One would think that in a world where Mom and Pop stores are becoming extinct that 'Mom' and/or 'Pop' would provide the customer service that the big stores wouldn't.

[lurknomore]

...and that's the reason that I no longer go there. They can be ornery with certain people.

[FlamingMoogles]

haha I can see that actually. For some reason they seem to like me at least. Anyone know of other similar stores though?

[jgamezcua]

...and that's the reason that I no longer go there. They can be ornery with certain people.


Same deal with me. Checked it out a couple of times but got the ornery attitude.

Shame really, I try to support local stores (especially for gaming/media) but not worth the trip.

[MCalvert1]

Hey if anyone wants a sealed copy of FF IX: Revenant Wings DS, I found one at Target for $20. Let me know, and I'll sell for cost + tax + shipping. Otherwise, it's going back to the store for someone else to find. Thanks!

Head up everyone. I stopped off at the Best Buy in Fairfax this afternoon (Fair Lakes/Oaks) and at the 360 section endcap, they had about 12 Halo 3 legendary editions, plus the strategy guide for $60. Maybe not a huge deal, but not bad considering its original retail price.

This is more than likely a manager special.

Huh, I've never seen this place, yet I apparently live 4.17 miles away. Is this in the shopping center that is across the street from the one with Giant, Blockbuster, Hungry Howies, and a pet supply store? Is there a McDonalds in the parking lot?

[dwhelan]

Hey all, I know the last meet up was pretty recent, but I figured I would throw this out there. PLAY! is coming to the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra on July 18th, at the Meyerhoff concert hall. I am getting a group of friends together to go and figured I would see if any of my fellow CAGs are interested.

Info is here --http://www.play-symphony.com/index.php

And ordering is here -- http://www.bsomusic.org/main.taf?p=1,1,1,2&PerfNo=7336

Hey Tiny! I would be interested in that, but I'll be in St Thomas that weekend.

After this weekend, July is pretty open for me.

[jmiller80]

Something is in the midst...let's start talking about possible free weekends, and then I'll make an announcement.

July 12 works for me. Also, the three "middle" weekends work in August. I can't make anything else in July or August.

Anyone else going to PAX?

[MCalvert1]

I don't expect to have any free weekends in July, but there will probably be a couple of dates in August that would work for me. I'll have to check back in later.

Also, I check out that Airsoft place in Rockville. Tactical Airsoft Arena. It was pretty good. Nice selection of rental guns, good protective equipment. Prices were not bad at all, especially if you don't need to rent any gear. The playing area was designed well enough, but it is fairly small. And there's still plenty of construction stuff lying around in unused areas. It's new, and I'm sure they'll have that sorted out soon enough. The guy who appeared to be the owner was pretty cool. I found his description of the rules to be pretty entertaining.

It looks like this is where all the NoVA people migrated to (the one in the Southeastern region is pretty empty) so I guess I might get a better answer here.

Can anybody recommend any major (well, doesn't have to be major in size, but in content) video game/anime specialty stores around the area. I live in Ashburn, VA (which is surrounded by a bunch of bigger cities (Leesburg, Chantilly, Sterling), but doesn't have much in itself) and I've gone exploring myself a bit. I've found eStarland in Fairfax, VA (which is a nice little store with a good selection of everything) and Anime Pavilion in Falls Church, VA (great store for manga/DVDs). I went searching for other ones, but the only other one of any significance was Anime World in Chantilly, and to be honest, it paled in comparison to the previous two stores. If anybody knows and can recommend any stores within an hours drive from Ashburn, that'd be great.

[lurknomore]

Omnislash124, I don't know if I can be of any help...as I just don't think that there are any great video game stores in the DC metro area. Welcome to this thread, as we certainly welcome Northern VA CAGs.

Anyhow, just wanted to report that in Lakeforest Mall, Gaithersburg, there is a new foreign DVD shop, called Foreign Cinema...it specializes in Asian martial arts/import DVDs. It is an interesting shop with Anime, swords, etc. I cannot vouch for the authenticity of all of the materials sold though. I personally had my doubts but they re-assured me many times over.

Will post again.

Microcenter is somewhat ok, but their staff and management has become mostly useless in recent years. eStarland's hole in the wall shop is good and their Saturday specials can be really good sometimes. Ashburn is still a developing area (my brother works out there).

[G-Nitro]

Anyhow, just wanted to report that in Lakeforest Mall, Gaithersburg, there is a new foreign DVD shop, called Foreign Cinema...it specializes in Asian martial arts/import DVDs. It is an interesting shop with Anime, swords, etc. I cannot vouch for the authenticity of all of the materials sold though. I personally had my doubts but they re-assured me many times over.

Will post again.

If it's anything like Foreign Flix, half the movies are prolly bootlegs. And I've had problems trying to get the DVDs to work from FF. If you do buy anything from there lurk, let me know, cuz I would def check it out.

[Omnislash124]

Thanks for the suggestions. Microcenter seems to be a good place to check out, even if everything I see is retail price. Assuming we're talking about the one this Microcenter (http://www.microcenter.com/index.html), and better yet, there's supposedly one in Fairfax, which is around the area of eStarland and Anime Pavilion. If I'm feeling brave, I might venture up to Maryland. Gaithersburg's not too far away either. Maybe an 50 minutes to an hour?

And yeah, Ashburn is still in the process of developing. LOTS of wide open spaces just sitting there. It's lacking some shopping centers. Sadly, the closest Gamestops/EB/BB/CC/TRU are all in neighboring city Sterling.

These days Microcenter can be good for spare parts, however they tend to be very competitive with Newegg and last time they told me that they will MATCH newegg if they offer something cheaper than what MC has to offer.
They do trade in's at the fairfax location, however don't expect great deals or prices for trade in's these days. In the beginning they had some great promos, including trade any 9 games (no matter what generation as long as it was in their system) and you get an extra 25 back over your credit.
I would suggest signing up for their monthly sales ad.

I suggest going their on Satudays in the mid after noon as you can swing by the Estarland store for the saturday specials then hop over to MC a few miles away.

[Omnislash124]

Are eStarland's Saturday deals posted online? I never noticed they had them.

[FlamingMoogles]

So for any NoVa cagers just lettin you know, even though i reside in montgomery village; my girlfriend lives in Leesburg....so if anyone is up for some trades or anything just let me know! Cause i'm down there alot.

I had a pretty fucked up convo with the Rockville manager - he wouldn't budge. I was trying to get them to match mobo prices, I'm talking literally $120-150 over Newegg. Apparently the best he could do was still $50 more than Newegg's - and he told me "take it or leave it". Truly wtf moment for me.

Manager's pretty much a dbag to put it bluntly. If you are able to get anything out of him, I commend you.

FYI, Germantown Walmart has 2 eye of judgement fromt the recent "nationwide, ahem cough cough" drop.

UNFORTUNATELY, they're ringing up 69.99. Of course, when I went to ring up, it was the floor manager who rung me up. I mentioned to him that I thought the price may be incorrect and he said "yeah, this item is deleted and dropped in price but we have the discretion of accepting the price drop. Our store isn't going to adjust the price to $29."

WTF!!! Maybe some other CAG will get lucky and score it for $29, but don't get your hopes up at the Germantown Walmart :(

If anyone is interested, I have four Redskins (v. Bills) tickets to this Saturday's preseason game. I also have a parking pass (Green lot). The tickets are Section 106, Row 28, Seats 17-20. PM me and we can talk specifics. I am in the Silver Spring, MD area.

[Shadowguitar]

I would've KILLED to have had those tickets! I actually went to the game, but was up in the nosebleeds. We did have an orange parking pass, which rocked. Usually we're in the blue lot or something.

Most likely I'll be out of town. But speaking of plans and all, does anyone have any interest in doing another meetup in September? My schedule really opens up starting September 13th. We could certainly do D&B again, or something else. I've played Airsoft at that place in Rockville that Lurk was talking about a while back. It's on the smaller side, but it's pretty cool, resonably priced, and has great rental guns.

Post what your available dates are and we can narrow in on one of them. Looking forward to more good times with the CAGs!

Some of us over at the Goozex side of the the house are looking into Saturday, September 20th, possibly at Arundel Mills this time, to accomodate the ones closer to Baltimore this time around, since it's always been a hike for us to White Flint. I'll post more details once it's confirmed

Does anyone know the name of the small chain of game stores up closer to Baltimore? I got my GTA IV there awhile back and wanted to check them out again. They had all kinds of stuff, CDs, books, movies, games. And I think they did trade ins, too. But I can't remember the name for the life of me.

[jmiller80]

The Anne Arundel D&B is a little far for me, but a NoVA carpool sounds like a good idea. Have we settled on a date yet? (9/13 is bad for me.)

Just back from PAX. In case you haven't heard, PAX East is coming March 2010 in Boston.

Looks like I'll have to pass on this one if it's 9/20. We are having our baby shower that day and it would cause *mucho* problems if I 'ran off with those gamers' ;)

That would be Power Gamer. Several of the locations have closed, but the ones in Glen Burnie and Reisterstown are still open.

Yeah, 9/20 is a bad day for me as well now (Seriously, my friends have to stop getting engaged:)) But the end of the month is looking better.

Also, any idea where we are going?

I would be available on 9/20 for either location, or another date in Sept if 9/20 wouldn't work out. I think it would be good to decide on a date and location soon.

That is a shame you guys won't be able to make it to my last DC meetup. I figured I would tell everyone there, but I am no longer going to be Delaware -- you will have to call me Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. I have accepted a job at HB Studios as a project coordinator. I move to the great white north, at the end of the month to start making games.

Thanks to everyone who came out today and for some making the extra time for a trip up to Arundel Mills. It was a blast seeing many people again, as well as meeting new faces.

A nice sendoff to Tiny who is off to Nova Scotia for work, and thanks for throwing some freebies out there late. Also thanks to Mafafu who kindly brought some Gamestop handouts, and made a nice 2 hour drive.


A big thanks to NinjaJ & BlackCoyote of Goozex for giving everyone who attended a free Goozex shirt, we shall wear them proudly.


As I stated to everyone at the event, we will be holding a Maryland/DC/Virginia meet every quarter wth the next one coming in January closer to the DC area. If anyone knows of a good location with a large enough space, feel free to PM me the info, or your AIM/MSN name or ask for mine, so we can discuss it in further detail.



Current ideas outside of White Flint are Northern VA and Frederick, MD

Look forward to the next meet!

Thanks to G-nitro for putting this all together. I will try to make it down for the next one.

Anyone going to the Monday midnight launch of FO3?
I was perusing Rockville BB for an actual, functioning GH:WT drum unit (that failed). That ended up with the employee talking about how kids are chewing on the drumsticks, girls dropping the guitars for no reason...but ended up with the guy advertising the FO3 launch.

How GH:WT >> FO3 is connected, I'll never know. But apparently, Bethesda will be there with Game Dir, Lead Producer, Artist, and Designer. I wasn't into all the hype, but I suppose an autographed copy of FO3 could be useful someday.

I'm not a overly active contributor to CAG but I do lurk. Anyway, because of an upcoming move I've decided to sell off a great deal of my video game collection. It consists of PS3, PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii/GC games. So far I've posted the PS3 and PS2 games:

Besides that, I'm asking for "Best Offer" not assigning prices to anything. By quoting values I hoped to fend off people who were trying to lowball me. Offering $75 for the entire collection is in no way a fair offer but that's sometimes the type of offer you'll get on Craigslist.

Glancing at your 360 list, most of those have recently been available for $10-20 new. Some were even less because of clearance. $75 is in the ballpark because they are used and because several will be duplicative of the buyer's collection if sold as a group.

You could always do better though. Stuff is always worth whatever someone will pay, and not everyone values stuff like I do. Good luck.

well this thread has all but died. lol Just a heads up to all. Trying to figure out if I'll be able to put together another meet for next month. May have to put it on hold as I am house hunting right now and need to focus on that.

But if something isn't put together for next month, I'll def work out the next meet for late Feb/early March.

I haven't been here (this thread) for some time. Like to help organize another meetup in Rockville (Dave & Busters). Anyone interested? Maybe sometime in late January/early February. I miss them, they were very cool.

I'm looking forward to the next meet. Shoot me a PM if you want any help organizing.
