Yep. Tons of Prince of Persia as well.

Prince of Persia 30.00

I went earlier this week, Wednesday, and yeah... sparse. All games were in one aisle. Lots of PSPs. Lots of guides left, so I'm thinking of grabbing a couple. Maybe find the odd game for PS2, or finally pick up that copy of Shadow of the Colossus I wanted.


BTW:

Is there any CC still with a nice stock of games? Preferably 360, DS, and PS2. Also accessories and maybe point cards?

Wow. I'll take a $30 Xbox 360 Fallout 3 Lunchbox edition. Anyone seen a CC that still has plenty of them?

What about the PS3 version? Was there lots of those too at Berwyn? Either the lunchbox, or the regular edition.

I saw 2 or 3 Lunchboxes. I didn't look through the games so I can't tell you if there were any regulars.


I'm getting ready to do a run right now... anyone knows which CC to hit?

If anyone is looking to sell a PSP for a fair price PM me. I'll pay cash. It is fine if it has been hacked, in fact I would prefer one that is hackable. I'm going to make a desktop internet radio out of it.

Just got back from the Circuit City at Wolcott and Fullerton. Not much going on, several copies of Far Cry 2 for 360, Pokemon Dungeons. I grabbed the last copy of Apollo Justice for DS.

Pretty much. I ended up picking up Barnyard Blast which will probably get gifted. Just waiting for the external hard drives to drop, and the strategy guides to drop down. and maybe pick up a DVD here and there.

Anyone knows of a CC worth going to?

Was at the Highland Park Half Price Books earlier tonite. Much less of a vg selection than the Niles location, but I picked up FEAR for 4 bucks.

Pizza lovers, do yourself a favor and order from these guys. Hands down, best pizza I have ever eaten. If you live in Chicago you MUST order from here. They recently moved to a new location and they say business is down, which is a shame. Try them out!! If you like them, spread the word.

Do they buy/sell game guides? I heard someone talking about that place in the guide thread.

Really never heard of them.

Just came back from the Berwyn CC. Not much games at all. They had a couple PSP games. I think I saw a couple DS games. But most were PS3 games. None interested me.

Cool, they're not too far from me. I will report back; I'm always trying to cultivate my inner foodie. Speaking of restaurant business being down, my favorite cheap Middle Eastern place that delivers (Sahara Kabob 6649 N. Clark 773 262-2000 - Assyrian Briany FTW!) was in TimeOut Chicago's "Save this Restaurant" column a few months ago. They give you a ton of food for a moderate price, it tastes homemade, and sometimes they throw in free stuff they're testing for their menu (like spanikopita).

With Half-Price Books, the way they buy is that they give you an offer on the whole of what you bring in. They don't tell you what each item is worth to them. Sucks, but I'm sure it's because it wouldn't be cost-efficient for them to do otherwise. I recently sold two shopping bags full of old textbooks and paperbacks, a bag of old VG mags and a crate of old Architectural Digest mags I found by the trash and only netted $17.50.

HPB does sell game guides and games but selection is hit or miss. No penny guides; usually exactly half off the printed price. Most of the games are in a locked cabinet with low visibility and I hate bugging staff to open if I'm not gonna buy something.

tl;dr whee!

I'd love to take that off your hands but the only thing I have that you want are the blu ray movies. And I'd like to hold on to them.
