Blockbuster at Irving Park and Lincoln is closing. Up to 70% off now, with 8 days left.

Anybody have any luck (or tips) on the Kmart stuff? I've been to the ones by the HIP and Lane

Sears at Six Corners has 5 or 6 of the Flip video cameras left at $65 or $68 (can't remember which). But, they are pink. Price is 50% off retail for a great camera, if you don't mind pink.

They also had 5 or 6 Eye of Judgements left, tagged at $30 each.

This is about the 3rd incarnation of some type of game store on Milwaukee in my hood. Maybe this one will survive.
The store had more CD's than used games, but they had games for most systems. Worth a visit if your near Wicker Park.

Hmm. I'm going to be in the South Loop later this afternoon. Might be worth swinging by there just to take a look if nothing else.

I went here for the first time today and boy, was it awesome!! They actually had 4 Sega CD titles for super cheap that I picked up. Definitely one of my new favorite stores!

Oh and btw, I'm new to the CAG forums. So, hello!

K-Mart on Addison had 1 Vision cam ($10) and 3 Intercoolers ($5) yesterday.

The Exchange is going to be there for awhile. It's not like previous used games stores like Disc Replay where prices are based on titles no matter how many copies they have. The Exchange's prices are based on inventory. I've picked up many good titles for $10, $8, or $5 over the years. I'm originally from Ohio and they ran their first store over 30 years ago in Akron, OH - home of LeBron James. They've grown all over NE Ohio and in the last 10 years opened 11 stores in the Pittsburgh area. The franchise has finally made it to Chicago, but a year late. They were suppose to open last Fall. I thought I would give this store some credibility for new CAG's who have never heard of it since I have benefited from them for so many years. It's a legit place that's going to be here for a while. It's actually Gamestop's biggest competitor in the NE Ohio area. I have found that sometimes you can find some really good PSX games for cheap. But some games are still overpriced like FFVII or anything by Square Enix or Atlus.

I just visited this store yesterday. Nice and clean, and the titles are well-organized. Check it out, people! I almost bought an Elvis action figure.

The HPB in Village Crossing has some rare-ish PS2 rpgs in the locked cabinet but some are bizarrely priced. The have a copy of Summoner for $125, The Bouncer for 25, Shadow of Destiny for 40. There was a copy of SMT Nocturne for $15 but it only has the soundtrack in there. Also, still a black label FF7 for 80.

I thought the black label FF7 was a ripoff at $50, less 30% e-mail coupon. Why would they increase the price when you can now get the game on the PSN for much, much less?

You may be right about that. I was thrown off by the Summoner price. Speaking of those coupons, I forgot to return/rebuy a guide I found at the Bloomingdale HPB (which has a large selection of gaming stuff) with the 50% coupon. It was only 8 bucks tho. I still need to get out to the Countryside one. Lastly, I think HPB gets the games that Big Lots gets in other states. 'Cause I've found jackshit at the closest BLs.

Went to the Best Buy on Elston and noticed a Manager's Special dump bin filled with games. Of note: Saint Row 2 and COD:WaW special editions. Prices were marked down 5-20 bucks depending on the game.

Barnes & Noble on Webster has the Criterion films 50% off. Just got back, spent more than I expected to.

Any chance you could post a list of what you bought or saw?

So who is going to the Chicago comic-con (WWC)?

I'll be there Friday morning. Always a good time. Always spend more than I should.
