Thought I'd go ahead and create a topic for Minnesota. As usual, be sure to include specific info such as the store's location when posting a deal (and of course, information about the deal itself). Enjoy!

I'm pretty sure Minnesotas best deal is any involving moving vans...

Come on, we've got to have some better deals than THAT

Well, this is hardly a deal, but the Owatonna GameStop store has Musashi Samurai Legend new for $20, and a used copy of Persona 2 for $27.99 I believe. I don't know if it's the re-print version though.

Well everyone should know.. that the Gamestop in Midway always.. ALWAYS has that Buy 2 used games get 1 free. And I saw a lot of Persona 2 there.. I'm not too keen with Playstation RPGs but yea..

Damn, I didn't know that

I always go to the Roseville or Maplewood Gamestops, but I'll definitely have to drop by the Midway one. Thanks for the info!

Yay, Minnesota love... too bad there aren't many niche gamestores around here. I'll post if I see anything.

Roseville GS suck IMO there just isn't anything. The Maplewood one is fine... I've been there just once though. But man that place is far and the CC there seem so.. secluded? I just think that whole area is. I love the GameCrazy in Maplewood. I got my DC there and the keyboards just in the summer.

Anyone been to Joko? It's around Midway. I know it is a kind of "joke", but the place will reopen Oct 21.. well that place isn't that great, but I remember I got a Bujingai for $20 (from $24.00 down to $20). The cover was printed and no manual, but all I really wanted is the game. I'm wondering how management will be like and etc.

I know. I used to go to this place in Mounds View, Big 10 Video, and right next to it, there would be a different game store every year. One time it was Game Depot, another time it was Gamer X. The stores were never busy at all, which explains why they all went out of business.

Gotta love the huge retailers taking over media sales. At least the new EP Best Buy opens on the 21st. Then I don't have to go to Richfield to sell my soul.

Do you guys know if they will have a grand opening sale?

Speaking of huge retailers taking over the little guys, are there any Funco's left in the Twin Cities? I just moved back to the Cities, but back in the 90's I remember a Funco in Roseville (which is now a GS, which as another poster mentioned, sucks monkey balls).

I did hit the Half Price Books in St. Paul (Highland) and in Maplewood and there were a few decent titles for the PC. Additionally, saw some good game guides but I don't collect those.

sure all the funcos got converted into gamestops. at least all the ones i knew about did.

The last Funco left I knew about was on the 3rd floor of MoA. Of course that has long since been turned into an EB.

Ummm....no. There never was or has been a Funco on the 3rd floor of the MoA. There was one on 2nd, and that was turned into a GameStop like five or six years ago. Since then, the EBX, EB and both 1st and 2nd floor GameStops all closed and there is only a brand new GameStop up on 3rd left in that mall anymore.

Really? I didn't think that the Gamestop on the first floor closed...then again, I haven't been to MoA lately.

The first floor gamestop closed a few months ago. It is now one of those Minnesota sweatshirt stores.

As for the EP BB grand opening, I saw a flyer in my STrib today with some deals. The only thing of note was a $15 giftcard for any combined purchase of $75 worth of CDs, DVDs and games. All the other stuff was meh.

Thanks Daz.

BTW...who's gonna be worse: Daunte or Brett?

Daunte will throw for 4 ints and 0 TDs.

Brett has been smokin' the last 2 games (well last 1.5). I don't think there's anything left in the Vikes tank.

BTW, Bryant McKinnie is signing autographs at the BB on Saturday.

Oh, also, I was just at MOA today... the Gamestop is on the 3rd floor across from the foodcourt.

I'm assuming EP = Eden Prairie. Sorry, I just hadn't heard of this grand opening. Anyone know a date/dates for this event? Thanks!

P.S. People are still wasting their time with the Vikings? Move on to the Wild people.
