Rasputin has all 3 in stock...at least 4 of each. $38.98 for the remotes, $18.98 for the other two. Great deal, but they probably won't last long.

Does Rasputin sell Wii games?

I haven't been there in the longest time.

Yeah, but selection is limited...as of about 2 weeks ago.

i think they have literally every Wii game that's out. They're pretty well-stocked with new games, actually...although i don't think they sell a whole lot. They typically get them a couple days after release...although they had FFXII out a few days BEFORE release, so ya never know.

Their games are about $4 off MSRP, so they're decent for games that aren't on sale anywhere else.

Thats true. The problem is the prices do not drop like in other stores.

Still, I shop at Rasputins for the music. It's my favorite music store next to Amoeba.

Very true. Though I have a crapton of old CD's I don't listen to anymore. It would be nice to get a Wii game out of trading those in.

Where is this stuff located? Where they put the games or behind the register?

i find the prices at Amoeba to be higher almost across the board...which is why I prefer Rasputin...

and Amoeba doesn't do games, of course.

They have the Wiimote and other accessories behind the counter, but the games are on the show floor in plastic cases.

Newark Rasputin had Wiimotes and Classics today (3/4/07). All located behind the counter as other posters mentioned.

Campbell Rasputin only had Classics.

Both stores had a solid selection of Wii games and I believe both had most of the Wii games available. Campbell definitely had a better selection of the two.

I was able to pick up Sonic and The Secret Rings at the Campbell location. Traded in a bunch of CDs and so on. Thanks OP!

I want to mention that they got a bunch of used video games, mostly current gen stuff (PS2, GC, XB, 360, PS3, Wii, PSP, DS). Most are decently priced competitive to EB, some may be lower.

Yup. The prices are very hit or miss with the new/used video games.

At the Newark store, they had WarioWare Smooth Moves used for $39.99. At the Campbell store they had a used copy of Oblivion (360) for $29.95. Solid prices.

Though the same location had a used copy of Prey (360) for $29.99 and a new copy of Splinter Cell: DA (360) for $56.99. I tried to get an employee to double check the price for Splinter Cell, seeing as the 360 copy of Burnout Revenge I bought was only $27.99 new. She refused unfortunely.

I haven't been to the game section for either Berkeley or San Leandro, but the Campbell game section is pretty well stocked. The Newark store didn't have to much, just a little 4 way display by the cash registers.

these still rare? OI see a shit ton at walmarts near me.

Berkeley is very well-stocked. Lots of nice selection and any newish next-gen titles you can think of (including a full slate of DS games). As far as used games are concerned, I usually deprive them of their best used rpg deals every week or so, although there's plenty that i'm not interested in at solid prices (last i checked they hadTales of Legendia for $15, Disgaea 2 for $30, a copy of Hitman: Blood Money (360) for $19.99 that's worth 850 Goozex points . Definitely a nice place to scout out if you're able.
