So I went to last week, the new Five Below store in the Winston Plaza at Melrose Park, IL. Among the games there are Bakugan for NDS, Naruto Shippuden Clash of the Ninja 3 for Wii and Every Extend Extra for PSP. There are other games but those 3 are the better games in my opinion. So all games are $5.00, which are a huge steal, especially when you are looking how great the store is like. There are other stuff there but that's your decision.

They need to make these in the West Coast man!

I picked up Parappa the Rapper (psp), innocent life: a futrustic harvest moon (psp), syphon filter: dark mirror (psp) and a few others a couple weeks ago. selection seems to vary heavily between stores, but I always check in when I'm nearby.

I know there are a couple of locations that opened recently in IL. Bloomingdale and McHenry. There's another one in the Brickyard since I live in Elmwood Park, IL

Nice find, but I don't have any in my area :(

I wish there was more to your story.. like you happened to discover it because an employee gave you a wink and a nudge then told you 'shhh' as they pointed you in the right direction.

Nope, it was in their sales ad

Wait wha...they just opened one around the corner from me. I may have to go check them out, didn't know they sold games.

Ah where you at

Just stopped at one on vacation, picked up a few stylus pens for $5 each and some Griffin/InCase cases for my iPod Touch. Looked at the games, but nothing really interested me. They also had a few 3DS accessories there.

Around the holiday times they'll sell 360/PS3/Wii games. I remember last year they had about 5 or 6 different titles for $5 each.

I know I'll get these names wrong...At the Crossroads store in Cary NC, I saw Parappa the Rapper and Arthur M.'s Mercury Meltdown combo pack for the PSP. I didn't look at the other console games, but they have a huge selection of cheap headphones and gaming accessories.

5 Below also has a decent selection of DVDs.

I have never been in one of those stores, didn't know they had games. I'll check the Bloomingdale one out. Thanks OP.

Yea, Five Below is awesome. I have purchased several PSP/PS2/DS games for myself and my son.

I got Chulip there, which is pretty rare although not expensive. Highly recommend that game for 5 bucks if you want to play something incredibly strange, unique, and disturbing. Not good, but definitely those, lol.

looks like their opening alot of new stores they put one pretty close to me in pelham manor so i guess ill check this out eventually

They're springing up around me in MD/PA like crazy recently. I've picked up a few goodies like Chulip and the Aqua Teen game, and also some accessory bundles like the Twilight Princess and Phantom Hourglass lunchbox sets. Never hurts to check there.

They have one at Gravois Bluffs in Fenton, Missouri. Additional games of note include Sly Cooper and Sly 3. They also have $5 licensed Nintendo shirts, Mario figures and Nintendo/Sega pull cars.

And I'm willing to bet that all of you who find decent games at your 5 Below are also the same people that have Big Lots in the area that sell real games, too, amiright?

The 5 Below 40mins from me opened up 2 years ago and the three times I've gone in there I walk out with nothing but a laugh at the off-branded PS2 games or the knock-off iPad docks that they sell. There is nothing of any interest at all in my store, your stores must be golden meccas by comparison.

*waves grumbly old man cane at the kids in the front yard* BAH!

I hit up my local one in central PA from time to time. I think the only game I got there though was THUG for the OG XBox (Platinum Hits) for my bro. For a good while around opening (which was 2007 I wanna say) they were carrying a good bit of XBox and GBA games and then would get DS/360/Wii games for the random holiday, etc. sales.

I remember when they got Dark Sector and an older NBA 2K, but I had the former and no interest in the latter.

Oh, and my sister got a Yoshi shirt there.
