Nevada anyone?

[mr ryles]

I'm from Winnemucca NV. For those who don't know that is in Northern Nevada. Not much deals going on here though.

[notorious_pip]

[mr ryles]

Carson, represent? Yeah, something like that.

[VegasRobb]

Las Vegas!

[mr ryles]

really I never would of assumed that from your name. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[notfromtexas]

I live part of the year in Vegas for work, about 4 months altogether, live in North Las Vegas.

[Spacepest]

I live in Las Vegas too (ex. Californian originally). I'm in northwest Las Vegas.

[mr ryles]

if any fellow nevadians are looking for 360 the wal-mart up here in winnemucca has 2 cores in. at least for the time being.

[Dhuk]

I am from LV, actually Henderson.

I bet you Carson guys find things with ease. :)

[Chris in Cali]

I used to live in Carson, and in Lake Tahoe.

[hAPNIN]

Las Vegas here also, Green Valley Ranch

[lvgamer1]

In case the lv didn't give it away.....

I'm not paying $50 for a game every again......o.k. maybe when FFXII comes out.

[twhi1974]

Vegas here as well, northwest area.

[mentos888]

from vegas here, too. who here got any TRU 9.99 games? I got nothing. Did anyone get digital devil saga?

[lvgamer1]

nope..no digital devil saga.....i really wanted that game too...
no way i'm paying 60-70 used for it though.
I have Nocturne and guide ....great game

FYI CircuitCity's in town are still running the clearance thing.
I just picked up XIII and SIren for $13 together.
There's a couple more games I would like to get...
I've checked out the Centennial one and the Trop and Eastern one, and it seemed like most of the (cheap) clearance stuff was gone.
Probably gonna check out the Sahara one tonight.

I'm in the NW area also...Cheyenne and 215.

[greyzieoriental]

i wouldnt waste my time on the one on sahara the biggest hoarders start off there, now that sales have been going on i havent been able to get anything and its barely worth trying anymore, and no one said shit about the b1g1 free sale that kb was having at the meadows mall, and probably other malls as well, but i went to the meadows and they said they have no more games cuz the sale and i'm sure i check the whole kb thread and not one word, aint no help from Vegas ppl and probably FW ppl hoarding but then again i believe i met a CAG hoarding one time as well

the only sales i'm getting into now is the sales that are the ads at best buy, other than that everything else(thats worth getting)seems to be gone b4 the sales begin

[mentos888]

i missed the kb sale, too and i missed out on dds.

the guy @ tru said there was only 1 copy left of DDS there when the 9.99 sale hit. he said they only had about 7 copies when the game first came out and most of em were bought @ that time. aaarrgh!

[lvgamer1]

that sucks.....

although not the cheapest games on the list, I did find a lot of Silent Hill4 at the Sahara CC, and a lot of POPWW at the trop and eastern CC.
XIII are everywhere.

well, i'm gonna check out the k-mart thing (one store) this morning.

If I find anything good, I'll post.

[lvgamer1]

I just hit the Kmart on north Rancho.

I got the eye goove w/ camera for $15.00+taX.

They had one left when I left.

[mentos888]

anyone find downhill domination at any circuit city's?

[Dhuk]

Oh man, I just read about the CC deal. I have been playing RE4, and the only time I go on the net for videogame related stuff is to look at FAQS. Not that I don't want to come here, it's just not on the mind at the time. lol.

Yeah, I remember last years CC deal. Scalpers and hoaders were all over it. It's like we have about 6 people who post here, versus the 20 or so who lurk. Plus it dosen't help we live in a city of tourism.

[Spacepest]

the guy @ tru said there was only 1 copy left of DDS there when the 9.99 sale hit. he said they only had about 7 copies when the game first came out and most of em were bought @ that time. aaarrgh!


Haha, I got one of those copies. I bought it a few days before the sale was announced on this site. Cheapass that I am, of course I took it back and got it price adjusted. Talk about lucky timing, it was like the gaming gods gave me $45 back a couple days before Xmas.

So yes, to answer an earlier poster's question, someone DID get a $9.99 copy of DDS1 in this town, SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY LIVED HERE. Whoohoo! Now if the damned tourists would just stick to shopping at Fry's, we might actually get some more deals in this town.

[kilatofu]

Reno here...not much deals here....Toys R us sucks over here, and when there are deals, workers don't even know whats going on usually, and when there is a special deal...all the good stuff is gone.

[mentos888]

hey, if anyone wants taiko drum master, they have several (3-4?) sealed boxes @ the s. decatur gamecrazy up on the shelves. they're still labeled 49.99 for some reason (supposed to be 17.99)

just curious, anyone get any good gamecrazy hauls?

Only thing I wanted to get was Time Crisis 3 with the gun, but nothing. Not sure if it was sold out prior to the sale? I know the one GC near me didn't get much stock after Christmas. Maybe someone cleaned house.

1) Anyone know which Gamestops/Ebgames let you purchase penny guides here in town? All the ones I’ve been too are strict about it.
2) Best Buy was usually very lazy when it got to penny guides, but lately they’ve trashed them the very first day they drop. Btw, this is the Best Buy on lake mead.

Anyhow to answer your questions:

1) Very Good questions. I haven't found one that will let me buy any yet.
2) All Best Buys suck.

mentos, do you know if the TRU out by the meadows still has Geist?

And any Vegas CAG know of any RE4 Collector's Edition $29.99 at any Vegas Gamestop? That'd be very helpful.

[uli2000]

Im up in Ely. We've got nothing here. I have to go to Vegas or SLC to buy most anything.

You know, Vegas might not be too bad if it weren't for the fact that this place has to be the Allergy and Sinus Infection Capital of the World. Fuck, I never had allergy problems until I moved out here.

I wonder how many of the "drug related deaths" out here are due to allergy sufferers overdosing????

[lvgamer1]

Has anyone in Vegas ever seen any marked-down games at the Targets in town??

Is there a specific Target in town that has a lot of these?

I hit a few in town about a month ago, and I never saw anything...

I live in henderson, and when ever I take the 215 to work, vegas is alway in a big dark cloudy mess, thanks to the traffic and construction.

So with that, All the constant construction going on is probably to blame for your allergies, with all the dust and debree/particles they kick up. They're supposed to water it down so it dosen't become air born. They rarely do.

yeah, that's a pretty good deal. there's slews of 360 at Targets (green Valley).

Best Buy pulled the cheap games?

[mentos888]

the one on rainbow didn't have any clearance games. not even the plastic price tags were left on the shelves. ;(

[lvgamer1]

For anyone's that's interested...

I just got DDS1 from the Game Crazy on Bonanza and Eastern for $15.00 plus tax. Maybe i shouldn't brag until I see if it actually plays.....

Anyway, when I called to see if they had it (they said yes), I asked them to hold it, and the guy working there said not to worry, they had a few copies of it.

It's quite possible that they have some other hard to find titles (used at least). I guess there was some sort of situation where the manager forgot to renew their 'secondary dealer' liscence and they basically had to pull all used titles off the shelf. When I got there, there were STACKS of used PS2 games behind the counter.

I stood, watched and waited while the guy dug out a copy of DDS1.

Hope this helps someone.

Are there any good game repair stores in Vegas? I seen a few in the yellow pages, but I was not too sure how reliable they are.

Thanks,

[mentos888]

maybe game repair? haven't tried them. i think they're the only ones in town (2 locations). but their customer service is rude everytime i've dealt w/em.

[pkmn-source]

any DS Lites popped out in Las Vegas area?

[Pbear1212]

If you are looking for one still, the target on spring mountain and rainbow had a ton of them last night.

[mentos888]

anyone interested in joining the official Vegas chapter for the International Game Developers Association? I went to the last meeting last night and it was pretty awesome. You get to talk with people who have worked in the industry and basically have a cool workshop.

There's only a few of us, but the coordinator is looking to expand for those interested in talking about games! I don't work in the games industry yet, but i love talking about games and the latest trends, etc. Newcomers welcome!

Heh, that practically when the Wii comes out.

[Dhuk]

So who here got a PS3 or Wii?


There is one GS still accepting Wii pre-orders (32 total), but very few spots left, PM me. I might give my Wii spot to whom ever needs it. I can get a discount at BB. I don't think ti will be hard to find either.

[mmn]

I heard on the news, that the Maryland Besy Buy was allowing people to buy 2 PS3s? Thats insane BS, probably one of the Managers buddies.


I stopped by the Sony store in the forums shops to visit my friend for a bit, WHAT A MESS. They say they got around 32 systems, but only allowed like 8 people in from outside (around 100 people). Someone said they saw Nick Cannon, no Dane Cook?!!? So who got treated, the High Rollers and other BS, I guess if you're a rich ass hole that spend millions in that casino, you get first dibs.

Anyways, I got my PS3 from EB. :D

Next up is my Wii-Pre-Order from Eb as well. ZELDA!!

[Dhuk]

Found a whole slew of Wii's today, PM me if you want to know where. Also came across 3 60G PS3s at Kmart on Boulder/RaceTrack. They're hidden in the back near the clearance game stuff.

I'm in Reno right now going to UNR. I can't find shit for PS3s or Wiis. I'm constantly searching though. I'll let you guys know if I get lucky or if I see any available.

I think TRU has a $100 GC with a purchase of a 360. Circuit City also has a Gift card deal on the 360.


You can always find great deals on craigslist or ebay also.

Anyone find anything good at Best Buy with the clearance going on? I went to Sunset BB during my lunch break, and first off... their selection sucks, and pretty much what they had was cleaned out.

If anyone finds Onimusha Dawn of Dreams and Final Fantasy 4 advance I would be most grateful.

Long time Cag listener/lurker and just wanted to say high to all of the Nevadans!

There's a GameStop down on Las Vegas Blvd & Cheyenne and I like to go to a location used game shop called Game Repair on Nellis and Harris. You can always try the Wal-mart by the base. I dislike going to the Game Stop on Cheyenne because the neighborhood has gone sour in the past few years.

Question to the Las Vegas CAGS, has anyone ever setup a get together for some gaming?

I'm from Winnemucca NV. For those who don't know that is in Northern Nevada. Not much deals going on here though.

Also, for a small town Winnemucca had some really awesome arcade machines. My brother and I had to install a few ATM's for one of the Casino's and hotels throughout town and we were just floored by how many good Neo-Geo machines were in each of the small hotels and casinos. I would mind living there when I retire in 50 years or so.

[punkmaggit]

Um, hi.

NW Las Vegas and unfortunately the gamestop on Rainbow & Cheyenne seems to get alot of business from me. When I find somewhere else close that sells used games at a decent price, I"l make the change.

FYI guys,

I called PlaynTrade yesterday and they might be getting Smash Brawl in early tomorrow, and will sell early. They're also holding a tournament tomorrow.

Amen brother! They do suck around here. One Target that does have the clearance prices if they have the games is the Target off of Nellis & Charleston. My fav Wal-Mart to go to is the new one on 215 & Decatur - they sometimes have good deals even though they are brand new. I just really like that they have a dedicated clearance section in both electronics and the main store.

i think the problem with Vegas is that everything is usually sold out before it gets to clearance. Even still I have had some luck here and there finding things on clearance which ring up right.

[driph]

Just realized that I'd never posted in this thread... hey all!

[greyzieoriental]

i dont think it has to do with our targets or whatever not having any clearance items, i jus think there are a shit load of hoarders in Vegas, or FW people.

But yea i got my component cable from TRU in henderson for $10, i couldnt believe there were so many about 15+, also the VGA's are $10, thinking about maybe picking one of those up for my monitor..maybe

[punkmaggit]

There's a "Mike's Game World" on the corner of Las Vegas blvd. and Pecos that has some older stuff - the only thing worth mentioning is the 2 sealed Taiko Drum Master sets with drums. Unfortunatley they're both $40.00. (I wonder if I could talk him down?)

[Dhuk]

We don't just have local hoarders to contend with, but cali and AZ too. If this city wasn't based on tourism, you'd probably find things alot easier. But also, alot of people here who are poor and only buy games when they do go on clearance.

[punkmaggit]

^^^ That's true. Has anyone found any good local pawn shops? I know we mostly have the "Pawn Place" franchise where PS2/GC/XBOX games go for $10 (although you can usually talk 'em down).

PS1 and lesser generational stuff are rare nowadays.

Oh, and we have no decent Salvation Army stores. At least none of them that I've been to.

Im in Vegas as well, I went to the Play N Trade on Eastern and the guy who owns it said the people of this new store are assholes. He said that he offered them a look at his store to see how things run because he had heard they sell scratched games and give bad customer service. Of course this could just be the ramblings of a man trying to keep me coming to his store and not the other one in town as they are all indepently owned but just a word of warning.

[willowmistfactor]

Pawn Plus, the locations off of Boulder Highway and Basic area and the new one on Horizon Ridge Pkwy and Horizon. These 2 pawn shops have a great huge pile of original Xbox and a decent stack of PS2 games for sale. All their games go for 6 dollars each. Always check the quality of the disc before buying of course as I have seen some scratched games but I did get Legend Of Zelda - Twilight Princess for the gamecube perfect condition at the Boulder Highway store the other week for 6 dollars.

Is this off of Boulder Hwy & Charleston? Yes, it's true that they have a decent selection of games, but it's really hit or miss and the gas is a killer. That being said, I did pick up a minty MGS3: Subsistence for $10 from them.

Also, there's a decent one off of Washington & Buffalo. They carry decent PS3 & 360 titles but are a little overpriced. Almost grabbed MGS:The Twin Snakes from them but they had priced it at $20. WTF??

FYI - there's one or two $199.99 360's at the Galleria mall in Henderson. Picked mine up today! I'd rather see it go to a CAG'er than anyone else. Best of luck!

I went to the Pawn Plus store on Horizon Ridge, it had a few PS3 titles, mostly sports. All 6 bucks. Forgot about the one on basic.

Awesome store for music though if you haven't been there.

Also, I just stopped by the gamestore on Lake Mead by wal mart in Henderson today. It used to be a GameCrazy with Hollywood Video, but now it is Mark's Video and I think the gaming section is called GameRush.

They had GH:WT set up (some guy playing the guitar the whole time I was there) and a few of stations with Madden or Naruto set up.

There were some good deals. I picked up Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 for 9.99

Some things I remember were
Eternal Sonata 360 - 8.99
Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise - 19.99
Lego Batman - 19.99

I can't remember any off the top of my head, but there were some more. They had a pretty decent selection of used PS3 and 360 games as well. The PS2 was sort of lacking, but decent.

Will stop by again soon, I think.

I own a home in Sparks, off Exit 21. :) I just hate finding golf balls all over my backyard because of the Golf course behind it.

Was just about to ask about this. A couple of the Game Crazys (around 7 according to their store locator) around here seem to have closed along with Hollywood Video and looks like all the ones I've seen so far have turned into Mark's Video and the new game place is called Game Tag.

Was gonna ask if anyone's visited the place and what the place was like. Sounds decent enough to check out by what your saying.

They have a website, but doesn't seem to be working right now.

Thats what was going on over there in the Henderson Store. I seen the construction. Are they taking over all the hollywood videos in the pacific south region? Also, whats happens if you have store credit with GC? (not me)

I also need to hit up some radioshacks. Been so busy.

I may have to stop in there, since it is right down the street from me.

[greyzieoriental]

I believe the Gamecrazy/Hollywood Video conversion to Mark's Video and Gametap happened about a week after Too Human came out. I received a flyer from them giving me $50 off any used game.

If Lego Batman and Eternal Sonata are that sheap I may have to give it a visit, those are some great prices.

[Dhuk]

have any of you found any good 3.99 pick-ups at HW over by Nelis?

[Liu Bei]

Checked one out today, and they have a list of things for sale. There was stuff for all the current systems. I remember stuff like

Zelda: Phantom Hourglass $15
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of time $15
Ninja Gaiden II $20
Heavenly Sword (forgot price)
Super Mario Sluggers $15 I think
Metriod Prime 3 $15

They had a list taped on the counter, and they had a pretty large selection of titles on it. Might not be a bad idea to go and check one out. Although how often you want to shop there...


Also, whats happens if you have store credit with GC? (not me)

Apparently you lose it. The Game Crazy on Lake Mead and Buffalo had someone on the phone complaining about this. From what I overheard, the Game Crazys that got turned into Game Tag turned people's pre-orders and credit into their store revenue or something and people's credit/pre-orders are pretty much gone. The customer on the phone was saying something about signing up for the MVP card, never got one, and apparently can't get one anymore because their Game Crazy is gone. This was apparently the Game Crazy, now Game Tag on Centennial, or somewhere around there.

The Game Tags have been around since at least August according to one employee, so I'm not sure how many people got their stuff screwed over or even know about it, considering how long they have been around now.

wow, talk about screw over if true. I think all GC's in our valley have turned into GTs. I still wanna check them out. Sounds like you got some good deals. Are the PH numbers still the same as GC?

[Liu Bei]

It might be. The Game Tag I went to (Craig and Simmons), the phone number on the receipt is 702-631-3567. A Google search of the Hollywood Video in Vegas shows that the one that used to be on Craig and Simmons is the same number, so it looks like they might be the same, at least that one anyways.

[greyzieoriental]

Not all GameCrazys have been converted to GameTap
I have a Game Crazy on Sahara and Durango and the Game Tap is on Trop and Ft. Apache

Here's the Game Tap deals:
All Prices are for NEW/SEALED Games!

Any good stores in the Reno/Sparks Area?

[yukafls]

Like independent stores?? Dont go to Game Force, guys there are dicks. Play and Trade is ok but they gave me weird looks when I went there and kept watching me closely.

[CL-Insanity]

Has anyone done any trading/hunting at Zia Records before? Know what kind of trade in values they give? I've sold them CDs and Vinyl before, but never games, and I almost always forget to check out the video games.

Odds are they are no good I suppose, but you never know?

Awesome store for music though if you haven't been there.

Just was in there today, on my usual hobby/second job thingy. They were still selling Gamecube for 90... Wasn't anything to see as far as games go.

[CL-Insanity]

Speaking of weird stuff... I was going to Del Taco and was about to trade some Super Nintendo stuff in at Game Haven, and a "stereotypical" Mexican guy was asking about Guitar Hero for Playstation 2. I have been around a few corners in my life and was thinking this guy "looks suspect"... and before you knew it he grabbed it and a Guitar Hero for the Xbox 360 and runs out of the store. The guy working there and I give chase, but he had a getaway car and got away in what looked like a Geo Metro with a handicapped sign on the rearview... Keep a lookout...

Man, I can't wait to move away from this city....

[Dhuk]

Yeah, this city has become a bit of a dump. Were like top 5 in the nation when it comes to near all things bad (school system,foreclosures, poor economy,ect,ect).

[royalbliss1]

I agree with the Gameforce comment. The only reason I go in the is to check out NES games. I really like to go to Hit & Run across the parking lot and drool at some of the sports stuff.
I have only been in to the Play and Trade store once. It seemed nice but there was no one else in the store and the 3 guys working there just kept asking if I needed help it was sorta creepy.

[Dhuk]

Quick question,

What stores here buy game guides?

[fizzywix]

The Mark's Video/GameTag is doing 50% off all used PS2/Xbox/GC games now. The one on boulder highway didn't have much that was any good though. Metal Gear Solid: Subsistence was marked around $22. so $11 is a great price for that. Also saw Rogue Galaxy marked 17.99, so i'd buy that for $9 in a heartbeat if i didn't have it.

[Dhuk]

No offense, but those gametag sales kinda suck compaired to previous/ and current sales.

Quick question,

PlayNTrade does, $.50 cents per guide.

I've been there a few times not too bad some good games. It feels like all the stores gamestop and gamecrazy are empty like I can't find anything that interest me or the prices are way to high. The Play and Trade sucks kinda overpriced and nothing really there.

Ha, I gotta go over there and sell a couple of cards I found in a box. Willie Mays ones.

Also, there is a place(if you are in the Reno area) called the Book Gallery that buys them I think. It might just be credit that you get in the store, but I scored a House of the Dead 2 and Zombie Revenge guide out of a box in there.

Well, the stuff they have is ok, but they are dicks about it. My brother(a couple of years back) wanted to get Steel Battalion from them, and he wanted them to hold it aside and think about it and he would come back and get it if he decided he wanted it. But the guy was like "Im only gonna hold it aside if you are going to the bank right now to get the money" Its like, hey way to lose a sale ass.

[punkmaggit]

Hmm, I'm guessing the Play'nTrade that buys the guides for $0.50 is the one down in Henderson? The one at Rainbow & 215 won't. That store is absolute s*** anyway.

How's Game Haven? I might have to check it out one of these days.

[punkmaggit]

I usually don't like double posts but trust me, this one's warranted.

GameTag on 215 & 95 (Target Greatland Center) is having a 50% off used PS2, Xbox, and Gamecube games starting today until... whenever. The sale is okay (walked out with a complete Lost Kingdoms and Shadow of the Colossus (black label)) but the real story is the smoking hot clerk who works there. Seriously. Very... gifted (if you know what I mean). Have fun CAG'ers. ;)

[VipFREAK]

4hrs. Away from Tahoe, but have a cabin there.

[CL-Insanity]

Updating my previous post about "Game Haven" ... After the runout incident that I observed, the guy in there really acts nervous all the time. I don't know if it's me... being black, or maybe he thinks I had something to do with the runout... but he always acts nervous... he fumbled around trying to test a Super Nintendo console that I had brought in, and their trade-in values have suddenly went toFuck. First, if I were a part of a runout plot... it sure as fuck wouldn't have been a Guitar Hero for the Playstation 2.... I don't think I will be going back too often....

[yukafls]

Saw some good things at Play and Trade, boxed N64, non greatest hits Metal Gear Solid for the PS1, and RE Survivor for the PS1. Naturally, I didnt buy them. I am a CAG

[Dhuk]

I went to the Maryland CC by the Blvd Mall yesterday. What a mess, that place has been totally ravaged of anything good. Wish they were still on Eastern :(

[CL-Insanity]

I am thinking about going to Play-N-Trade on my way to work tomorrow....
just to check it out...

Gameworld on Durango and Spring Mountain has some of the best inventory I've seen in a mom and pop operation. Lotsa retro stuff if that's what you're into.

Was going to go to the one on Rainbow.... where is the one on Eastern located?

Eastern between sunset and trop
i think its in the wal-mart shopping center

and that Gameworld be spamming craigslists all day, they have a lot of selection but their prices suck IMO

As for GW spamming CL, flag/report that stuff.

[Liu Bei]

Anyone know what happened to the Gameworld on Charleston? I passed by one day and it was gone. Just wondering if they moved or just closed.

[CL-Insanity]

Where can I find the best "trade-in" prices in Las Vegas?

[CL-Insanity]

Update to the update.... went to Game Haven last night... and find that the "nervous guy" is nervous with EVERYONE. The other two guys are very friendly.

[punkmaggit]

Anyone know what happened to the Gameworld on Charleston? I passed by one day and it was gone. Just wondering if they moved or just closed.

Funny you should mention that. I was at the Open-Air Swap Meet (Pecos & Las Vegas Blvd. - :twoguns:) and was striking out big time when I ran across a lone vendor with a HUGE supply of video games. She looked familiar and it took me awhile, but I finally recognized her as the owner of the GameWorld formerly on Charleston. They had a ton of stuff! I went back two weeks later and they were gone. :bomb: No idea where they went or what happened to their stuff but it was sad to see her go. I thought all the goods would get absorbed into the one up on Durango, but I don't think so.

*side note* Last time I was at the GW on Durango they had the first Ar Tonelico with art book and everything for $35. I should've bought it right then!

Was she blonde? I used to know the owner, sorta. GW on durango is a seperate store, but they were at one time owned by the same guy.


Question, do the CircuitCitys in your areas have any systems or games left? One in henderson has a midismal selection.

[punkmaggit]

Nah, she was this old-ish Asian lady.

The CC I went to (Sahara & Decatur) had a crap selection of games when I last checked (before the 50% off) so I'm not crossing my fingers for anything. What a piece of crap. The Target clearances serve me better than this piss-poor liquidation.

[jimivegas]

anyone in vegas know where i can get street fighter fightpads? i called gametag and the guy said there isnt any within a 160 mile radius of vegas. HaHAhaha.

[greyzieoriental]

I saw a few at frys two days ago. They had chun li, blanka and ken. Let me know if they still have any if you decide to go. I actually want to purchase one now.

Thats not true i found one in Henderson 2 days ago

[jimivegas]

i just called fry's here in vegas and the person i spoke with said they are out of street fighter controllers/sticks. he did check to see when they'll get more sticks in and he said the 28th. so if he meant the 28th of this month, then thats tomorrow. go check it out tomorrow if you dont got a stick. i forgot to ask if they'd be tournament or standard sticks so i dont know. all i want is an akuma fightpad damn it.

I was at fry's yesterday and all they had were the arcade sticks but it was only for ps3 not for the 360 they had about 10 of them but i guess it is possible for them to sell all of them

PS. Also does anyone know if a store is selling halo wars early in Las Vegas?

[jimivegas]

vegas heads, some random gametags got a small shipment of fightpads. i got a ryu pad at the gametag off the 215 and skypointe. only blanka was left as of 9pm tonight. anybody have any luck finding the akuma pad?

[CL-Insanity]

I finally made it to the play-n-trade on Serene... The good point I would like to share is that their prices are very fair. Even seen some old n64 sports games for $.99; which they should be. Other than that, I wasn't very impressed. The guy behind the counter looked and acted like he couldn't care less. He did help me with everything I asked for though. I will give him credit for that.

If it's the same guy who helped me out, then either he was having an off-day or something else was going on because he was more than helpful with me. Even if the store is like 30 miles away from my house :bomb: it's still worth the drive. That reminds me, I should head back there soon. They had a complete Tales of Destiny 2 that I want to pick up (with store credit of course).

[CL-Insanity]

I might go try them again in the morning. They are only about 3 miles from me... I usually do my retro business with Game Haven.... How is play-n-trade with trade ins?

The only thing I've traded there was guides and he was cool-as-a-cucumber when I brought in 50+ guides. :D $0.50 each beats the fuck out of Game Haven.


If you're referring to the Pinball Hall of Fame (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinball_Hall_of_Fame), that's been around for some time now (and worth a visit when you're in town!).

Here are some pics of the new place, S&D's Ultimate Arcade:

http://driph.com/words/2008/10/sds-ultimate-arcade/


Just to follow up on this one: the place closed because the owner was in alot of trouble financially (borrowing TONS of money) and also somewhat of a child molester. :hot: I heard this from my wife's brother who attends school at Durango, so I trust him. Ewww.

[Dhuk]

A friend of mine told me a place called Game Over on Desert inn and Nellis sells retro games. Any of you guys been over there?

[Hyper Bolt]

I've been to Game Over a few times.

Their prices aren't too bad, but sometimes you can get a good deal.
For example, they were selling a black label FF7 for $55(it's gone, don't bother).
Still a bit much for a game that sold almost 10 million copies in the US alone, but hey, it's better than ebay prices.

They don't have too much to chose from for certain systems, but luckily they don't have too many sport games/shovel ware.
You might find a somewhat rare game here and there, but don't go in expecting to find a whole bunch of Atlus games.

I plan to go there more often since they have a game room in the back for fighting games(mainly). They're going to have a Street Fighter 4 tournament this Saturday if anybody's interested. I might go if I can get my joystick and converter working...


Oh, watch out for one thing though. In the dreamcast section, they're selling a copy of Half Life. I haven't told them about that yet, so somebody do the honor? (wikipedia for the uninformed)

I used to work at Target (when I was 16) and we had several sealed copies of the BL FF VII when the price went Greatest Hits. Never to think it would ever rise in value as it did.

Whats wrong with HL for the DC?

[Hyper Bolt]

Half Life for the Dreamcast was canceled a few weeks before it went gold.
So the copy they have is a bootleg, probably a self booting one.

Anyway, I came here to post about another store.
There's this place called Game Repair on Nellis. Forgot the major cross streets, but just check google maps or something.

I was going in expecting a small selection, but they had a LOT in there. I wasn't there to shop for games, so I didn't look around much.
Some prices were high (Vagrant Story for $45?!), but again I didn't look around too much, so maybe prices on other stuff is better.
The cashier was a bit moody, but maybe he was just having a bad day.
But then again they had a bunch of notes saying that they don't haggle...

One thing that makes them awesome though, is that they had cabs of Marvel Vs Capcom 2, Capcom Vs. SNK 2, AND Street Fighter 3: Third Strike!
I had no idea there were third strike cabs in Vegas... The closest thing I've seen is the New Generation cab in Game Works.

It's such a shame that it's pretty far away from me, otherwise I'd go in just to play SF3.

These are NEW, not used prices.

some other stuff, can upload the ad if anyone wants the rest.


also have a coupon for 10% off used games, and buy 2 xbox original and get 2 free used

I will be going down tomorrow to check it out, got this ad at the galleria mall today, they were having a SFIV and GH:WT tournament as well. They were basing their GH tournament on, get this, notes hit. ???? A poor kid played medium and got almost 100% against another kid on hard who got under 60%, but the kid on hard wins because of stupid rules.

[megaprotobass]

I'm interested in what other games they have. Can you upload or PM me the ad? Please? Thanks :]

[fizzywix]

Yeah I'll upload the ad and coupons when I get home from class in a few hours. Don't be hoping for too much though :P

[fizzywix]

I just went to the GameTag on boulder highway near wal mart and picked up the darkness and ninja gaiden 2. I didn't see all of the sale games, but I was in a hurry.

They did have SFIV fightpads, had a chun li and ryu on display, don't know if there were more. They had collector's editions of SFIV as well, plus a ton of CE of other games and strategy guides, which was kind of suprising.

[Dhuk]

Some prices were high (Vagrant Story for $45?!), but again I didn't look around too much, so maybe prices on other stuff is better.
The cashier was a bit moody, but maybe he was just having a bad day.
But then again they had a bunch of notes saying that they don't haggle...
.

Yeah, GR is like game world, overpriced.

Definately post the ad! I'm hoping the price for Dark Sector is for the 360 & the PS3. Probably not though :(

And $1.25 for the Metal Gear Solid 4 guide? I'll be sure to pick up a couple of those! (They're still selling for $7.95 + shipping or $10-ish with free shipping. That's not a bad flip!)

I don't see anything that stands out on that list. Stores have those games for the same price, or cheaper.

Should we start a new Las Vegas thread?

[punkmaggit]

I'm up for a Vegas thread.

[megaprotobass]

Ugh, I really want to get myself a MGS4 guide for that cheap. I'm too lazy to drive to GameTag though, ugh. =___=

And I'm up for a Vegas thread as well. :]

Hmm, I wonder if there's any new deals going on in Vegas. :/ The only deal I got is LittleBigPlanet for $9.99 from the Hollywood Video closing near me. ( Edit: Now, it's completely closed :[ )

Anyone see the Review Journals picks for Best Game Store?

Reader Pick
GAMESTOP
Multiple locations

It’s the one category we agree on every year. You continue to buy your video games here because no place in town can compete with their knowledge. It’s hard to walk into any of the stores — they’re scattered all over town — and find someone behind the counter who isn’t a complete game junkie. You appreciate this quality and so do we. Your next bet, Best Buy, is a distant second.


Staff Pick
GAMESTOP
Multiple locations

We choose GameStop every year, not just for the plethora of selection, but also for the way business is done here. We feel valued as customers and here’s why. If we buy a new game here and decide, within seven days, that it’s not all we expected it to be, GameStop lets us bring it back and get a refund. Plus, we can sell them the games we’ve played to death so they don’t collect dust on our game console. That’s why we can’t imagine going anywhere else.


I'd love to know which stores they are talking about

[punkmaggit]

Went to Zia's today (Sahara & Arville) and saw they had some suprisingly decent prices on some used games:

:ps3:

Street Fighter IV - $30.99
Prine of Persia - $30.99

there were some others, but those struck me as being decent. Heck, if you had 5 other games to trade in at GS, you could make a profit off of SFIV easily.

opps, passed that place and went to that liquidation center you sometimes see advertised on Sahara and Decature. I had to pay 5 bucks just get in, F' that. Place looked like a swap meet.

That wouldn't happen to be the Hollywood on Jones & Cheyenne, would it? I drove by there the other day and was like WTF? They were a great source of income during that last-gen $4.00 sale. Also, the neighborhood's gone to crap, so I can see why.

BINGO! It sure is sad to see one of the closest rental places near me closing down. Meh~ I still got Blockbuster & GameFly.

Hmm, I wonder if anyone knows a good place to buy PS1 games. I'm really getting addicted in buying those classic RPGs (Xenogears especially). <__<;; I also hate people who overprice them (stupid Craigslist D:<) .

DUDE! So you're around that area, eh? I'm literally like 2 minutes away from that HWV.

To answer you question about the PS1 games, try Game Repair on Cheyenne and Tenaya. They've got a decent selection, but you'll be paying ebay prices (seems like all the mom & pop stores are doing that nowadays).

[megaprotobass]

Theres Game Over on Desert inn and Nellis. Theres also the PlaynTrade stores.

Theres one store I have never been too, but was told they carry old ps1 games. Mikey's East. (4685 E Boulder Hwy)

Try Game Haven on Eastern in front of the Walmart off Russell.

By the airport? That place sucks balls. I've only gone there twice, but it's sucked both times. Pathetic selection and everything mostly in terrible condition. They give shitty trade in credit, but hey they took in guides so I was able to trade in tons of guides (at the time) that I couldn't get rid of and so got Assassin's Creed for pretty cheap at the time.

[megaprotobass]

I wonder who of the guys here went to the BestBuy sale. I was really interested in a few games (DMC4 & IU)... too bad I slept in =____=.

Hopefully, someone successfully got their desired game(s).
**Stories about hoarders are fun to listen to. :]

I didn't bother. None of the titles appeal to me, or I already have the game. PM your way :)

[yukafls]

I went and scored, I think I may have met another CAG, but was not sure

[punkmaggit]

Scored a bunch at the Best Buy on Rainbow/Lake Mead. I went in on Sat. night to check their supply and they had already loaded up all the games on a cart, so I just went through the cart and grabbed the ones I wanted! Bought 'em all that night and went in the next day to price-match. Got all the ones I wanted plus a few extra :).

[punkmaggit]

Stopped by GameWorld last week (nothing else to do :lol:) and found out they're moving to a location on Charleston in-between Jones & Decatur. Sweet! I picked up a SEALED copy of Grandia II ($20), Breath of Fire Dragon Quarter ($15) and King's Field: The Ancient City ($10) while I was there. They must've found some old stock!

Also of note, they had a copy of Suikoden II *droooooooool* last time I was there for $150. Who knows? I might end up trading some stuff in to try and get it!

Swee~eet I can go there after my classes once they open up. :]

Oh, and I did go to Game Repair on Tenaya & Cheyenne. The place looks nice, but the "Game Repair" guy was a bit condescending at first. He was cool after a good conversation about classic games & Working Designs games. Some of his prices are debatable. ^___< /b

[fizzywix]

Oh, about the best buy sale:

I went to BB on sunset about an hour after they opened and was able to pick up Quantum of Solace w/ shirts for 360 and PS3, Bourne Conspiracy ps3 and too human 360.

I was also able to get the super walmart to PM infinite undiscovery and C&C Red Alert 3.

Also, does anyone have any good luck with any of the Target clearances around here?
I try to stop by Lake Mead, Sunset & Stephanie, and the Flamingo Targets every Monday/Tuesday but they are all pretty lame most of the time.


And anyone else think it's about time we had an "Official" thread for Nevada? :P

[punkmaggit]

I call dibs on the Rainbow/Spring Mountain and Cheyenne/Tenaya Targets ... which have been rather crap lately. Missed out on Afro Samurai and Endless Ocean :-(.

Isn't this the official thread for Nevada? I think you're meaning you want an official thread for Vegas?

[greyzieoriental]

About 4-5 years ago, I use to be able to pick up clearance items at Target. Nowadays, I can barely find anything.

And it seems like this thread is basically the Official Vegas Thread.

[Asamiya]

Any more space for another from Vegas?

also Hi, guys!

[megaprotobass]

I was thinking of going to Target at Meadows / Decatur.. too lazy though. :/

It would really be nice to have our own Vegas thread. You know with an actual list of (active) CAGs in Vegas, and other notable stuff posted on the Opening Post.

Meh~ that's just me. Here's me hoping we'd get one. :]

[Dhuk]

I was thinking of going to Target at Meadows / Decatur.. too lazy though. :/


I actually had to go down there to get Folklore for 15 back when they had that $5 off of 25 coupon. They had sooo many, unlike every other target that had none.

But nowadays seems everyone is dropping prices on games.

[punkmaggit]

Just visited the Play'n Trade down on Eastern yesterday (as it's the only one left in town!). Traded ~60 guides and some old PS1 games (Madden '97 FTW!) and ended up with about $28.45 in credit. Bought a fairly decent copy of Tales of Destiny II which ended up only costing about $23 after the credit! :)

Please go in and give the guy that runs that store some business. He's pretty cool.

Heh, another far one. ^___^;;

I tried searching Mapquest & found another Play N' Trade on Rainbow. I wonder if it's still open. (I hate driving to faraway places.. most of the time)

The PnT on Rainbow is now out of business. I drove by there on Monday to find the entire store empty. Talked with the other guy (eastern & 215) who mentioned that he had given the guy some pointers, but he was too thick-headed to heed them. :applause: Oh well. The one on Rainbow was set up in the same center as a Gamestop. :roll: RULE NUMBER 1, if you're the smaller guy, you distance yourself away from the big guy and try to get other business.

[Liu Bei]

I think the PnT on Rainbow opened at around the same time as the Gamestop one; so they probably didn't realize it until it was too late. Course if the owner had an attitude problem like I heard that probably just quickened its death.

One thing I always wondered was why Gamestop opened another GS on Eastern/215 when there was another one on Eastern/St Rose which is like less than a mile away. Trying to sandwich PnT and drive another store out of business?

The Target on Centennial and the 215 Had 5 Afro Samurais as of 7pm last night. Also 3 Scene it Bundles for $27.

Also theres a GameTag in the parking lot(used to be game crazy) they still have original xbox games and you can still trade them in. They all semmed to be $5, also buy 2 get 1 free. The newer games are kinda high, the clerk said if you rent with them(.99cents a day) you get emails for buy 1 used game get 1 free any systems. Just and FYI.

[punkmaggit]

At the Target on Maryland/Flamingo I saw a copy of Star Ocean 2 for the psp down 33%. Hopefully it'll still be there when it hits 75%!!!

Thanks for the info djsmf. With any luck I can swing by sometime soon.

[djsmf435]

I was just at Target this afternoon, and they still had 3 afro samurais and a TON of Smackdowns, all on the back endcaps by the dvds.

Oh, and I've been lurking around BBV thread. I heard about those extremely cheap + quality games = "POG prepack" games. After hours of driving around, I have no luck finding a store that has these "POG prepack" games. D:

GAMESTOP. :lol: I kid, I kid. It really depends on how far you want to go. There's a great store on Nellis and Twain area (Game Repair) that has a s*** ton of all the old stuff. Great if you've got money to burn. Otherwise, try (as much as I loathe them) GameWorld up on Durango in between Spring Mountain and Flamingo. They've got a good selection of stuff, but be prepared to pay ebay prices and above. $120 for Valkyrie Profile? fuck you.

Theres also Game Over_ on S Nellis and Desert Inn and PlayNTrade on S.Eastern. Just google the store names with the street.

[HyperD]

Thanks guys for the suggestions. I'm coming from north of the border so the only major shop here is EB. I'll need to check those places out. Do you guys know of any arcades in the LV area close to the airport?

[megaprotobass]

[ignored]

[greyzieoriental]

Anyone know if there are any arcades in Vegas with SFIV?

[punkmaggit]

I don't think there are any arcades in Vegas anymore (besides the ones in the casinos). Back when Mary Kay's was still around, I used to go there like 3 times a week! Actually beat GigaWing there! :)

From what I can recall, I think GameWorld is going to have a few cabinets when they move to their new location.

Wow Mary Kays, haven't heard that place in a while. When I was young it use to be a great arcade place. Free Play on Christmas too. But later down the line it turned from arcade to PC club. That was like 5 years ago the last time I went. I doubt that place is still around, if it is, it definitely is not an arcade anymore.

I know Orleans doesn't have it. Maybe Gameworks...

Nice job finding all the Gametags. I only knew of one location.

[punkmaggit]

I forget, are all those for new games?! If so, I'm definitely in for a couple copies!

[style_unseen]

Hey everyone. Vegas CAG here!

Went to Target on Rainbow yesterday, and they didn't have too much. I did pickup a Ghost Recon 2/Splinter Cell PSP combo that was marked down to $15. Had several left.

That was pretty much it, besides SFIV, Metallica, and a couple other games for $37.

It's nice(but a little bad...heh) to know there's plenty of CAGs here in Vegas.

[fizzywix]

I forget, are all those for new games?! If so, I'm definitely in for a couple copies!

Yes, they are for sealed games. There was an older list that showed Lego Batman for 9.99 as well, can't find it anymore though, worth checking out in store if you drop in.

[Dhuk]

I didn't know they where moving, to where? Do you know?


I know it's more on the ghetto side of town (inner city). Maybe they could have kept their current spot on durango, if their prices weren't so inflated, to which people actually bought things.

EDIT: I was told it's over on Decature and Charleston?

[punkmaggit]

Saw GT5: Prologue and R&C future: ToD for $9.98 and $14.98 respectively at the store on Cheyenne and Tenaya! Grabbed myself a copy of each so help yourselves! GO GO GO!!!

[fizzywix]

Picked up a copy of each as well at Target on stephanie/sunset thursday night, got the last RaC, there were 4-5 GTs.

Ended up trading in GT for GS credit for the bonus 10 bucks though, tomorrow i go on the hunt for a store with a used ghostbusters

The cross streets are Charleston and near Upland
And I'm pretty sure they have some of the only SF4 arcades in Vegas :applause:
All arcades are 25 cents, also
Plus, they sell YuGiOh, Magic the Gathering, Pokemon, used consoles/games and used dvds
Oh, and it's now twice as big (4 times as big if you include the arcade)

[CL-Insanity]

I will try them out today after work.... I need to stop being so loyal to Game Haven and start shopping around. Maybe I will shop a Mario Kart 64 just to see the price differences...

Mary Kay's is long gone... I loved the place. I hate to date myself... but I remember Third World on Main Street... and was even around during the dying days of the arcade on Fremont next to "The Circus Room" that had the best burgers in town.

"The Pinball Musuem" is open on Tropicana ... but it's for those of us old enough to remember when the confounded things had flippers and plunger do-dads on them!!

[Reiniku]

I stopped by GameWorld's new location today and it really isn't bad. No newer games to speak of but they did have 2 working MvC2 cabs, though the monitor on one was definitely on its way out. They looked like they were still setting up a lot so a few cabinets weren't operational. Decently sized arcade with games I wasn't too excited to play but I did get a kick out of playing Pocket Fighter, almost everything being a quarter was also quite nice.

Grabbed Megaman Anniversary Collection for the PS2 for $12.

I'm officially leaving the Hollywood Video on S. Durango (past the 215) up for grabs. It's too far to drive.

This HWV sale is freaking AWESOME! I'm going to have to post my haul later.

Nice work on the HWV! What stores have you looted so far? Any good selection left??

Hey punkmaggit any extras that you may want to sell? I went to 3 HWVs today and found jack :(
Buffalo/Flamingo, Warmsprings/Durango (the one you said), and Haulipai/Charleston

Workers said they were All cleaned out 1st day of the sale. All i saw tons of old Sports games, tons of Racing games, Alone in the Darks, Frontlines, Mercenaries 2, Sega Tennis, Golden Axes (1 player WTF?!), 1 Two Worlds, 1 Oblivion,1 Burnout Revenge, 1 the club, 1 Blue Dragon, and a bunch of other crappy games, nothing else worth noting, and barely any of them were complete

I picked up some though, nothing great but $5 is so cheap I couldn't resist even crappy games
DBZ:Burst Limit, Spiderman:Friend or Foe, Sonic Tennis/Arcade Compilation

Wish I would've found Mirrors Edge, MGS4, Grid, Eternal Sonata , Lord of the Rings Conquest
Day one would've been awaesome.

You live in vegas, so not are you only competing with locals, but visitors as well.

I was over by that Game Over_ Store on Nelis and Desert Inn. They told me about a BlazBlue tournament next week at 3 pm on Saturday. for those that like that game.
